Today -- more practice with note-taking, listening, and writing about what we learned during CNN students Today’s it focused on how a caucus specifically works, the Straight of Hormuz & Iran, and why Samoa changed to the other side of the International Date Line.
DEAR time -- It was asked today if students can bring in their Kindles/ Nooks for DEAR time. That is 100% fine with me however students and family's accept all liability. So a discussion should occur at home what are “best practices” regarding where to store the Kindle and how to safely transport it back and forth. I am willing to house the Kindle/Nook in my cabinets when not being used.
Social Studies -- we are beginning with the American Revolution at the point of the Boston Tea “Party”;
Notes from today and Friday’s lessons can be found on this website in the next 24 hours.
There are opportunities for extra credit and the tests are open-notebook so notes should be “transcribed” into their notebook.
Science -- metals
Homework that is due on Tuesday -- pages 14 and 15
Grammar and Vocab -- we comparing with adjectives (er, est, more, and most) and also comparing with adjectives (better, best, worse and worse)
Singing -- It was the triumphant return of Mrs. Jones; Regrettably the class remained in the “good” category regarding behavior while in class. We will continue striving to bring up our behavior to the “super” level.
Math -- more practice with multiplying and dividing with fractions.
