Guided Reading/Grammar: Please bring your notebooks every day this week so we can get caught up on the grammar notes.
Advanced Math: For tomorrow, you should complete both 1.1 and 1.2.
Language Arts:
Block 1: You met with me today for a megablock (9:30-noon). During this time, you should have finished your Tic-Tac-Toe activities for sections 1-3 and finished your discussion on Studywiz. If either of these items are not completed, I expect them to be finished by tomorrow morning (snow day or not). Students who do not have their TTTs turned in by tomorrow morning will have a one-hour detention with me. For Wednesday, you should finish reading section 4, do one TTT response to that section, and be prepared for another online discussion.
Block 2: By tomorrow, you should have read the first three sections of your book. You should also have the first three tic-tac-toe responses completed. We will participate in an online discussion group using Studywiz tomorrow (for which I will give you the usernames, passwords, and instructions tomorrow). Obviously, if there is a snow day tomorrow, we will follow this same procedure on Wednesday. Take your books home tonight either way.
Social Studies: Mr. Sprain put the next map on Edmodo, and he will go over the plan for social studies with you while you are with him.

Last day of February! Where has the time gone? Please pardon the lapse in blog update these past few days. I was absent from school.
Advanced Math: Students took the summative exam for the current unit of study. You will have tomorrow to finish this test, and I will be available at 6:45 tomorrow morning to answer any questions that you may have.

Language Arts:
- By the end of LA class time tomorrow, you should have completed reading and writing the tic-tac-toe response for Sections 1 and 2. Each response needs to follow the guidelines at the top of the Tic-Tac-Toe Response direction sheet in order to be of "A" quality. On Monday, Block 1 will be in my room from 9:30-noon. We'll go over the online discussion board guidelines, read Section 3 and write Section 3 responses.
- NHD Regional Qualifiers: You may continue working on your NHD projects.
- HPL students should continue working on their HPL projects, including the theme essay that I assigned. During Language Arts and Guided Reading/Grammar, you may work on these items as well.

HAPPY SNOWY FRIDAY! Just a reminder, if you haven't yet brought in your Gmail permission slip, please do so. If you already have a Gmail account, please email me so I know this. Thanks!
Guided Reading: Please continue to bring your notebook for notes and a book for silent reading. If your notebook is one of the few that have gone missing, please bring another one for that purpose. (If you can't afford one, please talk to me. I have a couple old notebooks from previous years that you could use if you wanted.)
Advanced Math: Today was a sort of "catch up" and independent work day in math. You should have completed 3.3, 3.4, and 3.5 by now, and I also gave you a packet of practice problems which is due by the end of the class on Wednesday. I'm aiming to have the test for this unit on Friday, March 1. We'll see how it goes.
Language Arts: We'll begin another novel unit next week, but this unit will not be a whole-class novel. You will be in smaller groups and be required to work both independently and in small groups. Much of this unit will take place online using Studywiz, which very few of you are familiar with. I will train you on this of course! At any rate, if you have your own devise and have filled out the permission slip for it, please bring it at this time. The laptop cart has only 20 computers (if they all work, which sometimes they don't), and we have 25 students in each class. HPL students, once I talk with Mrs. Novak, I will have a better idea of which activities you will participate in and which ones are replaceable by your novel unit with her. You will NOT have to read another book. Whatever activities I have you do will be associated with the book that you are reading for HPL.
Social Studies/Odyssey: Some groups are getting closer to finishing your movie, but very few of you actually finished today. We will for sure have Monday, and possibly Tuesday, to record your skits. We will then begin watching the movie version. Part of the activities associated with this is to compare/contrast the movie version to the literature version that you read as a group. (This is a Language Arts Common Core standard.)
I will be gone next week on Tuesday (for technology training) and Wednesday (children's doctor appointments), so you will get to see Mr. Bergemann on these days, as he is my sub. :)
