In the midst of their algebra unit, our 8th graders took some time to perfect their graphing skills by making Stained Glass Windows. Students designed patterns using a graphing calculator by writing equations in slope-intercept form. Once they finalized their designs, they graphed the y intercept then used the slope to make another point and create a line. Then each students colored in the cross sections to imitate a stained glass window. As we do at the end of every project, students participated in a gallery walk to comment and reflect on all the progress that their peers have made. Here are some of the results! After reading The Giver and other related texts, 6th grade students determine if the novel is a cautionary tale. Working in groups, students then create their own utopian society and communicate how their society functions, including government, education, transportation, etc. This week junior high reminded us that teamwork makes the dream work in PE! Students were given a piece of cardboard and a marble. They had to connect the cardboard pieces and make the marble roll down. The ultimate goal was to have the marble roll into a bucket that was placed at the end of the gym. The anticipation and excitement was very high!
