Friday, January 27

Science: Went over the midterm review and the study guide (both of which were posted on Wednesday). Homework is to study for the midterm on Monday!

Geometry: Went over the 7.3 worksheet and encouraged students to remember to at least TRY every problem. I am concerned that students don't look back to the notes that we took on a section (or the section in their book) to help them figure out how to solve problems. All problems on the homework have an example in the notes that will at least help get you started! We then completed the 7.4 notes (special right triangles), 7.4 worksheet FRONT SIDE ONLY is homework. Students were also encouraged to come in at lunch and work on the homework or come in early if they ever have difficulty and want help. ***Reminder, kitchen geometry project is due on Monday.

Humanities: Students reviewed the Constitution and began to work on two Constitution worksheets in class. Constitution worksheets are due Monday.
