From the Math Department...
This morning, students went on a hunt in the class and in the hallways for fractions. With their ipads, they took photos of different fractions and then shared them in class. Each student sent their favorite photo to me, and I was quite impressed by the creativity! Yay for fractions!

Science Design Process Project
It's time for our first Science Design Process!
Here's a quick rundown of what students have to do:
-Invent a planet with at least 16 aliens
-Design a dichotomous key to classify all of the aliens
-Name and describe each final category on the dichotomous key, giving examples.
**The representation of the planet and aliens can take any number of forms: a poster, a drawing, a collage, a diorama, etc.
**The final project must also include the dichotomous key and the category descriptions, written, of course, in beautiful French.
Students have had plenty of class time to get started. The balance of the project will be completed at home.
Students have a rough copy, including all of the details of the project and a rubric showing how the final project will be marked. This rough copy must be handed in along with the final project.
The final project will be due October 15th.
