Thursday, September 24

Science: Students analyzed stories and various graphs, working together to pair up graphs of motion with a story that would logically go with the graph and then compared their matches with other groups and explained their reasoning as a class. This will help with our last part of the unit, graphs of motion, which we will begin next week.

Geometry: Continued our frustration with proofs (don't worry, this is normal at the beginning!) with the Proofs about Segments and Angles handout. Whatever wasn't finished in class is homework.

RR English: Reading logs are due Monday. All five days- follow what each response asks you to do so you can earn full points!

RR Math: Purple group, finish your workbook pages from today if you did not finish them in class- due Monday. All groups- please continue to work on your math packets and X facts!

Algebra:  We finished up our launch activity, handed in last night's homework, and we went over our first Chapter Test.  No homework.

Humanities: Students reviewed 1.3, and worked on 1.4, section assessment in class. Homework is to complete 1.4 section assessment (if students worked in class, they should have finished this already) and to complete a current event for Monday (they have known about this since this past Monday).

French 2: Passé composé quiz on Thursday Oct 2nd: in a sentence format with a word bank

Pre-Algebra: What We Did Today: Today we practiced story problems and shared/compared different strategies. Homework: Please check Skyward for any missing assignments. If you have none, check out BuzzMath or Math IXL. Both can be found at http://norupstein.weebly.com/pre-algebra.html Enjoy the holiday weekend! :)

Chinese: Please check the Chinese blog. We have homework.

ELA - Writer's Workshop Day 8 - Students worked on their poems in Peer Response Groups. All read at least 4 poems and responded. We then worked on making sure all elements of narrative poetry was included in each poem. If you are not satisfied with your poem, re-write it over the weekend. We will be publishing and illustrating our poems. If you want your illustration to be printed, you must do it at home or find another way. We will only have access to a black and white printer. Hand illustrations are always accepted. Final draft form means not erasable and full of color. Homework: Have your poem ready to publish, READ! Have a Happy Rosh Hashanah!
