8th Grade Math:  Today in pre-algebra, students began class with the POD.  We then transitioned back into chapter 10 and continued working with parallelograms and trapezoids.  Students were given about 20 minutes of class time to work on the section 10.3 worksheet, before we moved into section 10.4 on the circumference and area of circles. 

Assignments:     Review homework #18 is due on Wednesday.
 
7th Grade Math:  Today in math, students began class with their flashmasters.  Next, we transitioned back into chapter 6, and began reviewing the rules associated with integers.  After some basic review, students were introduced to several new properties and practiced identifying those new properties through examples.  Next, we transitioned into section 6.7 on the distributive property.  Mr. Olsen led student through the rules associated with the distributive property and led students through several examples.
  
Assignments:  Review homework #18 is due on Wednesday.  

Science:  Today in science, students began class with the Do Now.  Next, we reviewed what makes a n effective presentation, and students were shown examples of poor powerpoint presentations, and given suggestions on how to make their presentation effective and successful.  Students were then given class time to work with their partners and continue building their presentations on their assigned planet. 

Assignments:     Students should be continuing to build their powerpoint presentations on their assigned planet.

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.
