Friday, December 21- Happy Solstice!

Science: Tests were returned and we did a pre-test to see what we know about Energy and answered some questions about energy to analyze misconceptions. Students may turn in their lab corrections after break if they want.

Geometry: Took the chapter 6 test, work on the kitchen geometry project measurements over break.


Humanities: Students shared current events and concluded a video/discussion on the interpretive nature of the Boston Massacre. No homework. Have a wonderful break!

Spanish I: Study for the vocab quiz on 2.1 (part 2) on Friday, January 4th, Ex 7,8,& 9 on pgs 109-110 due Thursday, January 3rd

ELA - Students went through all the work that they had done thus far in Writer's Workshop and decided on the most relevant evidence to support their claim.  We discussed Organizational Structures of Essays, the students decided which structure they would use for their essay and explained why this was the best way to organize their argument. This was all written down on an exit slip that was turned in at the end of class.  If you were absent print out the directions for Day 8 and be sure you have your "Exit Slip" with you on Thursday when we return, it is an important organizational tool. Homework....the only homework you could have is if you have not kept up on your Writer's Journal entries, you should have a total of 43 entries when we return.


Course 3: Students took a short quiz on lessons 6.1 and 6.2.  No homework.
