Homework 9/12
Math: L2.1 IP p. 35-36 Greatest Common Factor. (Remember, we correct the HW after the 2nd day of lessons... we didn't finish today, so we have 1 more day and THEN you can do the HW. It may be a little tough to do without the lesson being finished... although, you can try!)
Students will need to be proficient in their multiplication facts to have the next 2 lessons go more smoothly. I don't expressly teach multiplication facts and impressed upon the students the need to practice them nightly if they struggle - they can see me if they need help getting started with flashcards or here is a good website with quizzes: http://www.multiplication.com/quiz/multiplication-self-correcting-quizzes
Salsa!: GOLD finished the rough draft and their final draft is due Wednesday, typed or hand written in pencil. GREEN did not finish so they have nothing due yet. I will keep you posted.
Science: Vocabulary Word Play - Crossword Puzzles. We will be learning various strategies for practicing our vocabulary over the next few weeks so that the kids can eventually have a bank of choices to choose from for each new unit's vocabulary words. Due tomorrow if not finished in class - they were given LOTS of time.
Lab Report: Both cores finished and their rough draft is due Wednesday, typed or hand written in blue or black ink. Points given for turning it in, I will give suggestions for improvement for the next lab report without deducting points.
PE GREEN: The holiday schedule last week caused our PE groups to be off. We have corrected that today and GREEN had PE. I did not mark anyone down who didn't have their uniform :) They played kickball - it was COLD!!!
I pulled students who will be our Classroom Managers and Banker. I explained thier rolls and instructed them on how to interview others for the various classroom jobs. They will begin interviews Teusday and Wednesday.
Managers: GOLD - Zack & Nadia. GREEN - Luca & Madison.
Bankers: GOLD - Olivia A. (back up - Brandon) GREEN - Diego (back up - Eerav)
