What Did We Do in Class Today? Was Homework Assigned?
SCIENCE: Today students will continue to review for the district benchmark tomorrow and Thursday. They will be completing a scientific inquiry lab write up about Minecraft mining for diamonds and then will be reviewing using Kahoot.
ELA(Mrs. Goodwin and Ms. Nielsen): Today students are beginning their informative projects in lieu of an informative essay. Students were able to either choose a partner to work with or work independently. Today students identified a topic and explained what they knew and wanted to know about that topic. We then had a mini-lesson over research questions, developed research questions, and some students began researching using teacher-approved search engines (listed on eCampus).
ELA (Mrs. Brown): Today was library day. Students were assigned pages to read in their library book for Thursday, conferring day.
MATH (Mrs. Boyd and Mr. Powell-Deppe): Today students will test over Unit 4. The material will cover straight angles, interior angles of triangles, exterior angles of triangles, and angles created when parallel lines are cut by transversals.
SOCIAL STUDIES: Students are learning about the constitution and what it took to create it. How do we change it? What would they change.
