8th Grade Math:  Today in math students began class with the problem of the day.  Next, students jumped back into chapter 3.  We graded the 3.2 worksheet that was homework before transitioning into section 3.3 and solving equations with variables on both sides of the equal sign.  Mr. Olsen led students through the rules associated with solving these equations and proceeded to lead students through several example problems. 

Assignments:   Review Homework #21 is due Friday. 

7th Grade Math:  Today in math students began class by using their flashmasters.  Next, students jumped back into chapter 3.  Next, we graded the 3.3 worksheet before beginning our talk about box and whisker plots.  Mr. Olsen introduced the key vocabulary words students will need to understand to work with these plots, and led students through several working examples to end class. 

Assignments:    Review Homework #21 is due Friday. 

Science:  Today in science, students completed the Think, Write, Pair-Share activity that was begun yesterday.  We then watched a film on Making Stuff Cleaner.  Students were handed a notetaking guide to fill out throughout the film and along the way, Mr. Olsen would stop the film and lead the groups in conversations about certain concepts and topics.

Assignments:  None.

FYI:  Parents!  Starting on Monday (10/31, 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.
