*Do this first*


Today, the teachers say farewell to the 8th grade class.


Math

Our final Math class requires you to complete the QUIZ posted on Google classroom. Once you have finished it, send it to me along with any work still not sent.

I will be communicating with you if there is work you still need to complete next week. THANKS FOR YOUR HARD WORK DURING eLEARNING!!!!!!!


Language Arts

Thanks for another great year! I am already looking forward to next year and having the opportunity to watch as you become the leaders of the school. Have a terrific summer, and thanks for working so hard during the 4th Quarter! I am proud of you! Love, Mrs. Rooney


Pre-Algebra

As I stated in an email sent out on Tuesday, the test "went live" at 4 pm yesterday. If you finished it, you are all done with pre-algebra for this year.

If you haven't started the test, it is posted on Google Classroom. It is due by Monday at noon.

Thank you for all the hard work - I know it hasn't been easy!


History

M21 Reformation has wrapped up! Test today! It is posted in Google Classroom. Have it done today please! We are scheduled for a live lesson today. I will be on at 10am if you have any questions about the test but otherwise have nothing else for you!

HAVE A GREAT SUMMER! Thank you for your hard work and for being a great class to ZOOM with!


Code-it May 22

Last class! Everything is in this form. Email me if you have questions. dkonyk@stpaulwestlake.org

  1. First watch my video attached in the above form. The first few questions are about the elective class. I am so glad to have worked with all of you and you HAVE grown in your skills, confidence, and talents.

  2. Next in the form, is a video about photogrammetry. I wondered if this is also good for CDA, but the technique is used in so many science, engineering, and social sciences that it is good for this elective! Watch the video, and do your best with the questions. Remember I curve the grade, the questions are to make you think. But do try to get them right.

  3. If you have make-up work, there is a separate assignment to help you make up work. All zeros can be made up before May 29. (Educate.tads is the official grade)

  4. I'm so glad you chose this elective this year and you are welcome to try it again in a future year. I thank you for your talents and time you have shared in this class. God's blessings on your summer. Ms. Konyk
