Happy Wednesday to one and all. Thanks to the 1/3 of you that have signed up for Class Dojo so far. I have been using it some already the past two days. The entire class got a point for being on task today, but then lost it when we made it to the hallway. Room for growth! We talked about the earth in space in geography today. In science we looked at how a water molecule is made up and why that is important. We hit lesson 2 in math and talked about various math properties that let us do the things we have been doing for years now. (2+0=2)

Math: set 2 for TOMORROW skip 2,9,14,18,22
Science: fill in A,B,C and A,C from the section for TOMORROW
Geo: page 38 numbers 4-6 for TOMORROW

Literature: Read ch 4 of Holes and do the worksheet for FRIDAY

Welcome to day 1. We covered some routines and got logged on to our Chromebooks and Google Classroom. We also got through a math lesson, discussed some generalities about geography and learned that water is really important.

Math Set one: skip 1,9, 16, 17, 22 for tomorrow

New Year

Welcome to a new year! If you are a parent from last year and just got this as an emal, remember to unsubscribe from my blog and subscribe to 8th grade. If you are a parent for this year, please sign up to get the blog daily by email! It's full of info, and even a little humor once in awhile!

We had a great trip today. The kids had a lot of fun. We had the place all to ourselves for the first 30 minutes. Then another school joined us. It turned out to be 11 2nd graders from Redeemer Lutheran in Appleton! That was quite nice, actually. I have lots of pics and vids. I am putting these in a dropbox.com folder that I can get you hooked up and give you access to, if you'd like. I'll also include a few below.

Happy beautiful Friday.

We took a math test, so no homework there. Just a few worksheets for Geo and Science that will be due on Monday.

Please make sure you fill out a waiver form for next week Tuesday, either online or hard copy. Thanks!
