Tuesday HW
1. Trickster tale planner sheet should be complete and returned to school tomorrow. We had 45 minutes in class today to work on composing it. 10 students have still not gotten it signed by a parent.
2. Geometry quiz tomorrow on Unit 7, lessons 3 and 4. Today's quiz went fairly well, however I noticed students were reluctant to use skills practiced in class -- specifically the use of tracing paper to test the stated transformations they wrote about and the use of special vocabulary highlighted in the unit study sheet they each received..
3. Spirit Day -- Beach!! -- on Thursday March 6.
4. "Carnivale" is also on Thursday March 6. It is an outdoor event. Students should dress accordingly that day, especially in view of the Beach wear they may have in the morning.
Monday HW
1. Parent signature on Trickster Tale topic sheet/organizer was requested last week to ensure parents are aware of this upcoming in-class writing assignment. Only 12 of 25 students returned it with a signature today. I won't be checking tomorrow, but it is still expected.
2. Sign and correct measurement test package for tomorrow.
3. Transformation Geometry quizzes that are upcoming:
a) Unit 7, Lessons 1 and 2 (coordinate systems and transformations) tomorrow.
b) Unit 7, Lessons 3 and 4 (congruent figures and lines of symmetry) on Wednesday, March 5.
If your student is absent due to an early holiday, these are the lessons that should be completed in time for quizzes an day after he or she returns to school.
4. We've been crafting a response to the Lego letter in class for some time. Today was our final in-class opportunity to finish a proper good copy in 6 paragraphs. It is due tomorrow in class.
