ShowMe is an online platform where students can go to find short tutorial for what is being taught in class.  Students can also create a tutorial to show their learning and post it to our group in order to help their friends learn the new concepts.  The school has paid for the memberships.

 

To join the class use the following group codes:

Grade 6 yezn

Grade 7 DISX

Grade 8 pcBu

Science 8

-We had a wonderful class watching all the lab safety videos.  They were creative, entertaining and educational.  We then went over some common French errors that students made in the videos.  While I do not take marks off for French errors, it is important to make note of them and review how to correct them so that students are able to improve their French.

Homework

Math 8

-Today we continued our work with PEDMAS and integers.  This is a difficult concept as students need to put together what they learnt in grade 7 with what we learnt this year.

Math 7

-Students need to have the divisibility rules memorized.

-Mathletics due Sunday night.  Remember to go between your two classes by using the drop down bar under your avitar.

-Students should be bringing a cheap pair of headphones to class.  We will be starting a “flipped” class.  Students will need headphones to use the ShowMe app for instructions.

Math 6 from the split class

-Students watched a video and then had time to work on three questions from the text on factors.  This should be completed for next class.

Math 6

-Today we learnt about composite numbers and reviewed multiples.  Students found common multiples. 

Science 6/7

-Students need to become more independent learners.  Students worked on their literacy skills.  Students need to be able to read scientific materials.  They reviewed the three states of matter and the particle theory.  We will not be in the lab this week as they are not working independently. 

-We also went over how students should be using the lines on the page when they take notes or write answers.  Basic work skills need to be improved before we can work independently in the science lab.

Science 6

-Students went to the lab today.  We had a demonstration on how to use a microscope.  Once students were done the naming the parts of the microscope sheet from last Monday’s class, they were able to practice using a microscope.  Students were able to view several slides.  Next Monday they will have the opportunity to demonstrate how they bring a slide into focus.

-We continue to work on our grade 8 project.  The grade 8 students will be hosting the end of the month assembly.  They are preparing a dance to showcase their talents.   As a group, they are also planning an amazing race for the entire school.  It is great to see them working together.  They are learning to work as a group, while taking on leadership roles within our school.

We will be back to regular "programming" soon.  The skills they are learning during this project will help them to be better lab partners.  I am pleased with their work ethic and the new skills they are developing.   Stay tuned as I plan to post some pictures next week of all their progress.
