In eighth-grade Algebra, students will explore linear relationships and how they can be used to model real-world situations and solve problems. This exploration will include the use of tables, graphs, equations, and functions. Students will apply these tools to situations involving two distinct mathematical relationships. The meaning of equality will be emphasized and explored throughout the course as students learn how to solve equations in one and two variables. Students will also study slope, y-intercepts, linear inequalities, Pythagorean Theorem, and arithmetic sequences.  Students will use algebra as a tool to model real-world situations and solve related problems.  Emphasis will be placed on developing the skills to explain their reasoning in algebraic terms. WIN stands for “What I Need” and provides an opportunity within the math block for students to get the additional support they need in math, whether supplemental supports or extension and enrichment.

Focuses on the foundations of art (elements, principles, aesthetics, and art history) by creating 2-D and 3-D media possibly including, but not limited to: drawing, painting, printmaking, collage, multimedia, crafts, and sculpture. This studio class will provide hands-on experiences that will allow you to develop your production skills as you express your own ideas, thoughts, and feelings. Students will work to revise, evaluate, critique, discuss and present their work and the work of others.

This semester exploratory art class will allow students to look at and learn about the many different styles of art from all around the world. In this course students will identify a variety of visual arts media and then use the creative process to make sense of the world around them. Perhaps they will take a closer look at the jade carvings from China or the hand stitched molas of Mexico. Wherever their art travels take them to, students are bound to enjoy this fun hands on look at the vast world of art.
