Thursday, April 14 (D-Day)

Science: Practiced calculating speed, wavelength and frequency as well as drawing waves. Waves worksheet is homework. Quiz on Wednesday, April 20

Geometry: Went over 11.2 homework and 11.3 notes (Area and perimeter of similiar figures). 11.3 worksheet is homework. 11.1-11.4 quiz on Monday, April 18. I am very concerned that "Spring Fever" has shown up this week in many students. Nearly 1/2 the geometry class did not have thier homework completed today (and they had 2 days!).

Social Studies: Students were introduced to chapter 14 and began to work on "lesson plans" for presentations tomorrow. Homework is to complete all notes required for presentations. Current events due "C" and "F" days.

LA - We did book discussions on the novels that are being read in and out of class. The boys discussed the first chapter of "With Every Drop of Blood", while the girls discussed the first 3 chapters of "In my Father's House." HW - Boys - Ch. 2, Girls - Ch. 4. They should also be studying for their test on Tuesday. Go WINGS! :-)

Algebra:  Assignment is Pre-test Warm-up.  Test is next Tuesday.  Reviews are attached (Practice Test & Revew Stations).
