Benchmark coming up

Next Monday will be the benchmark test for 8th grade Science. Students should be reviewing their notes for the entire year as well as our EOG warm-ups (on mint green paper).

replacement lab/bonus assignment.

Today, I will be giving students a sheet titled "How do you stack up?" This can be used as a replacement for a missed lab or for bonus, if all labs have been completed. It will be due on Tuesday, April 29.

edit: I have been told that some students have been having problems understanding the directions for the lab. I am wondering if this stems from the fact that steps 1-4 are somewhat incorporated into the second sheet titled "Color + cutout". They don't need to worry about redrawing the outcrops, they only need to color them and cut them out.

Students did not complete homework and 3rd quarter coming to a close.

Second period--10/24 students did not attempt the assignment.
Third period--12/24 students did not attempt the assignment.
Fourth period-- only 6 students did the assignment.

This assignment had only 5 questions on it. I hope this is not a sign of what is to come for the rest of the year.

The quarter is coming to a close. I will be trying to have my grades done before we go to the outerbanks next Wednesday, March 30. This means I need all work from absences by this Friday. Any work not not turned in becomes a zero in the grade book.

This is a test to see if my youtube account connects to my blogger account. (And it is a good video to introduce something we will be discussing in class soon and very related to current world events.)
