Some students have submitted little or no work.  Please remember this is school - it is not busy work and it is not vacation.  Missing work is a zero.  Late work loses points.  Please check Google Classroom every day and please stay up to speed.  If there is an issue preventing you from doing or submitting work you MUST email and let me know - otherwise I will have to enter the appropriate reduced grade.

I have set up a Zoom meeting for Thursday April 2 at 11 am.  This is so I can answer any questions you have and to check in with you.  I can only set up a 30 minute meeting so please email me your questions if you can so that we can save time.  To the extent possible, in light of technology limitations, I expect all students to be in the Zoom meeting.

OK today is IXL day.  These assignments are due Tuesday.
I am also going to put up a video today (in Google Classroom) about finding distance in the coordinate plane - so you will want to watch that before you do some of the IXL.

Science:  IXL G 8

Math: X 3, 5, & 6  (X - 1, 2, & 4 were already assigned.  If you have not done them, you should do them now!)  X - 5 is the distance on a coordinate plane one and  X - 3 is quadrants - I will cover both topics in the video.  
I am also assigning pages 49 & 50 in your book - just send me a picture when you are done.  This is due Tuesday.
Then you will do the Problem Solving Connection on pages 51-54.  
After you do that, you will create a coordinate plane treasure map with at least four clues.  You will create the clues and you will make a graph of the solution, just like you did with Carlos' map.  I want this hand-drawn because I want to check your graphing skills.   So you are making two graphs - one to start from (showing a few places in the landscape - like Carlos had - start, tree, rock - like that), with clues, and another to show the finished  route to the treasure.  Make the graphs neat and pretty.
 We will then exchange directions and try to find another person's treasure using their clues.  So be imaginative.  I will grade on the accuracy of your graph and clues, and also on your neatness and creativity.  This whole thing - workbook pages 51-54 and your own treasure map - is due Wednesday.  Email if you have any questions.

Monday March 23

Check Google Classroom



Thursday March 19
  Continue working on assignments.  Thank you to all the students and parents who are so diligently working - we do not want to lose educational time!!
Beginning Monday, I will be posting videos so that we can continue the Math curriculum.  I will post the lesson and assign work.  I will hopefully set it up in Google so that students can comment and ask questions.  I am trying to keep the learning as "normal" and consistent as possible.
In Science I will continue to make use of the abundant resources out there, supplementing with projects and notes.
The most important thing we can do is to keep moving forward so that this educational time is not lost.  Thank you all for all your hard work.

     Science - I posted an assignment from pbslearning media in Google Classroom.  Additionally: Read and take notes (in notebook) Ch 2 Lesson 3 - pp 44-51.  Do p 45 Fig 1; p 47 "do the math"; p 50&51 "What makes a bug go Splat?"; and p 61 #8-14.  The answers to these questions should be written up and emailed to me by 2:30 Tuesday.
     Math - pp 45 & 46 in your book.  Notes & definitions should go in your notebook.  You should do this today, because IXL X-1, X-2 & X-4 is due Thursday morning 8 am
