Science: Today students watched a PBS video on hydraulic fracturing and had a chance to do some additional research on their topic (Nuclear Energy or Hydraulic Fracturing). Tomorrow we will have a silent debate so that students can practice using what they've learned about these topics. When we return from break in January students must have 4 articles on their topic to use in language arts. These articles should be from a variety of sources and cover multiple points of view. 

Geometry:Took our triangle congruence test.

C/Reading Reminder, for those students who did not turn in a reading log this week, you have to do them over vacation (two of them).  Please continue reading even if you did not get a reading log to do.

RR Math Study multiplication facts.  I will assign another official homework packet after vacation.

5th and 6th HR LRC:: Please remember we are having a holiday party this Friday.  If you are in 5th hour, please bring a treat or drinks/cups- enough for 10 people.  If you are in 6th hour, please bring a treat or drinks/cups- enough for 13 people.  I will be providing a cookie decorating station.  It should be a fun time!

Spanish (Tomlinson):  1.3 Chapter walk due tomorrow

Humanities: Students continued to present projects in class today. No homework.

ELA - Students read and took notes on one of their sources, they then "taught" the information to another student for Day 4 of Reader's Workshop. Homework: READ! Journal entry #37
