Tuesday, February 4

Science: Took the midterm exam!

Geometry: Investigated sine, cosine and tangent ratios. Homework is to complete practice pages 160 & 164.


C. Reading:  Logs are due 2/3/14- ALL FIVE DAYS need to be filled out in full.

R. Room Math:  Homework packets will be due 2/13/14. 


Humanities: Students had our final day of review for chapters 9/10 test in class today. Homework is to study for the test that is tomorrow.



ELA - Students continued with their Realistic Fiction Reader's Workshop with Day 6.  We learned another sign-post "Words of the Wiser" and filled out a worksheet, this worksheet should go in their portfolio.  We discussed any problems students had with last night's chapters and then they were given time to read tonight's chapters. Portfolios should be an ongoing process.  Jotting down quotes as they find them in the reading, keeping track of characters and their characteristics as they are mentioned in the book. Keeping track of theme indicators as we proceed.  I have been mentioning these during our class discussions and have pointed out how our signposts are clues to the theme or conflict...so they SHOULD be having those little "aha" moments themselves as they read.I gave more hard nosed due dates for the AR quizzes.  I will enter any quizzes the day after the due dates for this marking period.  Hoping this keeps students more on track than saying that they should be reading a book every two weeks, they can see the pacing in their grade-book through student access. Homework: Read Chapters 20-22 Journal #12



Tech - Students worked on their survey and created a bar chart to represent this survey, due tomorrow.
