Grammar:

Today's grammar focus was on verbs, including helping verbs. We constructed our own simple sentences and identified the subject and verb of each.

Math:

Today in math, we continued our study of linear relationships. Groups finished their Investigation 1.1, and plotted their information on a class graph. We discussed the factors that might have changed the data that different groups ended up with.

For tomorrow, the assignment is to write a math journal response: (Feel free to email me for the code if you forgot to write it down.) Describe the process that your group went about Investigation 1.1. What were the roles people played in the process? What was your role? What problems did your group encounter, or what surprises were there? If you had to do this experiment over, what would you change and why?

Language Arts:

We started out the day with an online survey that focused on how writers make their writing powerful. Then we reviewed the “Six Traits” of writing via a group project.

Social Studies:

In Social Studies, we reviewed the five themes of geography as a large group.

Reminder: You need to interview an adult about their 9/11 experience and be prepared to share it with a small group on 9/11.
