Tuesday, April 1

Science: Took notes on wave properties and speed of waves.

Geometry: Took the circles & centers of triangles test. Homework is to complete example 1- equation of a circle. 

C. Reading:  Read-  no log this week or over vacation.  However, two students have a log due tomorrow!!

R. Room Math:  We are reviewing this week.  No homework packets will be handed out.  Everyone should keep working on their X fluency.  Also, the purple group will be given a take home test today.  The test is due Friday- no exceptions.  No work shown on the test=no credit.  No calculators! 



ELA - Students continued with their Historical Fiction Reader's Workshop with Day 2 teaching point and active engagement.  Please follow the schedule of the chosen novel. Homework: READ, and Journal #4

Technology - Kennedy - Today we took our baseline touch typing test, lights off, no looking at hands.  We then continued with our TypingWeb.com lessons to reinforce the skills taught in previous years.


Pre-Algebra: Today students discover the Pythagorean Theorem using a visual representation of the theorem. We discovered that, in a right triangle, the square of a leg (a) plus the square of the other leg (b) equals the square of the hypotenuse (c). Students then used the Pythagorean Theorem to solve problems in which they needed to find the length a missing side of a right triangle. HW: Complete the blue ISN examples (all 8) using the Pythagorean Theorem


Algebra - Chapter 9 test tomorrow!  Attached are answers to the review stations,  pre-test warmup and practice test.  Good luck!

Spanish II: Chapter test on Thursday. Today's worksheet is due on Thursday.


French I: Practice quizzes tomorrow, and the real quizzes on Thursday. The 6.2/6.3 worksheet is due after the break.
