Social Studies 8

We finished Chapter 3 (hooray!).

Assignment: Section 5 packet - due Monday

Since Ms. Francoeur will be attending conferences Monday and Tuesday next week, we discussed the expectations for behavior when a substitute teacher is present. Students were also informed of the work they can expect. On Monday, students will be given the study guide for the test. They will have all hour to work on it, and are expected to use their time to STUDY rather than visit. Students will be allowed to use their study guides on the Chapter 3 Test which will be on Tuesday.

Pre-Algebra

Applied Math

Lesson 51- Unit Price

Tests were handed back with the option to correct for those students who received a failing grade.

Since there has been a continuing trend of students not studying for math tests, rather waiting until the test to ask questions about how to solve problems they do not understand, a few changes to Math Tests are being made. Today marks the last day students will be able to make corrections to a test or quiz in Applied Math. Students will still be given study guides that they will be able to use on the tests, so it would benefit students to use these study guides not only as a practice test, but as a place to note explanations for solutions.

Today's Assignment: due Friday- As a review, students are to explain the process (steps) in solving and solve all practice problems for Lessons 41 (p.188) through 51.
