Science: Students were given an opportunity to go over their tests from yesterday. We also completed a multiple intelligence inventory. Labs will be passed back at conferences tonight and tomorrow or in school on Friday.
Geometry: Went over 3.2 & 3.3 homework as well as the 3.3 notes. Began notes on section 3.4. Homework is 3.4 worksheet, #1-6, 22-24 & 28-30. Chapter 3 quiz is tomorrow.
Language Arts: Chapters 16-19 class discussion was very animated. Students are loving this book. Quiz times are staggered due to half days and the Halloween Parade. * Hours 1 and 2 will take their quiz tomorrow. * Hours 5 and 7 MIGHT take their quiz on Friday, therefore should be prepared to take the quiz if we have time, if not they should review the information Sunday evening in preparation for Monday . * Monday will be the definite day for 6th hour (as I will most likely not see them at all on Friday). Did you follow that? I'm not sure I did :) Please go over this with your student so they understand the craziness. Regardless of the date of taking the quiz, this quiz will be the first grade in the new marking period. The final chapter section is due next week. Thursday. Looking forward to seeing parents at conferences.
Art 7/8: We are starting a unit on Andy Warhol . Students will be participating in a "photo tinting" assignment. I will be taking black and white photos of all students. I will enlarge these to 8" x 10" photos. Then students will add color to their own photo by adding oil pastels.
Advanced Art grade 8: All "flower puns" have been completed and graded. We have now moved on to the "shattered values" project. Most students have chosen a subject and started basic line drawings. I demonstrated the "grid transfer" technique yesterday in class. Some students have started transferring their smaller drawings onto larger drawing paper.
Pre-Algebra: We talked about distributive property and simplifying expressions. Homework-worksheet 2.3, #11 - 14, 22 - 24.
Algebra (Hill): Chapter 3 Test Today , No Home Work
Algebra (Graham): Stayed with section 6.4 today. Their homework is a worksheet practicing the concepts from 6.4. Hope to see you all tonight!
