Tuesday

Today's tech period was spent researching either infographic health information OR finishing up science. Students were given the double period to work on their work so what they did in that time was up to them.

For English today we read from Speak. We got caught up in the story so we ended up spending time reading instead of working on our writing assignments. Homework tonight is to keep working on your rough drafts and editing will be done for you tomorrow if you have a finished piece of work to hand in for an edit.

For math the math teams were reunited once again for a transformation workshop. Students were asked to transform, rotate and reflect a shape of their choosing and then describe the steps they followed and write their translation vectors. Two groups presented today and students did well on this task. See pictures below. Homework tonight is to practice for the upcoming final test using the link below.
Scan down to the following title: http://ca.ixl.com/math/standards/ontario/grade-8

• 8.4.4 Location and Movement
• 8.4.4.1 graph the image of a point, or set of points, on the Cartesian coordinate plane after applying a transformation to the original point(s) (i.e., translation; reflection in the x-axis, the y-axis, or the angle bisector of the axes that passes through the first and third quadrants; rotation of 90°, 180°, or 270° about the origin)

For tomorrow:
