ELA- Students continued  their study of Science Fiction with Reader's Workshop Day 1 Teaching point.  We discussed the first few chapters of the book, and enjoyed about a half hour per class period of quiet reading time.  So nice! If students "tested out" of reading The Giver they should divide their book up into 8 equal sections so that they have a goal number of pages per day and are finished reading by October 21st.  FYI: There will be a project due on October 28th. Homework: At least up to Chapters 1-4 due for Monday but you may continue reading as far as you can!

Pre-Algebra: Today we had a "Slate Review" of mixed number operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication and division). Homework: Review homework sheets and 4-square in preparation for Mixed Number Operations Quiz, 2nd Hour -  Quiz Monday, 3rd Hour - Quiz Wednesday. The attached pages (Add/Subtract Mixed #'s and Multiply/Divide Mixed #'s) are great review and have plenty of examples of problems similar to those you will see on the quiz.
