Scale Factor songs
OK, Here is the link to the youtube kareoke that we will use for the songs:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sPYqLFokZtA&feature=related
The requirements are for you and your partners (no more then 3 total) will rewrite the song 'I'm Yours' by JAson Mraz so that one can learn how to
1)find scale factors
2)use scale factors
3)the relationship between the scale factor and areas of similar figures
4)How to determine if two shapes are similar
5)What is congruence
you must pick 3 out of the 5 points.
The trick is to count out each syllables for each line and make sure that your lyrics have the same number of syllables in it.
Lyrics according to lyricsmode.com
Jason Mraz
I'm Yours lyrics
Well you done done me and you bet I felt it
I tried to be chill but you're so hot that I melted
I fell right through the cracks
And now I'm trying to get back
Before the cool done run out
I'll be giving it my bestest
Nothing's going to stop me but divine intervention
I reckon it's again my turn, to win some or learn some
But I won't hesitate no more, no more
It cannot wait, I'm yours
Well open up your mind and see like me
Open up your plans and damn you're free
Look into your heart and you'll find love love love
Listen to the music of the moment people dance and sing
We're just one big family
And it's our God-forsaken right to be loved love loved love love
So I won't hesitate no more, no more
It cannot wait I'm sure
There's no need to complicate
Our time is short
This is our fate, I'm yours
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/j/jason_mraz/im_yours.html ]
And do ya want to scooch on over closer dear,
And I will nibble your ear
I've been spending way too long checking my tongue in the mirror
And bending over backwards just to try to see ya clearer
But my breath fogged up the glass
And so I drew a new face and I laughed
I guess what I'm saying is there ain't no better reason
To rid yourself of vanities and just go with the seasons
It's what we aim to do
Our name is our virtue
I won't hesitate no more, no more
It cannot wait I'm yours
There's no need to complicate
Our time is short
This is our fate, I'm yours
Well open up your mind and see like me
Open up your plans and damn you're free
Look into your heart and you'll find that the sky is yours
So please don't, please don't, please don't, there's
No need to complicate cause our time is short this
Oh this oh this oh this is our fate, I'm yours
Have fun

Sea Camp Day 3
This is our trip to Sea World. In the morning, students had a lab and went sea kayaking. Since all the the boats capsized, cameras weren't a good idea. Oh well. Enjoy the sea mammals and other critters. Please pay particular attention to Kyle's dolphin encounter which he won as part of last years Slavens auction. 7th graders, make sure you tell your parents how much you would like to walk in Kyle's footsteps next year. Also can you believe some of our students got to meet royalty!
Until tomorrow's boat trip,
Kirk and Kathy

Sea Camp Day 2
Greetings from Sunny San Diego! Well, sunny from the hours of 10 to noon between the moment the marine layer burned off until the instant returned. Don’t worry, despite the lack of rays we had a not so typical So Cal day. It all started in the fish lap (sorry, no pictures due to my camera eating batteries faster than a Slavens 8th grader wolfs down hash browns and eggs in the morning). First a trivia question, what smells better the combination of a baked bean dinner mixed with axe and Old Spice body sprays featured in the boy’s dorm or five day old Pacific Mackerel? The answer is…the boy’s dorm. Despite the pungent fishy odor emanating from the dissection victims the first presented to group A received a big wet hello kiss from Brandon. To come clean, I also kissed the fish and it wasn’t that bad as long as you exhaled the entire time. Once the welcome pleasantries were exchanged, students literally dove into the innards their subjects. We discovered that the inside of the Mackerels three gills was a pinky red color similar to the color of a sweet red watermelon, the heads partially detaches, and the guts when extricated are long and skinny not to mention an appetizing green color.
Did I hear someone mention appetizing? Nothing can be as appealing as a raw squid esophagus which Caden ate in its entirety. Yum! And that had to happen when my camera was dead. I have half a mind to ask him to do it again so I can get some video. Not to be out done, Jared sampled the Pacific delicacy of spiny lobster. Oops, I misread my notes, he ate Hagfish slime (mucus) which tastes like lobster. The Girl’s didn’t want to be out shined by the boys, so Jemma and Maura liked the keyhole lipid for good luck. To be honest, licking a lipid isn’t that gross. You’ll just have to trust me on this one.
After a quick hand wash and for a chosen few a mouth full of Scope, it was off to Mission Point for a picnic lunch, games, seining, and snorkeling part 1. The after lunch game was an extension of the fish lab called camouflage. In the game one person (first an instructor and then Duncan) would close their eyes and count to a number say 20 while everyone else hides, just like hid and go seek. After counting, the predator looks around and calls out to all the prey that they can see. If they the prey are visible, then they are caught. After the predators visual 360 degree visual sweep around the Mission Point Green. They then close their eyes and count to a smaller number then they counted to before. While counting, all the prey must run, tag the predator, and re-hides. As the amount of time given to hide decreases, more people get caught until there are one or two prey people left. Once Duncan preyed upon all of his classmates, it was on to suiting up for the water.
Watching students get into their wetsuits has been worth the trip to San Diego every year. Each time then don the 7mm of constricting neoprene, students can dress them self quickly, although there are always a couple of people who revel in the difficulty of the task. This year’s winner of the most entertaining wardrobe change goes to Bridget who meandered through group A asking for anyone to give her an “atomic wedgie”. Hannah was all to glad to oblige.
Once in the water, students saw many different kinds of sea life including a ‘huge’ octopus that inked on Brandon’s face. I would say that it was bad luck, first the fish kiss and then octopus ink, but he seemed to reveal in the experience. Other critters included sand dollars, fish, fish, and more fish, lipids, brittle starts, ocre sea stars, snails, and sea slugs.
After we extracted more ocean, I mean bay fun then seems humanly possible we headed back to camp for cell phones, basketball, and every ones favorite Sea Camp experience, cross country practice. Normally I wouldn’t mention the practice, but I had so much fun with the runners that came with me today. Kyle, Colin, Henry, Drew, Sasha, Hailey, Audrey, and Duncan ran about 3 miles around half of Fiesta island. We were running around and one of my favorite XC moments happened. I was running about ten feet behind the boys when spontaneously then just started to all sing. When does that ever happen which 8th grade boys? To make things more fun we were chasing sea gulls from the beach, but when we saw a Blue Heron, I know it required a different approach. I had the team line up on a tall sand bank about 30 feet from the waters edge and told them that there was a reward for the first person to tag the Heron. To my surprise they all sprinted down to get the Heron. Unfortunately no one realized that in between us and the bird was a fowl (pun intended) muck pit which claimed Colin’s shoe a foot down (he found it), caused Henry to slide on his rear end for 5 feet, and somehow turned Hailey’s face a shade of green brown I have never seen before. In spite of this, or perhaps because of this detour, we all had one of the most fun and memorable Sea Camp experience I can remember.
Enjoy tomorrow in land locked Denver. Tomorrow you are sure to receive the Sea Camp news that makes you long to be with us. Don’t forget to enjoy today’s slideshow on slavens8thgrademath.blogspot.com or slavens7thgrademath.blogspot.com.

7th grade will be taking the Benchmark 3 on the Promethean 'clickers'. I have a how to get it started video to watch to start the test. This video will walk you through how to assign the clickers to the correct students and how to start the test. You will need to assign the clickers for each 7th grade class. You may want to assign the first 7th grade class at the end of one of the 8th grade classes if there is time.
Here's the video:

2) Click on the warm-up below and display it for the students to do. Some of the kids may have worked on these problems from the unit review packet, so they may use it if they have it in the classroom (but don't let them go to their lockers to get it, they'll just have to redo it)

Class pet
So, I am thinking about getting a class pet, a snake. For this to happen, we need to find a place for the snake to spend the summer. Volunteering for this job would require you to hold the snake on occasion, feeding it once to twice a week (frozen mice, and cleaning it's cage on occasion (I have heard that this is a short and easy task, but I have never done this so I don't know exactly). If this is something that you would like to do, I would need to know sooner rather then later and I would also need to talk to your parents to make sure that your parents are alright with this arrangement. You can email me at kirk_framke@dpsk12.org to express you interest. The first student with parental approval will get to take the pet home for the summer. Below is the link to the kind of snake I am considering.
