Happy FREEZING Tuesday! My fingers are turning to icicles as I type this. Anyone else tired of Old Man Winter?
Advanced Math: For tomorrow, you need to complete Investigation 2.2 and BE READY FOR A QUIZ!
Language Arts: Novel project due Friday! Those of you with missing work have permanent detention after school until you are caught up.
Social Studies: Study the map Mr. Sprain posted on Edmodo.
In other news:
- Tomorrow is the LAST day for the Student Council change drive. If we raise at least $500, Mr. Check will be taped to the gym wall. If we raise $1000, we will have a school-wide pizza party.
- Tomorrow's dress-up day for Spirit Week is SUPER HERO DAY. Dress up like your favorite super hero.
Happy Monday! Just a reminder that there is NO SCHOOL next week. Until then, we have plenty to do, of course!
- Tomorrow's dress-up day for Spirit Week is Sports Day. Dress up like your favorite athlete or by wearing your favorite jersey.
- Also, we have two more days left for the change drive. Bring in your spare change--pennies, dimes, nickels, quarters, half dollars, silver dollars, paper money, etc.
- One last note, due to the large group choir contest, TOMORROW we are not having megablocks. This means that you will have Block 1 from 9:30-10:45 and Block 2 from 10:45-12:00.
Grammar/Guided Reading: Please bring your notebooks and novels tomorrow. We will have some notes and then have 30 minutes of silent reading.
Advanced Math: Your assignment for tomorrow is 2.1 and ACE questions 2-4 (Page 28).
Language Arts: Block 1 was introduced to the novel project, which is due before you leave for spring break. The guidelines are on Studywiz and Edmodo. Block 2 may get a head start on these if they wish. I will be explaining this in more detail tomorrow in class.
Social Studies: Be sure to study that map that Mr. Sprain put on Edmodo.
Advanced Math: No new homework
Language Arts: EVERYONE should be finished with their books. ALL tic-tac-toe responses should be handed in by now, and all discussion board responses should be complete. To break this down, see the below list:
**LA Written Requirements--Handed in to Mrs. J:6 tic-tac-toe responses: Each one must be at least 7 sentences, with textual evidence quoted within your response (and page numbers where you found the quoted information included). These can be typed, but what you type online DOES NOT count. Anyone who is missing these things by Monday can expect to stay after school every day until caught up.
**LA Online Discussion Requirements--Completed via Studywiz:
- 6 TTT summaries--For this, you had to briefly (2-3 sentences) summarize your responses that you handed in to me. You should include textual evidence.
- 1 character reflection--For this, you had to describe one character's personality and then give textual evidence to support that personality. (For example, if you say a main character is shy, you tell what he says or does that shows shyness.)
- Thoughtful Question--For this, you had to pose a thought-provoking question from the book. For example, if the characters from your book were real and right in front of you, what are some questions you might ask them? The question should generate discussion from your group members.
- New Ending--For this, you need to explain how you would like the story to end or, if you liked the ending, how it COULD have ended.
- Responses to ALL of the above--You need to respond to every group member's responses to the above items. Obviously, if you are way behind due to not using class time wisely, this is quite a challenging task! I will be grading these on Monday, so whatever is in on Monday is what I will grade.
Social Studies: Mr. Sprain put a map on Edmodo that needs to be studied for that particular assessment. We will be jumping into some new things for Social Studies next week, so please be prepared.
