Friday, December 20

Science: Student's participated in a "search for the truth" silent debate on their topic (nuclear energy or hydraulic fracturing). This exercise required them to argue from an assigned point of view (not necessarily the one they agree with) by using the information they have learned while researching this past week. I think they surprised themselves with how much they know! If students have already found and printed  4 articles from multiple points of view on their topic then they have no homework over break!

Geometry: Began our unit on similarity by investigating dilation using GeoGebra's free software. Homework is to complete Drawing Dilations, page 133-136 in our Properties of Dilations packet.

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.

Humanities: Students finished presenting projects in class today. No homework. Have a wonderful break!

Spanish II: Study the vocab sheets passed out today. The 4.2 vocab quiz will be on Mon Jan 6th. The 4.3 vocab quiz will be two weeks later. ¡Felices fiestas! 4.2 worksheet due Jan. 2.

French I: Study the purple words on pg 101 for a vocab quiz on Mon, Jan 6th. The 3.1 worksheet is due Jan. 2.

Pre-Algebra: Today we had a bracket tournament of math games on the iPads (Make 24 and Slide 1000) that reviewed a variety of skills. These are free apps that can be downloaded at home for extra practice, as well. Have a safe and fun break! See you in 2014!

HAVE A WONDERFUL VACATION AND HAPPY NEW YEAR!!  

See everyone in 2014!
