Science: Went over the Mass vs. Weight worksheet and had a conversation about perserverance and the importance of taking the time to read over examples and apply what we've learned to a new situation. Took notes on Speed vs. Time graphs and connected those notes to the data we collected on Friday. Unit 2 quiz is tomorrow, students are allowed to use notes & worksheets from this unit to help them on the quiz, but that doesn't mean they shouldn't study! The use of notes & worksheets is only helpful if students are familiar with and understand the information.
Geometry: Went over the 4.6 notes (Using corresponding parts of congruent triangles) and quizzes were returned. 4.6 worksheet is homework. Chapter 4 test is Tuesday, November 22.
Language Arts: Students handed in their Grammar Homework sheet. We then began our Writer's Workshop by talking about the Goals, and how to Launch an Essay. Students are to bring their Writer's Notebook to and from class/home each day. Every night students are to set aside some time to write. This is homework every night. This writing is not formal, it is "moment gathering" or "topic gathering" for later formal writing. Attached are the goals we discussed today and the strategies we discussed. These should both be written down in your student's Writer's Journal as well. Happy Writing! Homework: Read and Write!
