Dream Team Homework

Welcome to week 2 of non-traditional instruction! As we've gotten used to our new schedule, we are adapting our plans for this week to make sure that students are having the best possible experience while learning from home. Ms. Embs (the Equestrian L.A. teacher) and I have adapted all 7th grade Language Arts classes to a new schedule found at the links below: Here is the schedule for 4th, 6th, and 8th hour Language Arts classes. Here is the schedule for 2nd and 5th hour Language Arts classes. Be sure to be checking Google Classroom for your assignments. If you are using paper copies, make sure to follow the schedule here, not the one printed on the front of your Language Arts packet. As always, contact me at carrie.mahagan@fayette.kyschools.us if you have any questions!

Happy first day of NTI! Students, please check your Language Arts Google Classroom website ( https://classroom.google.com/ ) to see your assignment for today. Today, students are reading a text from their Close Reader workbook, answering the accompanying questions, and completing a graphic organizer on Google Docs. If students do not have their workbooks, they can use their Collections online textbook or the PDF version on Google Classroom. Here is a quick resource for my expectations during Non-Traditional Instruction (as well as what you can expect from me!) As always, don't hesitate to contact me at carrie.mahagan@fayette.kyschools.us if you have any questions.

Students need to prepare for their vocabulary tests tomorrow over the Lesson 10 words. 4th, 6th, 8th Hours 2nd and 5th Hours There are also two optional extra credit opportunities that are due tomorrow: The Joseph Beth bookmark competition and the Breakfast Book Club book talk form .

Today in all classes students saw an Amplify video introducing the next mission.  The name of the unit if Metabolism.  Students also took the pretest and were able to explore the new simulation that they will be using during the unit.

There are still some students who need to complete their Chapter 16 Section 1 notes. These have to be done by tomorrow. If you did not finish the Aztec Ballgame Webquest, that needs to be done by tomorrow as well. That can be found on Canvas. *We will have an open note quiz on Monday 3/16 over sections 1 & 2. We will complete section 2 in quiz tomorrow and wrap up discussion on both sections.

2nd, 4th & 5th hours -  39 - Topic 7 test Review .  Test tomorrow 6th & 8th hours- A3 - Topic 11.1 pages 469-470 #6 - 12 and 15 - 21

Today in science we took the Light Waves Post Test and students, if time permitting, were able to work/complete the argument paper for the unit. Argument paper on Light Waves Unit (3.6, the homework) due tomorrow.

If you did not finish your Chapter 16 Section 1 Notes, you need to do so for homework tonight. I have attached the link to the textbook below. https://www.boone.kyschools.us/docs/building/9/unit%205%20chapter%2016.pdf You will only get 10-15 minutes to finish your Aztec Ballgame Webquest tomorrow. So if you feel you did not get enough done today, please work on that tonight. It is on Canvas.

2nd, 4th & 5th hours -  38 - Probability Review .  Test on Thursday. 6th & 8th hours - A2 -Scatterplots and Histograms

In science today in all classes we reviewed the Light Waves Critical Juncture and continued to work on the argumentative piece supporting or refuting the unit claims. TOMORROW JOURNAL CHECK TOMORROW POST TEST ON LIGHT WAVES ARGUMENTATIVE PIECE DUE THURSDAY

Today in all classes I posted on the board each Light Waves Amplify Assignment that needs to be done on the program so that students could see what they have, or have not, completed.  I told my classes to take a pic or write down each assignment so that they could check their own work.  Students were also given a writing assignment, Amplify, to prove the claim for the unit question:  "Why does Australia have the highest skin cancer rate?" This assignment was given on Friday. Students will have until the end of the day on Wednesday to complete all assignments, including the Post Test on Light Waves, and the written argument assignment. HOMEWORK: Due on Wednesday! Light Waves: Critical Juncture Post Test Claim Paper Any Outstanding Amplify Light Waves Assignments (most were assigned in class and given class time to complete).

2nd, 4th & 5th hours - 37 - Probability Sample Spaces.  Test on Thursday. 6th & 8th hours - A1 - Box and Whisker Plots WS

2nd, 4th & 5th hours - 36 - Probability Review 6th & 8th hours - A36 - Bar and Line Graphs

2nd, 4th & 5th hours - 35 - Probability Review on simulations 6th & 8th hours - ER - Build A Barn.

Today in science all classes looked at visible green's affect on different objects, and we discussed Fiber-Optic Communications. A couple of the classes were able to begin the Critical Juncture for Light Waves.  We hope to finish up the unit at the start of next week.

Today in class we reviewed for the test tomorrow. Please review your chapter 13 notes. I have attached a link to a document that has the important points from the review Kahoot today. The test will have more than just this document, make sure you review your notes. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Ip1eGpS5ztwLt8LYhgIW85UC3v-j8aej0aVkNNRLEjY/edit?usp=sharing

2nd, 4th & 5th hours - 34 - Probability Review 6th & 8th hours - Study.  Test Topic 9 tomorrow.

The morning classes completed the hands-on lab activity claiming that light either does or does not move in a curved line, can be absorbed and reflected.  The afternoon classes are working on Amplify simulations and annotated reading. Tonight's homework for 5,6, and 8th hours is to read and annotate "How Fiber Optic Communications Work." ALL CLASSES TODAY WERE ABLE TO GO OUTSIDE WITH THE SPECTROSCOPES TO LOOK AT THE ACTUAL LIGHT WAVES FROM THE SUN.

2nd, 4th & 5th hours - 33 - Topic 7.7 pages 401-402 6th & 8th hours - A34 - Topic 9 Review. Test Topic 9 on Thursday.

Today most classes did a hands on lab looking at light as it hits different objects.  Students used the information to support or refute claims on how light behaves with matter.  Once completed students got the opportunity to watch water's reaction with light.
