Geometry: Went over the 3.6 worksheet (students need to remember to use EVERYTHING they have learned in a chapter to figure out how to solve problems sometimes, we're working on having a more zen-like attitude towards mathematics) & practiced constructions (big deep breath in, deep breath out). The practice test is homework. Chapter 3 test is Friday.
Science: Completed investigation 2-A (The Law of Inertia) by seeing how mass affects speed on a downhill compared to the flat track.
Humanities: Students shared current events, completed atlas work and finished taking notes on a video on the English colonies. Homework is to complete atlas work.
Language Arts: Students wrote for 20 minutes "stream of consciousness" on one of the three topics:
1 - What is one goal or hope you have for the future? Explain why it is important to you.
2 - Write about a superstition you believe in. Explain why you believe in it.
3 - Your topic.
We then worked on our sentence structure in our Grammar unit. Homework: READ! Completed Journal for The Giver is due Thursday, November 10th. Final Test for The Giver and Vocabulary lists #4-#7 Thursday, November 10th
Algebra (Hill): Today we reviewed how to solve inequalities that include an absolute value.
Algebra (Graham): Test over sections 6.4, 6.5, 6.6 tomorrow. We have reviewed for 2 days in class and with some work tonight we will all be ready! I have attached the review (same as yesterday's). We gave out the answers today in class. As always, I am available before school and during lunch.
Pre-Algebra: Students were given a review packet today. It is all due tomorrow.
