Pre-Algebra: We went over homework and did more practice with negative exponents. Homework-Finish practice test. Some students finished already. Chapter 4 test on Tuesday.
LA - Today was C day so I only saw one 8th grade class (3rd hour). Student's decorated their writers notebook. We then read the short story "The Jacket" out loud and discussed certain parts where they had to try and place themselves in the story, what are they seeing, hearing etc. We then set up the notebook with the table of contents and the first practice mini lesson. Students are learning how to live in the world of the story and experience the story intensely. (Working on straying them away from being a "plot junkie" like me!) HW - finish "The Giver" and the packet, due 1/31. Students should also be working on their science fiction project.
Algebra: 5th hour- started section 7.3, Homework - worksheet 7.3 Have a great weekend!
