Science: Today we began planning the "How Fast Am I?" lab, which is the inquiry lab for Unit #1. We will be collecting data for this lab next week Monday & Tuesday (3rd hour is invited to a pizza lunch on Monday so that they can complete data collection as this class does not meet Tuesday & Wednesday due to the MEAP). Lab planner is attached. Quizzes were also returned, quiz corrections are due on Monday.
Geometry: We spent a lot of time discussing the 2.5 homework and then started the quiz. We also discussed a comment made during the Tiger's game last night about pitches changing planes as an example to further deepend our understanding of planes. The quiz was assigned as homework. The chapter 2 test will be Monday, October 17.
Humanities: Students checked atlas work, reviewed 1.1 of the text, discussed current events and watched student news in class. No homework.
Language Arts: Students took a 3 minute Reading Assessment before taking their Vocabulary #3 Quiz. We then conducted our first Novel Classroom Discussion on The Giver chapters 1-5. Almost all students have taken their first AR quiz and are making progress on their second. Good job, keep up the great work! Homework: READ!
Pre-Algebra: We reviewed for our chapter one test on Monday. STUDY.
