Tuesday, February 14

Science:  Students used the jigsaw method to take notes on pages 318-320 & 323-325 (series & parallel circuits). Quiz tomorrow!

Geometry: Went over the 8.2 worksheet and completed teh 8.3 notes (proving quadrilaterals are parallelograms). 8.3 worksheet is homework. 8.1-8.4 quiz on Thursday.

Humanities: Students took chapter 10 test in class today. No homework. I will be attending a conference at Oakland Schools tomorrow. If you have any questions, I will be returning on Thursday, February 16, 2012.

Spanish I: Ex 16 and 17 pg 136. Due tomorrow

ELA: Students began making note cards for their Persuasive Research paper. The COW worked well for us and we got some great information to back up our opinions. For a good solid argument I am expecting students to have 12-20 note cards for their project. Homework: TKM Chapters 13-15 and packet due Thursday. Friday quiz is chapters 10-15 (two weeks worth of chapters and vocabulary). FYI: I am still open at lunch for students to use the listening stations, I have only had two days with students taking advantage of this opportunity.

Tech (Kennedy): Moodle assignment M1P1 Technology Essay was due today. We began reviewing basic Technology terminology and the chart for M1P2 is due tomorrow.

Algebra (Graham): We spent the hour going over 8.1 and 8.2. Our homework is 8.2 (evens). Also, I gave them a half sheet of challenge problems to do. This is tough stuff. Students are going to need to spend time on this!
