8th Grade Math: Today in math students began class with their flashmasters. Next, we jumped back into section 4 of chapter 3.

We also practiced developing inequality equations just by looking at a number line with a graphed solution.
Assignments: Study Island Review Homework #31 is due by the end of the day on Wednesday.
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.
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.
