What did we do in class today?
Math: Today students are comparing linear and nonlinear functions. They will go to Desmos online graphing calculators, plug in equations, and record whether they are linear or not. Students will then observe patterns noting when equations are linear and when equations are non linear. ANNOUNCEMENT: Students received grade sheets today.
ELA: Today students worked on examining This I Believe essays and writing their own This I Believe essay in their writing journal; we are practicing making personal connections in our writing so that we can do so in our argumentative essays coming up. Students edited their own writings and their exit pass was to describe one edit they made to their writing and why.
ELA (Mrs. Brown):Today was library day!
Social Studies:Students are working on their projects this week! All about Western Expansion!
