Assignments: Students were asked to bring in a snack that is a carbohydrate, lipid or protein for a lab in class tomorrow.
FYI: Parents! Starting on Monday (10/22, the first day of the second quarter), teachers in the Aurora house will no longer accept late work from our students. Students will get credit for the work they do, when it is due.
Assignments: Study Island Review Homework #29 is due by the end of the day on Wednesday.
8th Grade Math: Today in math students began class with their flashmasters. Next, we jumped back into section 4 of chapter 3. Students continued working on solving and graphing solutions to inequalities. Today we worked on solving inequalities using addition and subtraction, and graphing the solutions on number lines.

7th Grade Math: Today in math students began class with the problem of the day. Next, we reviewed ratios and proportions, before starting a lesson on basic geometry concepts. Students were introduced to several new vocabulary words related to geometric shapes, including lines, points, rays and segments. We talked about angles, and similar and congruent shapes and segments.
Assignments: Study Island Review Homework #29 is due by the end of the day on Wednesday.
8th Grade Math: Today in math students began class with their flashmasters. Next, we jumped back into section 4 of chapter 3. Students discussed the different inequality symbols, and when and how to use each, before we practiced building inequalities out of word problems. We also practiced developing inequality equations just by looking at a number line with a graphed solution.

Science: Today in science, students began class with the Do Now. Today, students participated in a basic microscope lab, where students discussed the differences between simple and compound microscopes and were then given the opportunity to look at cells of different organisms through simple and compound microscopes.
Assignments: None.
