Algebra

Solving multi-step equations! Students were taught how to use multiple steps toward isolating their variable in linear equations. Homework: Lesson 3.3 Part1, page 148. Problems 10-36.

Pre-Algebra and & 7th Grade Math

The students were given assignment packets to go over the first lessons of chapter three. Most of the students had time to complete them in class.

Most of the science classes continued their work on the water cycle poster. These posters will be done by Monday - in class. 1st hour did not work on their posters today, as they had breakfast and watched Monster House with Mr. Whitmore's first hour class (celebration of our pig races!).

Today students needed to have any missing or late homework turned in for the Heat Transfer and Wind unit (we had the test last week Thursday). Earlier this week I sat with each student and told him/her what was missing. This is also posted in the back of the room continuously.

And finally, notebooks were collected from the students to grade the Atmosphere and Heat/Wind notes/homework.

Have a great few days off...enjoy the "warmer" weather...and don't stay up too late waiting for the "great pumpkin!" And as always, Make Good Choices!

Applied Math 7

Class began with a discussion about behavior during yesterday's guidance session. This class received a very poor report on behavior and there was a complete lack of respect for the guidance counselors putting on the session. Since this class cannot be trusted unless directly supervised by Ms. Francoeur, hall pass and bathroom pass privilieges have been revoked during 6th Hour. Students may individually earn these privileges back by proving that they can be truisted to make corrections on their homework.
Today we corrected Lesson 22 and practiced basic facts in addition and multiplication.

Applied Math 8

Due to the low scores from Monday's assignment (average 39%) today we reviewed mean, median, and mode. We discussed that the mean (average) should never be bigger than the largest number in a data set, the importance of putting the numbers in order from smallest to largest when finding the median (middle number), and we reviewed that the mode is the number that shows up the most.
Assignment: finish correcting Monday's assignment, and correct the packet from Tuesday. This is the only opportunity to correct Tuesday's packet.

Science 8

The last of our showcases were presented. All lab work not finished (from last week) should finally be in the basket. An extra credit microscope word-find was also passed out for extra credit. Have a safe long weekend!

Literature 8

We read chapter 12 together in class. Read chapter 13 for homework.

Social Studies 7

Continuing with the topic of Sociology, students began to read unit 4. Students also had questions to answer for the first 3 readings (this was completed in class and collected at the end of the hour).

Social Studies 8

Today students viewed a video about Canada and completed a study guide for a grade.
