Friday, October 7

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.

Spanish I reminder: please remember to tell your parents that there will be a Chicago information meeting on Tuesday at 6 PM in the media center. A representative from Travel Adventures will be there to talk about the trip, answer questions, and explain how to register online.  Your first test is on Tuesday, October 11th. 2nd hour students: you will have your test on Thursday, October 13th next week because of the MEAP and Fun Run.

Algebra(Graham) Took our test. Some students did not finish. Those students will have 15 minutes to finish on Monday. If they need more than that, they need to come see me at lunch in the MYP computer lab.
