Algebra I: Today in math students began class with a Do Now and a warm up problem.  Next, students jumped right back into chapter 4.  Students were introduced to correlation and causation and we had a semi-group discussion on the relationship between correlation and causation.  Next, we began discussing arithmetic sequences.  After some teacher led instruction and a brief discussion, students were assigned some homework from the practice workbook, pages 121-123, to be due on Tuesday in class.

Assignments: Students were then assigned some homework from the practice workbook, pages 121-123, to be due on Tuesday in class.

7th Grade Math: Today in math, students began class with the Do Now, and then working on their Flashmaster activities or the Problem of the Day.  Next, students completed their quiz on fraction operations from class on Friday.  As students were finishing up their quiz, they were completing a worksheet on proper fractions, improper fractions and mixed numbers. 

Assignments:  Review Homework #20 is due on Wednesday in class.

Science:  Today in science, students were given a block period to continue working on the "A Day in the Life" house project.  Students were assigned a partner from the opposite homeroom (Sheufelt/Olsen) and also assigned a country from around the world.  These assigned student groups, will be researching and putting together a poster product (among other final products) of what life is like for a 12/13 year old living in their assigned country.  Today, groups were producing auras using the HP Reveal application.

The Taku House will be having an Open House event tomorrow, Tuesday afternoon, November 20th. Parents and families are invited to come and sample ethnic foods and learn from our students what life may be like for children from around the world!

Assignments:  This "A Day in the Life" project is due at the end of the day on Monday November 19th.
