8th Grade Math:  Today in math students began class with the Do Now.  Students spent today's class period grading the chapter 1 test.  We then continued our class discussion concerning the coordinate plane.  Students were introduced to two more new vocabulary words, congruent and corresponding, that they then practiced applying on the examples we worked on together in class. After some teacher led instruction and several example problems, students were assigned page 24 of their practice workbooks, to be due Friday in class.

Science:  Today in science, students began class with the Do Now.  Students were then introduced to the 30 science vocabulary words that they will be expected to memorize over the next week.  Students were given class time to finish defining the prefixes, suffixes and root words they need to commit to memory.  Once done with defining the words, students began creating flashcards to help memorize the words.  

Assignments:  Students should be memorizing the 30 vocabulary words as they will be tested on these on Wednesday November 4th.
