Mrs. Kahler's 8th Grade Science Class

Friday, May 02, 2008

Here we go, the last marking period for the 2007- 2008 school year. The weather is improving too. This is so exciting. All the end of the year plans are coming together too.

We did begin Reproductive Health last week on Thursday. The kids are so excited.:) We went over the classroom ground rules and I am encouraging them to go home and talk to you about what they learned in class each day. It is so important to know where our kids thoughts are on these topics and sometimes in a classroom some students will not share their thoughts on the matter.

Have a great week!

Science
Monday, May 5 -Happy Cinco de Mayo

We will be reviewing the ground rules for Reproductive Health and voting on Peer Leaders. Then we will begin the video, The Miracle of Life.

Tuesday, May 6

We will be finishing the video, The Miracle of Life.

Wednesday, May 7

Today we will be reviewing the Male and Female Reproductive System. We will review the function and the location of each and place it in the correct location on the worksheet.

Thursday, May 8

Today's lesson is, "Not Everyone is Having Sex." Students will be listing reasons why teens choose not to have sex and identify other ways of showing love and affection without having sex.

Homework: Then and Now worksheet p. 3. Due May 9th.

Parents/Guardians, please note that this worksheet is only asking for you to return the bottom section of the worksheet saying that you and your child discussed the questions. What a great opportunity for you and your child to talk. If it is uncomfortable looking at one another, may I suggest completing this while riding in the car. No eye contact needs to be made, but you have a captive audience.

Friday, May 9

Collect homework sheet p. 3. Today's lesson is, "The Safest Choice: Deciding Not to Have Sex".
We will be discussing what a "norm" is and its effect on personal decisions. Then we will be discussing characteristics of NO statements, effective NO statements, and how to use NO statements effectively.

Parents,
Please excuse the homework from Friday, May 9. We ran out of time during class to complete the entire lesson. I hope to be returning to Reproductive Health lessons in another week.
Thank you,
