Wednesday HW
1. In Math today we wrote the quiz. The text activities on pages 94-95, #1, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8 are homework to complete. I know some parents have asked that the text be brought home, but please remember to return this heavy textbook to school tomorrow -- I have no extra copies. If your child was absent today, this is the work we did.
2. 20 minutes of reading. Book Report is due on Thursday December 7 (next week).
3. "Bag2School" Green Team textile campaign -- bring in items on November 29 -- it is a one day drive. Students received an informational postcard this week explaining the particulars.
4. Math Quiz part 2 tomorrow: Unit 3, Lesson 4 (Constructing Figures).
5. Finish page 12 of the Social Studies Booklet. It is due in class tomorrow. We worked on it today and most students were already done. If you leave the booklet at home you will be unprepared for our next class. Ensure there are no gaps in the pages 1 to 11 as we head towards the end of term one.
Tuesday HW
1. In Math today we continued to work on "Constructing Figures". About half of the students are having moderate difficulty manipulating the compass. I have modeled the technique over several classes now. It just takes some extra time to develop the fine motor coordination to keep it steady. We continued practicing with text activities on pages 94-95, # 1, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8 tomorrow after corrections. If your child was absent today, this is the work we did.
2. 20 minutes of reading. Book Report is due on Thursday December 7 (next week).
3. Geometry quiz on Wednesday, November 29. Students can use their homework book (MMS) "Quick Review" notes for each lesson as well as the notes we prepared in class on polygons and types of angles to study. The quiz covers Unit 3, Lessons 1 and 2.
4. "Bag2School" Green Team textile campaign -- bring in items on November 29 -- it is a one day drive. Students received an informational postcard this week explaining the particulars.
** I had one student come in for extra help this afternoon at my scheduled time.
Monday HW
1. In Math today we worked for one hour on "Constructing Figures". The main new information today was how to design an accurate drawing of a parallelogram using supplied conditions (such as side lengths and angle measures) and adding labeling. These ideas will be applied in tonight's MMS practice on pages 38-39, which is due in class tomorrow.
We will continue practicing with text activities on pages 94-95, # 3, 4, 5, 7, 8 tomorrow after corrections. If your child was absent today, this is the work we did.
