Wednesday, February 1

Geometry: Went over the 7.5 homework and the 7.6 notes (sine and cosine ratios, the students learned SohCahToa!). Homework is to complete the 7.6 worksheet. Chapter 7 test is on Wednesday, February 8.

Science: Investigation 13-A parts 1-4, building simple circuits and comparing insulators and conductors. We will continue this investigation tomorrow and Friday. I am hoping to have all of the midterm scores by Friday.

ELA: Students discussed valid reasons to back up their opinion. We read several articles and discussed the validity of reasons given for the arguments. We then practiced backing up arguments (whether we agreed with it or not) and then practiced with the topics we discussed yesterday. Homework: TKM journal chapters 7-9

Tech: We continued with our Moodle coursework. Students used their notetaking skills learned yesterday while viewing videos on "Career Forward" network.

Humanities: Students reviewed chapter 9 and shared current events in class. No homework. ***I will be out of the building on Thursday and Friday. Students will have work for 9.2 on Thursday and 9.3 on Friday. If students choose, they can earn rarely offered extra credit by completing chapter 9 assessment by Monday.

Pre-Algebra: We worked with negative integers.  Homework-worksheet 4.6, # 1-28 evens....skip 20 and 22.  Do #21 instead.
