English

With Ms. Sveiven

In English, we learned all about different types of writing, such as narrative and informative. We read a novel called "The Giver" by Lois Lowry and many news articles, some fake and some reliable.

My annotated news piece:

The assignment was about making sure a article is creditable and reliable.

I chose a article about the pros and cons of binge-watching.

The Solar system slides

Math

With Mr. Bascara

The assignment was to make a kimono with information about Functions inside it. It was my favorite because I got to actually design the kimono and color it.

Science

The Solar system slides

I loved doing this assignment because I'm really interested in Astrology. The planets are so fun to learn about. I also drew characters based on facts about the planets!

In Science we have been learning about Astronomy and Non-contact forces! Students have studied the solar system, analyzed the planets, and created models of the solar system and Earth-sun-moon system.

Math

With Mr. Bascara

In 8th grade math, students have worked with Number Systems, Expressions and Equations, and Functions, and will be diving in to Pythagorean Theorem, Geometry and Probability and Statistics for the remainder of the year.

Function Kimono

The assignment was to make a kimono with information about Functions inside it. It was my favorite because I got to actually design the kimono and color it.

"History of the Terrible, Treacherous, Trade"

With Mr. Santana

The assignment was to write a poem about the early English settlers. The poem had to have 10 words from the unit and everything had to rhyme

My favorite moment in the class was when we briefly talked about historical clothing. I absolutely love the clothing from the civil war and it's very interesting

About the class...

We exercise everyday in Mr. Mc Daniel's class. Every few weeks we change units and learn about different sports. Right now we are learning about volleyball and it's origins.

P.E. fitness charts

I like the P.E. fitness charts because they get me to work out and it's fun to fill them out.
