Wednesday, October 5

Science: Students completed a jigsaw for pages 32-34 & 46 in the notes packet. No homework. We will begin our next inquiry investigation next week "How Fast Am I?".

Geometry: Went over the 2.3 homework and completed the 2.4 notes. We also started the 2.5 notes. 2.4 worksheet is homework. Chapter 2 quiz on Friday.

Humanities: Students continued atlas work and shared current events in class. Homework is to complete the atlas worksheets if they were not finished in class.

Humanities: Students wrote sentences for Vocabulary List #3. They underlined their subject and boxed their predicate. The rest of the hour was "clean up" - Science Fiction stories were polished and ready for publishing tomorrow in the lab/Media Center. The Giver assignment was worked on - Chapters 1-5 read and write at least 5 events/characters/questions in Reader's Journal. Read AR book and/or take AR quizzes. I met with students that haven't taken at least 1 of the 3 books due for the marking period. We discussed a time line and made a "deal" as to when they would take the quiz.

Algebra (Graham) Review Day. I have attached a copy of the Unit 1/2 review. Page 1 (front and back) is expected to be completed for tomorrow.

Pre-Algebra: We finished talking about coordinate graphing.  Students should do all of worksheet 1.8 for homework.
