Friendly Reminder

Just a friendly reminder that fees for the camp Chief Hector field trip are available to be paid online.

Hello World

So... someone decided to show up a little bit earlier than expected.  Mrs. Pedersen will be in for me on Tuesday.  Just keep working away at your Meiji TV projects.  Once you finish them up, you can put the file in your shared folder and I'll try to get them marked before I come back.

No longer practice Dad Joke:
Mrs. Ibbitson: "Why is there a strange baby in the crib?"
Mr. Ibbitson: "You told me to change the baby."

October 11th Hums

So we've moved on into the Meiji Era now!  We started exploring some of the massive changes that took place after Japan began opening up to the world again.  We just started working on our Meiji TV projects where we will be creating television shorts set during the Meiji period, imagining what life would have been like if they had access to Television 150 years ago.

Practice Dad Joke for the week: What did the turkey say to the computer?  "Google Google Google"

Hello 8-3 and 8-4.

Here are the slides from today's lesson.
Particle Theory of Matter

Have a fantastic long weekend. See you on Tuesday!

October 7 - SMATH

Thank you to everyone who brought in mason jars. We have enough for our lab next week.

In science we were in the lab today looking at temperature and the solubility of salt. We will have our entire science block tomorrow to work on the Lab Report.

Reminder that there will be a quiz on Surface Area on Thursday and I will be available tomorrow after school or during lunch on Wednesday for any support or questions.

October 4th Hums

Great job on the mythology presentations everyone!  They were a ton of fun to watch, and it was nice to get a feel for everyone's presentation and speaking skills.  The Letters to the Shogun are looking good too.  Please remember to get those to me ASAP if you haven't handed them in yet.

Also, just a quick reminder that the fees for the Camp Chief Hector trip finally made their way up onto the CBE accounts recently.

So we continued our exploration of how Japanese society and culture evolved during the period of isolation.  Next week we'll finish that up and start looking at how Japan reopened to the world and began a rapid period of industrialization and modernization during the Meiji period.

In case you missed it, here is the documentary we watched on the forging of a Katana.

Practice Dad Joke of the week:  What kind of egg did the evil chicken lay?  A deviled egg.

October 4 - Smath Update

Unfortunately, we had to postpone our lab for this week, but that means we have a double block on Monday to test out solubility.

I have consolidated all the notes you created for your Separation Technique presentation and the link to the google doc is here.

Thank you to everyone that brought in Mason Jars. We will not be using them for Monday's lab but we will be using them the following lab.

Have a great weekend.
