Ms. Kearns' Class Blog: Tuesday...A-squared + B-squared = C-squared.

Day 3's always start with a trip to the library for Tech. Today students worked on their presentations for Mr. K., as well as research and printing for their soundtrack assignments. Apparently someone illegally was surfing Facebook (gasp!) and ruined it for the class. That is your time grade 8's so if you didn't use it wisely...I'm not sure what to tell you.

After recess, we worked on our Soundtrack assignments. I met with the rest of the groups and they were often on-task and had written work done. If by tomorrow your group doesn't have something written down, I'm not sure what to tell you. I feel like you might be in trouble. We have a tight deadline due to the Documentary Film Festival unit we will be covering and I want to be done this stuff as of next week.

This afternoon was dedicated to Math - specifically the Pythagorean Theory. We did an investigation and collected the results. We found that the theory works for Scalene triangles, that have a right angle. We wrapped up with a short Khan Academy video, and work was assigned: p. 53 & 54 #1-10. Please find the videos attached.

We ended with going out about 10 minutes early to enjoy the sun and wind. I will be available for extra help tomorrow. Math will be checked first thing. We will also be doing a bit of Geography tomorrow afternoon so bring your textbooks.

Have a great night!
