ELA (Kennedy) - Yesterday you looked at your Narrative Poems again - I was out sick, sorry :( Today we charted all of the narrative poetry elements and made sure our figurative language was used within. Tomorrow we will evaluate our own poems and three other poems, it is vital that all students have a narrative poem to be evaluated with them and in their journals.Next week we will be publishing and illustrating our poems. We will only have BLACK AND WHITE printing abilities so if you want to have your illustration be digital is must be printed at home. Otherwise we can print the poems here and you may hand illustrate it with crayons or markers. All poems will be final draft form (non erasable, NO PENCIL). Homework: Poem Journal entry #1.15 and READ! Launching Day 7 attachment, Narrative Poem Structure Tool attachment

Pre-Algebra: Today we worked in the lab. We set up BuzzMath accounts and practiced on BuzzMath, IXL and the textbook eworkbook. Your student was shown how to access and log in to all of these sites. They are all available on my website. Please have your student work on these when there is no homework. http://norupstein.weebly.com/pre-algebra.html There is no homework tonight.

Algebra: Test scores should be up on Family Access by tonight. We launched chapter 3 today with a Dining Card project. We will present our results tomorrow. Homework: wkst 3.1.
