Friday, April 13

Geometry: Today we went over the practice test and talked about the importance of showing our work so that we can get partial credit on problems. I'll never make students show their work, but if they have incorrect answers on the test with no work shown I can not give them ANY credit for the problem, and many questions are worth 4-5 points. Homework is to complete the chapter 11 review odds. Chapter 11 test is Monday.

Science: Today we took notes on pages 441-445 via the jigsaw method. Homework is to complete the wave interaction worksheet (sorry, I do not have an electronic version to post). Wave unit quiz is Wednesday, April 18.

Pre-Algebra: Today we worked on scale.  Homework is worksheet 6.6, #2-24 evens and 25 and 26.

Algebra (Graham): Homework: 10.2 worksheets (odds only) and IB box problem. Both are due on Monday. Have a good weekend.

Technology (Graham): We are still presenting our family budgets.

Humanities: Students worked on 15.1/15.2, watched student news and were introduced to a video on the causes of the Civil War in class. Homework is to finish 15.1/15.2 for Monday.
