“SHOUT-OUTS” Congratulations to …

They had to factor those trinomials using any of the three methods they learned in class. It is great when
small groups work together. Mrs. Deiss loves the discussions they have when solving problems and loves
watching how they debate over the best method to use. Students feel invested when they are the ones who
get to create the problems to be solved. They are much more receptive to the lesson instead of just
working from the book. One example created is:
Group #1 Created: (2x + 3)(3x + 4)
Group # 2 Multiplied to get: 6x 2 + 17x + 12
Group #3 Factored, using the table method of grouping, to get: (2x + 3)(3x + 4)
It’s a Cell-A- Bration! On February 8, 2013, the
students in Ms. McDonald’s Biology class
wrapped up their weeks of learning about the cell
theory and cell parts with a video viewing and
organelle tasting celebration. Each class divided
into groups to create a visual presentation about
the cell theory and the parts of the organelle.
Most chose to display their artistic styles in song
and dance. Each group presented their work to
their peers during the cell-a-bration. In addition
to the viewing, each student brought in a dish to
share that reflected an organelle of their
choosing. It could either relate to the organelles
structure or function.
