Thursday, March 3 (D-Day)

Science: Began working on similes for our electricity unit. We will continue tomorrow by making posters and writing paragraphs explaining our similes. No homework!

Geometry: Went over 8.6 notes & worksheet. Quizzes were also returned. Chapter 8 practice test is homework. 

LA - Students were introduced to the novel "The Outsiders".  Ch1 and 2 and due today and we will have a discussion in class regarding what is going on. We also did an activity were the students had to come up with titles for each chapter and tell why that would be a good title. The list was put on the board and students voted for the best title. For some reason S.E. Hinton does not put chapter titles in her books. We also discussed what types of people might be "outsiders" in our society and why. HW - Chapter 3 and 4 due Friday for discussion.
Pre-Algebra: We finished lesson 5.6.  We are solving 2-step equations with fractions. Homework-worksheet 5.6, #13-24.

Algebra: Take home quiz!! Due BEFORE 1st hour.  Points will be taken off for each class period it is late.
Good luck!
 
Technology - Began our EDPs in Career Cruising today, next meeting we will complete all the requirements and print out the results for parent signature.  Career Cruising (as well as Moodle) is accessible from home/library.  Check it out with your student :)
