th
7 GRADE
During the first nine week period, Miami and Seneca Science students
worked to develop an understanding of what science is not. Students have
discussed and studied vocabulary to describe how the work of science requires a
variety of human abilities (skills) and qualities (attitudes) that are helpful in daily
life.
Your student should be able to give examples of how thinking
scientifically is helpful in daily life.
Your child should be able to express how science studies are limited to
the natural world.
Your child should be able to compare and contrast quantitative and
qualitative observations as well as make inferences and predictions.
Your child should be able to run experiments by selecting good
questions, identifying hypothesis, collect scientific data, analyze and interpret
data, and write a 3 step power conclusion.
Classes are now beginning lab work. Labs are centered around relevant
safety procedures and use of appropriate tools and instruments in order to
complete scientific investigations using scientific inquiry (also known as the
scientific method).
Students in Mr. Johnson’s Social Studies classes are currently exploring
the world of the ancient Romans. We have discussed how the Roman Republic
compares to our government, the important emperors who came afterwards, their
brilliant innovations, and much more. The students are also working on their
argumentative writing skills by answering critical thinking questions dealing with
Rome. Some of the students constructed aqueducts for extra credit, and they did
a fantastic job on them. After we complete our study of Rome, we will move on to
the Byzantine Empire and Muslim civilizations.

Mr. Goldschmidt's Social Studies classes are currently learning how important the ancient Romans are to our
modern world. Classes will finish with the Romans and learn about their successors, the Byzantines, before the month
of November is over.
In the first quarter, Mr. Huwer’s Algebra students covered real numbers, patterns and functions, measures of
central tendency, representations of data, simplifying expressions, properties of real numbers, solving one and twostep equations, and operations with rational numbers. The Common Core standards they have been working with are
“Seeing Structure in Expressions,” “Creating Equations,” and Reasoning with Equations and Inequalities.” During the
next quarter, we will be addressing the following indicators: multi-step equations, inequalities, systems of equations,
and polynomials.
Also during the first quarter, Mr. Huwer’s Intro to Algebra students covered proportional and non-proportional
relationships with tables, graphs, and equations, ratios, rates, and unit rates, scale factors and drawings, and
operations with fractions. The Common Core standards they have been working with are “Ratios and Proportional
Reasoning” and “The Number System.” During the next quarter, we will be addressing the following indicators:
operations with integers and other rational numbers, converting between fractions and decimals, properties of
operations, and solving equations and inequalities.
Math 7 students in both Mrs. Huebner's and Mr. Huwer's classes have been busy working on Ratios and
Proportional Relationships solving real-world mathematical problems. This study of proportions included unit rates,
finding missing lengths in similar figures, and problems involving scale. This was followed by the Number System
study of applying and extending previous understandings of operations with fractions, as well as integers. Lately, we
have been focusing on writing and converting between rational numbers in the form of fractions, decimals and
percents. Next, we will begin Expressions and Equations where we will solve mathematical and algebraic problems.
Mrs. Butt's students have been focusing on narratives. They have been reading stories written from the firstperson point of view and have written their own personal narratives. Currently they are analyzing folklore and are
preparing to write an original myth. Writing conventions, grammar and vocabulary continue to be a priority to improve
student ability to communicate. During second quarter, students will also be studying persuasive writing. Students are
challenged to interact with peers in discussion, to support their ideas, to think deeper, and to read closer.
Miss Meece and Miss Saulmon’s Language Arts classes have accomplished so much during first quarter! In
reading, students have read a book called The Acorn People and handful of stories. With the stories, students have
completed several writing tasks, which required them to analyze character, theme, and plot. For homework Mon.Thurs., students have been reading a self-selected fiction book independently for 20 minutes per night and completing
reading logs with a weekly character analysis activity. This weekly activity will prepare them for their final project.
Because we have been reading stories about personal experiences, students also have been writing about their
own personal experiences. Our Friday journals have all been narrative prompts, and students are currently finishing
their own full personal narratives! We encourage you to ask your child to see their story. We are amazed at the
progress students have made from their first draft to their last. We have completed many revisions, and students have
really done amazing work. We have taken 2 unit tests, focusing on concepts in spelling, punctuation, and
capitalization. We are currently tackling subject, predicate, and complete sentences. These concepts are all in
students' interactive notebook, where they can use it throughout the year.
Coming up in class, we are shifting from narrative writing to argumentative writing. Students will be reading,
viewing, and listening to informational texts, and they will use the information to form and support an argument. Our
topics will be current and high-interest. We will continue reading some stories, focusing on types of conflict and how
conflict helps develop the plot and characters. Independent reading activities are on-going, with projects due on 11/21.

8th GRADE
Mr. Smith’s Social Studies students have closely examined the following topics:
·
The First American's Arrival and reasons why the first Americans came
·
European Powers competition and the quest for new territories/empires
·
The various reasons for European Exploration into the colonies both religious and economic
·
Implications of the slave trade involving the triangle trade of Europe, Africa, and West Indies
·
The results of the French and Indian War and the impact on the colonists
·
The Road to Revolution within our country and the signing of the Declaration of Independence
Students have completed various webquests over topics such as Jamestown, Colonial Williamsburg, and the
Middle Passage. Students also recently completed a computer project involving the program Glogster. This program
allowed students to create a virtual, interactive posterboard over a key figure of the Revolutionary War.
Students should continue to focus on applying content vocabulary and be able to argue and defend a position
over a given topic. Students also should continue to familiarize themselves with the use of various internet based
presentation tools.
We will next analyze the key events of the Revolutionary War and perform a close reading of key government
documents including the Declaration of Independence.
Mr. Riley’s Mohican students first quarter studies looked at the exploration and colonization of North America.
We focused on the interactions between the new arrivals from Europe and the Native people already living in North
America. We looked at both the economic and political reasons. Our studies also showed us that new beliefs were
being shared and expressed. Enlightenment principles would affect many of the decisions of this era. In our latter
studies, we observed the competition for control of the territory and resources in North America.
Second quarter has begun with the studies of the causes of the American Revolution, the writing of the
Declaration of Independence, and will continue through the establishment of a new government system for the United
States.
During the first quarter, 8th grade Pre-Algebra students focused on properties of powers and exponents,
scientific notation, transformations of figures, and types of angles formed by intersecting lines. To begin the second
quarter, students will learn how to apply the Pythagorean Theorem to real-life problems. The remainder of the second
quarter will be spent analyzing and solving linear equations.
The Advanced Algebra 1 students started the year by reviewing systems of linear equations and inequalities.
The rest of the quarter was spent on multiplication and division properties of exponents. In the second quarter,
students will show the real-life application of exponents in growth and decay problems and interest problems. The
remainder of the quarter will be spent on operations with polynomials and factoring and foiling.
The Geometry students have covered a great deal of material in the first quarter. They have acquired many
new vocabulary words relating to geometry, such as: conditionals, bi-conditionals, inverse, and contrapositive. They
have worked on writing proofs based on information given from triangles. Students watched a video on tessellations
and then created a piece of artwork from their own tessellation. To understand the point of concurrency, students
were put into two groups, given three spools of string, and had to decide where to place a hospital so it would be
equidistance from three cities. This was done in the auxiliary gym so they had room to work. Both groups successfully
determined the placement for the hospital by finding the intersections of the medians of the triangle placement of the
cities. In the second quarter, students will continue their work with triangles and then move on to quadrilaterals and
other polygons.
Mr. Askins’ general science students are about to wrap up our unit on Force and Motion. Students just
completed a final project dealing with force and motion by creating a car powered by a balloon. Students followed the
experimental design process to test and modify their prototype. The car design stated use of household materials and
a balloon as a motor to move their car. The group with the fastest balloon over a meter and a half was deemed winner
of the class. Students were testing these cars in relationship to Newton’s 3 Laws of motion, balanced and unbalanced
forces and the forces of friction. Students will be completing a section on types of energy in the next week before
moving on to the “Inside Earth.”

Physical science students are completing their unit on matter, identifying chemical and physical properties,
phase changes and gas laws. During this unit students have completed multiple labs and activities. We will be starting
the Atomic Theory soon and then we will dive briefly into the periodic table and the Periodic Law.
Mrs. Fox’s general science students are completing a physical science unit that focuses on motion, force, and
energy. Students investigated the following aspects of motion during Inquiry Based Labs.



What is motion?
What causes motion?
What changes motion?
8th graders then used the skills of analyzing and interpreting data to summarize and form conclusions about
motion. Technology became the next step for the science students as they utilized their information and designed and
built a Balloon Rocket Powered Car. The experimental design process was used to test and modify their prototypes.
Congratulations to Gavin Davis for designing, building, and testing a car that traveled 1.28m/s.
Mrs. Hewitt and Mrs. Butler’s Reading and Language Arts classes all had a great start to the school year!
Throughout the 1st quarter, students worked hard on building our vocabulary word wall, and focused on determining
literary elements in stories. Classes have covered prediction, characterization, and themes. Students wrote a friendly
letter, a narrative essay, and graphic novel reading project over a fictional novel of their choice. Classes will continue
to work on literary skills for both fiction and nonfiction stories throughout the 2 nd quarter. Advanced class will begin
reading The Maze Runner, focusing their attention on the archetype hero’s journey.
During first quarter, Mrs. Krogman’s students focused on finding evidence in text and supporting our responses
in writing. The text we studied was The Maze Runner and we wrote letters to the author and the movie’s director.
We’re anxious to see what responses we get! Students built vocabulary skills through our reading practice and through
weekly vocabulary packets. Packets are given every Monday and are due every Thursday, with a test at the end of
each quarter.
We are continuing our focus on author’s craft in second quarter, reading for both comprehension and analyzing
the effect of an author’s choices. Students are just completing their independent reading of The Outsiders and we will
begin The Giver soon. The Giver is a classic dystopian novel and will give us writing opportunities, such as narratives
and analysis, as well as content to compare with The Maze Runner.
Class announcements, information, and pictures can be found on Twitter by following @JanaKrogman
In Career Based Intervention Language Arts classes, the students just finished reading the novel, The Maze
Runner. We are also doing a short lesson on reading charts and graphs along with grammar, and writing activities. I
am available to answer questions or work with you in helping your son/daughter in any way. If you have questions
about your child’s work/volunteer placement or their academics, please feel free to call me, Mrs. Schneider, at the
Junior High.
We also do a monthly fundraiser, Market Day, where money earned is used directly to benefit students in the
program through enrichment field trips, employer appreciation gifts and student recognition. If you have not seen a
Market Day order form, please ask your child to bring one home for you and your friends. Orders may also be placed
through our online account at www.marketday.com, under Piqua Jr. High, CBIP.
On the job front for our program, we have 90% placement in paid or volunteer sites for the students, including
some recently hired by our local Wendy’s! New students are continuing to join the program and will need placements,
too. If you know of any local business that might be willing to employ a student a few hours a day, please contact one
of the CBIP Coordinator or Sondra Schneider, at PJHS, 778-2997.

ENCORE CLASSES
Mrs. Shannon's class started the year off learning about transition skills,
focusing on recreational and leisure skills of camping. We completed the unit by
tie-dying shirts and learning how to set up a tent. In September, our focus shifted
to history and the foundation of freedom where we learned the basic freedoms of
the Declaration of Independence as it applies to our lives. We studied specifics
of Benjamin Franklin, the American Revolution, Declaration of Independence
and the Constitution. Our monthly field trip was to Carriage Hill Farms in Huber
Heights to see how people lived back in the 1800's. For October, our unit
focused on American Heroes and how they contributed to America. We learned
about Rosa Parks, George Washington, Clara Barton, Jackie Robinson,
Angelina Jolie and Alexandra Scott. The students participated in activities
focusing on heroes, writing journals about heroes and completing graphic
organizers from videos on a few of the heroes mentioned. Our field trip this
month is to Brukner Nature Center, to explore the pioneer days, again letting
them experience life as it was long ago. In the second quarter, we will focus on
weather reports (an overview of weather conditions, temperatures and
interpretations for our lives). We will take a shopping trip to help prepare for our
annual Christmas party. We will learn about Hanukkah, Christmas, Kwanzaa
and Las Posadas during our shortened December and enjoy a holiday party at
Marion's Pizza in Troy.
More Important News
WASHINGTON D.C.
On Tuesday, May 19, 2015, more than 100 eighth grade students from
PJHS will embark on the adventure of a lifetime. They will be spending three full
days touring our nation’s capital, Washington D.C. Leaving Piqua that evening
and traveling by motorcoach, the students will hopefully get a good nights’ rest
as Wednesday morning when they arrive in D.C., they will hit the ground
running. Stops at the Washington and Lincoln Monuments, the Jefferson,
Roosevelt, and Martin Luther King Jr. Memorials, the Holocaust Museum, and
the Vietnam, Korean, and World War II Memorials are just a few of the many
places the students will visit. Guided by the highly knowledgeable tour guides
from K & K Tours, this trip is an educational experience these students will
always remember. The first fundraiser to help students offset some of the cost
of their trip was Market Day Pies. Order forms for the second fundraiser, Snack
Bags, will be sent home with students on November 3.
2013-2014 YEARBOOKS
Attention eighth graders……we have a few leftover 2013-2014 PJHS
Yearbooks for sale in the main office for those of you who didn’t pre-order one
last year. You won’t want to miss out on being able to look back at all the great
things that happened at PJHS during your seventh grade year. Cost is only $20.
See Mrs. Wion or Mrs. Barhorst to get your copy and have fun looking through
102 color pages of great memories.
Work will begin soon on the 2014 – 2015 yearbook. Look for order forms
to come home with students in March.

RACHEL’S CHALLENGE
During the second week of September, presenters from Rachel’s Challenge were in Piqua to meet with students
of the Piqua City Schools. On Wednesday, September 10, PJHS students all heard about Rachel Scott, the first victim
of the Columbine High School shooting in Colorado, and her “Code of Ethics”. Her goal was to motivate, educate and
bring positive change to many young people. Following the assembly, students were given the opportunity to accept
Rachel’s Challenge of:
#1 – Looking for the best in others.
#2 – Dreaming big.
#3 – Choosing positive influences.
#4 – Speaking with kindness.
#5 – Starting our own chain reaction of good deeds.
To accept Rachel’s Challenge, students were given the opportunity
to sign a banner, which now hangs in our buildings academic lobby,
pledging to follow her “Code of Ethics”. As a school, one plan we will be implementing is our own chain reaction of
good deeds. Red and blue construction paper has already been cut into strips that will be used to make a chain by
forming links. One link represents each time a student does a good deed. Each grade level will have their own chain,
and when they leave PJHS, it will travel with them to PHS, where they will hopefully be able to continue adding more
links and then be displayed at their high school graduation.
MUSE MACHINE
Muse Machine creates opportunities for student to experience many art forms from dance to opera. On Friday,
September 12, Piqua Junior High School was proud to welcome members of The Black Box Improv Theater.
“Everything You’ve Learned in School” was performed by the area’s only improv group that casts a comedic light on
the subjects and content that kids think they’ll never need to know in “the real world”. On Monday, October 20, the
Human Race Theatre Company presented “Othello”, one of William Shakespeare’s greatest tragedies. Our last
Muse Machine assembly of the year will be held on Wednesday, January 15. The Dayton Opera will be here with their
tribute to “The Magnificent Mr. Mozart”.
ATTENDANCE
Along with the winter weather also comes an increase in colds and flu. Parents, please remember that if your
child is going to be absent from school, it is very important that you call the school before 8:00 a.m. and state your
name, the student’s name, and the reason for their absence. Also, if you are going to be on vacation before or after
the winter break, please send a note to the school prior to the vacation in order for it to be considered an authorized
absence. Thank you.
LUNCH MENU
School lunch menus are now available to view online at our PJHS webpage found at www.piqua.org under the
Newsletters and Monthly Lunch Menu tab.
BUILDERS CLUB
Builders Club is off to a great start! Piqua Junior High students are showing up ready to serve. There have been
between 100 and 200 students at each meeting. Many of them have volunteered their time to work at the junior high
concession stands, to sell Project Purple t-shirts, and to attend the Alzheimer's walk in Troy. This month Builders Club
will be raising money to fight against cancer. Meetings are held on the first and third Fridays of the month during sixth
period. All students are welcome to participate.

EDISON COMMUNITY COLLEGE VISIT
On Friday, September 19 and Friday, September 26, the eighth grade students spent the day at Edison
Community College. While there, they attended three different classes that they had previously selected from a list of
various fields of study. They could choose from Robotics, Criminal Justice, Physical Therapy Assistant, Medical
Recording, and Physics just to name a few. The purpose of this day was to give the students a feel for what college
life will be like for them in a few short years.
CBIP FUNDRAISERS
The CBIP Poinsettia Sale is currently underway and runs through November 15. Students working towards the
Washington DC trip may apply profits from plants they sell toward their trip cost, thereby reducing the out of pocket
expense of the family. We also do a monthly fundraiser, Market Day, where money earned is used directly to benefit
students in the program through enrichment field trips, employer appreciation gifts, and student recognition. If you
have not seen a Market Day order form, please ask your child to bring one home for you and your friends. Orders may
also be placed through our online account at www.marketday.com, under Piqua Jr. High, CBIP.
