Science: Today we went over the Critique Reflection portion for the "How Fast Am I?" lab and students then were able to either start on their rough drafts, complete their research or any other work they needed to do for the lab. The rough draft of the lab is due on Monday (the lab planner does NOT count as the rough draft) and the final draft is due on Thursday, October 20. Click here for a copy of the rubric.
Geometry: Today we went over most of the practice test. Because we didn't get to finish our discussion I have decided to move the test to Thursday, October 20 (Geometry doesn't meet on Tuesday or Wednesday next week because of the MEAP). Homework is to complete the chapter review on pages 134-137, odds only.
Humanities: Students turned in homework folders and continued our discussion of European exploration in class today. No homework. Go State!

Language Arts: Students took their Vocabulary/The Giver chap 1-10 quiz and then were given time to take AR quizzes, read, or work on their Science Fiction rewrite & illustration. The grade for the rewrite & illustration will be separate from the written piece grade. This will help with any unsatisfactory grades. Morning classes will turn in their publishable written piece and illustration on Friday, October 21st. Afternoon classes will turn in their publishable written piece and illustration on Wednesday, October 19th. This is due to the four morning classes that have been taken up by the MEAP. Homework: READ don't forget all students have three books to read on their own and take the AR quiz on for each marking period. Time management is key, students should have at least two quizzes taken by now to be up to date.
