Let's Get in Gear!

Today in class, as expected, we discussed the good and bad aspects about working in groups...working as a TEAM! Many great comments were made about staying on task, listening to group members, and every team member doing his/her part in accomplishing the expected objective. As the year progresses, we will continue to reflect on these aspects of teamwork with the intent to improve the necessary life skill of working well with others!

After this discussion, we reviewed our homework from last night. Students were given full points on a question if they both answered the question correctly and restated the question into the answer. All students must remember that the homework policy states any assignment may be redone within one week of it being returned to them (in this case, by next Wednesday, September 5th).

Tomorrow we plan to continue working on Investigation 1.2 Making Graphs. Students will be expected to use their vocabulary knowledge from the lesson to create a graph for representing their Jumping Jack Experiment data. In addition, we will be analyzing these results in depth to decipher what changes in our endurance took place between jumping intervals.

Students need to be sure to come to class prepared (every day) with their graph paper, pencil, book, and binder (and any homework or papers that need to be turned in). If students continue to arrive unprepared, a phone call will be made home and students will be issued a detention.

Today's homework:
1~Redo Lesson 1.1 assignment if necessary
2~KEEP STUDYING THOSE MATH FACTS...you could have another timed test any day now :-) :-) :-)


PARENTS: OPEN HOUSE IS THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 6TH FROM 6:30-8:30 P.M. HOPE YOU CAN MAKE IT!!! :-)



Question of the Day: Seat belts were first used in cars 19 years before the first moon walk. In what year were seat belts first used in cars?


Good luck my savvy students!!! Remember, the first student to answer the Question of the Day correctly will get a small prize from me the next day! :-)
