Geometry: Took the chapter 4 test, no homework! Congratulations Geometry students on a 98% Test Average!

Science: Today we planned out our next inquiry lab "Is the Force with you?". Students will begin collecting data next week so they need to come prepared with any materials they need on Monday. No homework, but students could begin working on the research portion of their lab.

Pre-Algebra: We did a mini assessment of lessons 3.1 and 3.2.  No homework.

Algebra (Hill): Homework finish the section 4.5 and 4.6 worksheet

Algebra (Graham): Finished up section 4.5. No homework... enjoy the long weekend! Our next test is scheduled for Friday, Dec. 2. Have a Happy Thanksgiving!

Language Arts: Students worked on Grammar #8 Subject Complements. We then moved on to our Writer's Workshop. I read an example of a "shareable piece" to the class and they commented on where there was a lack of detail and gave me good insightful comments on my piece. We then broke up and conferenced with our partners. NO HOMEWORK - We will finish Grammar #8 on Monday. No required journal entries required but students are encouraged to write about their Thanksgiving as it will be full of "moments" for our journal entries. Have a great Thanksgiving.

Humanities: Students finished the Geography Bee, shared current events and watched Student News in class. No homework. Have a happy Thanksgiving.
