Parents: We are currently having a pie ingredient drive, helping to gather pumpkin filling, evaporated milk, and deep-dish premade pie crusts. Mrs. Binkis is making pies to be donated to the Community Thanksgiving Dinner. Any donations of these items would be greatly appreciated! Thanks...
Advanced Math: Students started 2.2 today, discussing strategies for finding lengths of line segments. Due to a fire drill, we did not get a chance to finish 2.2. This is where we will start tomorrow. No homework.
Language Arts: My student teacher, Mr. Bergemann, continued the discussion on sound devices within poetry. Students were assigned to write a "credo poem," which is due at the beginning of class tomorrow. The directions and examples for this assignment are posted on Edmodo, but students can handwrite the poem if they so choose.
Also, we have a walking field trip to the Main Library this Friday. I handed out library card enrollment forms to students today. On Friday, I will give the librarians any completed enrollment forms, and once the cards are ready, I will pick them up from the library and distribute them to students. Having a library card will come in handy as the ball gets rolling with the National History Day project, which students will be spending some of their Language Arts and Social Studies time working on.
Social Studies: The girls were in my room, and we continued our discussion on NHD. They were given a handout that should help guide their research and solidify their topic choice. Tomorrow I will show students some of the options for online research that will be helpful.
