Thursday, October 13

Geometry: Went over the 2.7 worksheet and quizzes were returned. Most common mistakes on the quiz included not completely answering questions and confusing inductive with deductive reasoning. Students can do corrections by explaining their mistakes or how to solve the problem. For examples of deductive reasoning students should look back at the notes from section 2.3. The Chapter 2 Practice Test is homework.

Science: Continued to work on the "How Fast Am I?" lab. We will continue to work on the lab tomorrow, rough drafts will be due on Monday, October 17 and final drafts will be due on Thursday, October 20. Students could begin working on their rough drafts NOW!

Spanish I: Vocab on 1.2 (pg 69) is on Monday, Oct 17th.

Humanities: Students reviewed 1.1 and 1.2 in class. We also discussed 1.3 and current events. Homework is to complete notes on 1.3. Homework folders are due tomorrow.

Pre-algebra: We continued to talk about the Commutative and Associative Properties of Addition and Multiplication. No homework.

Langauge Arts: Students handed in their "Subjects and Predicates" packet. Hopefully this cleared up confusion as to what each is and how to find them. From student comments...it did!  We had our The Giver chapters 6-10 disucussion and prepared for tomorrow's quiz. The quiz format will be: matching vocab words and definitions, multiple choice for The Giver, short answer essays for The Giver & one short answer opportunity for extra credit.

Algebra (Hill): Today we worked on solving single step equations. Home work finish the section 3.1 worksheet
