MATH: Started Chp. 8. Taught concepts 8-1, 8-2, and 8-3. We did p.461 #6-10 in class. Homework was p.465 #1-20. We worked on this for an hour as I made the rounds and helped all those who were struggling. I think everyone got done in class today. Tomorrow we will do 8-4 where we take the LCD (that we learned about today) and use it to convert fractions to have like denominators in preparation for adding and subtracting fractions.
LANGUAGE ARTS/SOCIAL STUDIES: Showed a PowerPoint on Free Market Economy (ask you students about cow pies) and how a free market economy fosters change and innovation. Students were given the choice to do one of the following: 1) research four American inventions and fill out the provided form, 2) create your own invention and provide either a drawing or make a 3D mock-up of the invention. For option #2 students need to imagine if there were to be a DEMAND for it, and how they would SUPPLY it to those who want it.
NOTE: Patriotic Activity #2 is due tomorrow. Most got done early. We've had plenty of time to get it done in class (if they were on task). Patriotic Activity #3 will be due Feb. 25th in two weeks. Ask your child to see their "Patriotic Challenge" packet for instructions, or just look on my website under the "Social Studies" link.
MISS KING: Students rotate to Miss King Tue. - Fri. They are supposed to write in their planners what is coming due. Ask them what they are doing in Mrs. King's class. It's all about "primary sources" to discover history.
SPELLING: Test tomorrow.
WRITING: We will be starting homework assignments online at www.utahwrite.com next week in preparation for the national DWA (Directed Writing Assessment) on Feb. 28th. Please don't make any appointments for Feb. 28th is possible. Thanks!
VALENTINE'S DAY: Please add Kai Nielson to your student list. She comes from Mrs. Beck's class with us to lunch and specialty classes. She will be at our Valentine's Day Party.
