Week of February 19 - 22, 2013

Thursday HW
1.  MMS pages 86-87.  This work on surface area likely requires additional rough work pages to complete correctly.  The booklet doesn't leave enough space.  We completed four modelled questions today together.  A major point for students to remember is drawing diagrams of both the 3D solid and the 2D net for the solid.  That usually helps them a great deal.
2.  Creation Myth good copy is due on Monday with 8 coloured cartoon panels and accomapanying captions that tell the story of the poem we read.
3.  Book Report reading is ongoing.
*** We need just one more cereal box for a class set.

Wednesday HW
1.  Cereal box collection is ongoing.  We have 21 boxes for 24 students.

We introduced Surface Area today in Math class but did not progress to the point where I could assign homework.
We've been making use of the laptops a fair bit in recent weeks.  Here is an interesting video about music and computers.  The HAL 9000 computer also sang this number in 2001.  It has a nice retro chiptune feel to it.


Tuesday HW
1.  Math quiz on money tomorrow.
There was no homwork on Tuesday.
