English w/ Mr. Rouse –
- Upcoming Tests/Quizzes- nothing.
- We’ve reached the climax of I Must Betray You. Students are having a particularly hard time not reading ahead, as this is the point where the plot really starts to pull together. Students will need their copy of Lord of the Flies by William Golding, soon.
- We continued our work on research topics, and this week, our topic was which pet is more suitable and why? (Cats and Dogs)
Math w/ Mrs. Boldrick –
- Upcoming Tests/Quizzes- none scheduled
- Students reviewed and practiced integral exponent rules on Monday and Tuesday.
- They started their test on integral exponents on Wednesday.
- Most students requested more time to complete the test, so they had Thursday and Friday to finish. I worked one-on-one with each student to ensure they understood the problems.
- Next week, we will work with order of operations problems using rational numbers.
