Pre-Algebra

We reviewed and corrected Lesson 23 from yesterday.
Today's lesson (lesson 24) was about how to write mixed numbers and whole numbers as fractions.
Assignment: Complete the Lesson 24 worksheet (due tomorrow)
Also, remember, tomorrow is the last day of the quarter. Any missing work not submitted, regardless of the date it was assigned, becomes a zero.

Science 7

Today the 7th grade began their WKCE testing. There were not any new assignments given today, as not every class met. On Monday they were given a tic-tac-toe worksheet related to 2.4. To see the instructions, please look at the older post.
These assignments will be due on Friday.

Applied Math 8

Today was the Chapter 2 Mid-Chapter Test. Most students completed this in about half the class period. The rest of class time was given for making up late work, which will turn to zeros tomorrow if not submitted.

Langauge Arts - 8 (11/3-11/7)

This week in language arts, we have vocabulary centered around the theme of dialect. The packet is due Wednesday with a quiz on Thursday.

We have also started working on an expository essay unit. By Wednesday, a topic should be chosen and then Thursday we will work on developing a thesis statement. We are also reviewing all the parts of a standard essay and working on effective attention getters, orders, formulas, and final thoughts. By Friday, outlines will be distributed to allow independent work at home.

Social Studies 8

Today was the Canada Map Quiz and the Chapter 6 note check. A reminder to parents, notes must be COMPLETE for students to receive a 100. There is no excuse for not having study guides filled in completely as we do go over them in class together. Students whose study guides were not complete or were missing part or all of their notes will recieve a zero. It is unfortunate that this will bring down some quarter grades, but we are 6 chapters into the semester - it's time to participate.
As a class we reviewed for the Canada Test which is tomorrow. Students were given the essay questions that will be on the test and these questions were discussed together today.
Assignment: study for the Chapter 6 (Canada) test tomorrow.
