Wednesday Feburary 1, 2012

8th Grade Math:  Today in math students began class with the problem of the day.  Next, students jumped back into chapter four.  We reviewed the rules for dealing with multiplying and dividing exponents as well as zero and negative exponents, before students graded their homework from last night.  We then began scientific notation.  Students were introduced to standard form, product form and scientific notation form.  We practiced various problems through all three forms introduced. 

Assignments:    Review homework #5 is due on Friday. 

7th Grade Math:  Today in math students began class by using their flashmasters.  Next, students jumped back into chapter four.  We reviewed LCDs and graded the homework from Tuesday night.  Next, students filled out a math goals sheet for the remainder of the school year.  Students ended class by working on a simplifying fractions worksheet.

Assignments:   Review homework #5 is due on Friday.  Students should be completing the simplifying fractions worksheet for Thursday if they did not finish in the class time provided.

Science:  Today in science, students continued working with the periodic table.  Today, students began class with a Do Now, before being introduced to the next activity, Bonding with a Classmate part II.  Students then spent the rest of class bonding with classmates during this structured activity.

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.
