Pre-Algebra: We started section 2.5. Homework: Practice 2.5 side B or C, student's choice (odds only).


Algebra: We talked today about equation solving special cases-when there is no solution, or when everything works. There is no homework tonight. We will have a short quiz on Friday covering equations and inequalities. I have attached the review that students will receive on Thursday.

Humanities: Students completed the MEAP test in the morning (congratulations!) and discussed the presidential debate, analyzed campaign ads and watched a video on English colonization in the afternoon. No homework. Current events are due Friday.

ELA - due to MEAP all morning we only met with hours 4-7 today. Students were given the opportunity to take AR quizzes, check out books, and read to complete their AR requirement for the first marking period. Please be sure that your student is writing in their journal daily at home, they should be on journal entry #32 tonight, counting all School and Home entries. Back to normal tomorrow, we will be reading another Science Fiction Short Story "Future Tense" by Robert Lipsyte. There will be a quiz on both stories read in class as well as terms related with this genre on Friday. Homework: Read! Journal #32
