MATH: Taught percentage (ratio that is always a fraction of something over 100). We watercolored 100's squares with various percentages and changed them to fractions, reduced the fractions too. Assignment: Worksheet P11-2 / 11-8 (review of Ratios and practice for Percentages). That's it for Chp. 11. (Other stuff isn't required from State Core.) We'll review tomorrow and take the test on Wednesday. I really want to hit Chp. 12 before end-of-year tests. We've done great this year covering all the concepts.
LANGUAGE ARTS: Making a List: I had students get a paper and label the front "Pre-School Years" and the back had "School Years." They were assigned to "brain drain" any memories from birth to Kindergarten and make a list, and then brain drain on K-5th Grade on the back of the paper. We will be writing paragraphs tomorrow about pre-school and school years. After that we will start creating future memories by looking into the next 60 years. Students will tell about their great accomplishments in Jr. High, High School, College, marriage or staying single, what they do for jobs, how they contributed to society and American. The biography will end when they are about 75 or so. It's a fun (and hopefully positive) look ahead and goal setting experience.
TFK ' "The Crisis in Japan" Packet handed out, worked on, and due this Thursday.
LIT LOG: I didn't get them copied yet for this week. Hot off the press for tomorrow!
