S.S.: p. 28-37 Test

  In Social Studies, we are going to have a test on what we have learned so far. The test has been scheduled for Thursday, October 24, 2013, right before the long weekend. It will be on pages 28-37 of our textbook. Ms. Costanzo has given us booklets and sheets to help us study, such as the module sheets, the textbook definition sheet, and the Food Gatherers booklet. According to Ms. Costanzo's wiki (link), it will include the following:

• True and False questions
• Multiple Choice
• Fill in the Blanks
• Concept Questions (explain and write about a topic)

The test shouldn't be too difficult if you have studied and reviewed your handouts and notes.

  There is a lot of things you should know for the test. You should know about the Stone Ages; Paleolithic, from the years 2.5 million-12,000 years ago; Mesolithic, from 12,000-10,000 years ago; and Neolithic , which was 10,000-5,500 years ago. You will also need to know the stages of human development, homo habilis (2.5 million-1.5 million years ago), homo erectus (1.5 million-250,000 years ago), and homo sapiens. You probably need to know the two kinds of homo sapiens, the Neanderthals (first found near Neander River in Germany in the year 1857) and the Cro-Magnons (named after a cave in France in which their remains were first found). You should review your vocabulary on the definition sheet, and read the picture captions in the textbook. Dates are pretty important in Social Studies, and memorization and being to explain things is key. There is much material to study for this test, so it is better to study beforehand than to cram it all in today, or the day before.

Christmas in October Results

         

       

       The next half of competitions we didn’t do so we can’t talk about their results. On Wednesday, which is the day I wrote this, we are going to have a basketball competition. Three teams from each class are recommended. There is three teams for the grade eights, but one team from the grade sevens. I am in one team and my partners are Mark and Amrit, hopefully our grade wins because our class is most likely in 3rd place out of 4 classes. Then the last competition is the Jello eating contest. Which is another event i want to join so i don't have to make a lunch.  

           Christmas in October Results

       

        On October 21^st to the 24^th, the junior high will be having an event called Christmas in October and there are results for each day. For the first day we had a tug-of –war competition between each grades. Our grade lost pretty badly against the other grade 8 class and a grade 7 class. We only won 3 points that day while other classes were awarded with at-least 10-15 points. We did so badly that I got dragged through half of the field because the rope got stuck at my ankle, and it kind of hurt. The next day we had a Karaoke Competition, but the person who was going to bring in the karaoke machine didn’t. She either broke it, forgot it, or just wasn’t able to, but it doesn’t matter, not that many people were going to sing.

SCIENCE AGAIN

                                                 Science Again
   Now in science we are learning about viscosity and pressure. We have a titanic newspaper due on Oct.24.2013 or a video on Oct 28. We did a expirement where we tried to put out a candle with carbon dioxide, which failed horribly, also David.A took the bottle with the old water and shook it, it wouldnot work any more and then he opened it trying to fix it he opened the cap which broke it more.

   We have a science test on halloween, which sucks because it is halloween. The test is on Fluids, Viscosity, Pressure, Density member. THE END! 

Stuff More Stufffffffff

  For ICT we have to do stuff and this is one of them and I’m doing career cruising because I couldn’t think of anything so I was given this I wanted to continue on what I did last time, but I don’t think she would of deemed that legible. On career cruising we do stuff and you people already know sooooooooooo. In the end I got  some unwanted jobs such as bookbinder, craftsperson, makeup artist, and electrician. Then the brochure I pick something I don’t remember.

 

  I just picked a random job from my list and i am going to keep all those random pictures that come with the template. i am going to put stuff to take up stuff in some of these things or make the font bigger and i just ran out of random things that have to do with this.

Treasure Island

Treasure Island

In Ela, we are reading a book called: Treasure Island. So far we read up to chapter 2, Mr. Beaudry told us that we could read more if we wanted. He told us that all of the pirate movies and mostly everything we know are mostly made up of this book. This book made fun of the pirates and from Treasure Island, terrible one handed peg legged eye patched parrot loving pirates were born.

          Mr. Beaudry gave us chapter 1-2 vocabulary because some of the words were tough. After that he gave us a little assignment and we had to do a chapter 1-2 story summary that is due today.  Maybe he will make us do more in the future...
