8th Grade Math:  Today in math students began class with the Do Now.  Students spent today's class period by learning about tessellations.  Students continued working with the concept of tessellations and students spent about 20 minutes working on activity 2 in their practice workbooks.  Students were then asked to create their own tessellation and bring it into class on Wednesday.

Assignments:  Review HW #18 is due Wednesday in class.  Students should be bringing in their own tessellation to class on Wednesday.

7th Grade Math:  Today in math students began class with the Do Now.  Students continued to work with chapter 2 and Transformations.  We then jumped into section 7 of chapter 2 on dilations within the coordinate plane.  Students reviewed the different transformations we have covered thus far in chapter 2, before we began a conversation about enlarging or shrinking an image within the coordinate plane.  Students then were given class time to begin working on activity 3 on page 47 of the practice workbook.  Page 48 of the workbook is due Wednesday in class.  
 
Assignments:  Review HW #18 is due Wednesday in class.  Page 48 of the workbook is due Wednesday in class. 

Science:  Today in science, students began class with the Do Now.  Students were then given class time to continue reviewing their 30 vocabulary words all students have to commit to memory for the vocabulary test scheduled for Wednesday this week.  The class then participated in a review activity called Slap Happy, where students competed in groups of 3 or 4 to collect the most words in a given amount of time.  The winner of each table group will receive an extra credit point on the test on Wednesday. 

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