Wednesday, November 16

Science: Took the Unit 2 quiz, no homework!

Geometry: Went over teh 4.6 homework and took notes on 4.7 (Isosceles & Equilateral Triangles). 4.7 worksheet is homework. Chapter 4 test is Tuesday, November 22.

Language Arts: Students worked on a Grammar worksheet on Simple Subjects and Predicates, if it was not completed in class it is homework. We then continued our Launching of Writer's Workshop. I read an excerpt from Me Talk Pretty One Day by David Sedaris (if you have read this I edited it) and then discussed hopes and regrets. Students then wrote about their own hopes and regrets in their Writer's Journal. Tonight's journal entry can either be a continuation of the entry started in class or another topic all together. Either way they must write tonight as well. Homework: Grammar Lesson 2 - Simple Subjects & Predicates. Write in Writer's Journal. Read AR book.
