Humanities: Students checked Constitution work from Friday, turned in homework folders and worked on chapter 1 pre-test in class. Homework is to use the text to finish the pre-test if it is not complete. Current events are due Friday.

Geometry: Went over the answers to the practice test and discussed tomorrow's test. Homework is to complete the odds of the chapter review (pages 60-63) and be sure to check answers in the back of the book. Test #1 tomorrow!

Pre-Algebra: We had a fire drill today that ate up some of our class time... we took a Fractions Review Quiz. Homework: Data Display Review. Students are asked to put data in a Stem and Leaf Plot and a Box and Whisker Plot. I have attached the homework.

Algebra: We went over that tough Sudoku puzzle I assigned on Friday. Thank you to those who worked hard on that! We took notes on section 2.2. Homework: Practice B or C (student's choice). If B, do problems (2-24 evens, 25-27); if C, do problems (2-20 evens, 21-23). There will be a quiz this Friday covering sections 2.1-2.3.

Course 3: We reviewed for our chapter 1 test tomorrow.  If students need more practice, there is a practice test on page 49 in the textbook.

Science: We completed the jigsaw note-taking for pages 6, 8, 9, 11 & 12 and discussed the notes. Homework is to complete the scientific processes worksheet on a separate sheet of paper using the guidelines discussed for great short answers (Give a complete answer, use a complete sentence, repeat key words from the question, be specific, don't leave your reader guessing). We also did the first binder check today, many students do not have their binders organized according to the requirements on the course syllabus. This is part of the participation grade.

ELA - Students received Vocab List #2 (attached), Dictionary Definitions and parts of speech are due tomorrow. We started our Writer's Workshop Writing Unit. Students took notes in their Writer's Notebook (entry #10), they analyzed a few poems from teenink.com and used an anchor chart to chart out the topic, narrative elements, and feelings evoked from each poem. Directions for those absent attached. Homework: READ! Vocab definitions and Journal Entry #11

Spanish I: No homework, except study for 1.1 quiz on Mon Oct 1st
