Mrs Kemp's 7/8 Class at W.H. Day

We’ve been learning how to calculate rates. We calculated the mean average of tv watching in our class. Then we used rates to figure out how much tv we will watch in our lifetimes. Our conclusion: we watch WAY too much tv and should get outside or read more!!

Mission:  summarize The Hunger Games in 3 words.  (Your 3 Words style as seen on ABC Good Morning America)

Our class created talking fruits and vegetables to help teach primary students about healthy eating (you can see our projects under the link “Get the real deal on your meal”).

We WON a Teach Nutrition Award and got this certificate and $100 to spend on something fun and healthy for our class!  We are still trying to decide how we will use the money!
 

20 questions:  What integer am I?

Austin also managed to line us all up in order in 2 minutes flat!

Welcome back from Christmas vacation! Now that frosty, snowy weather has arrived, we will be doing some poetry and writing activities focusing on winter settings. Students, add a sticky note with jot notes (not sentences) listing at least 3 good things about snow and 3 negative things about snow. Initial your sticky please.

Talking fruits and vegetables??!!  Listen and learn why you should eat more from this food group!

Mr Peck
Principal of school
He can really play pool
He likes to play volleyball with his staff
When he figures out what kind of poem this is he will laugh

If you read the comments below, Mr Peck almost figured it out but not quite.  The # of words follows the Fibonacci pattern!   

We used a website called Blabberize to record ourselves reading Langston Hughes’s poem “The Dream”.
