October 26th – 30th
Happy Halloween Week!
Math: We’re continuing with Chapter Three, which is decimals and multiplication. Students seem to have a strong grasp of multiplying decimals, but their multiplication is rusty!! Please encourage students to dust off those math fact flashcards and practice each night. There will be a short mini-quiz on multiplication of decimals and estimating decimal products on Friday. We will review on Wednesday and Thursday.
English: The final typed paper is due on Friday, October 30th. All guidelines have been and will again be given a number of times in class. Peer edits were completed last week, so the papers have been edited and will be evaluated by peers on Monday with a similar rubric that I use. Major skills being assessed include sentence structure (variation of sentence openers… subject, conjunction, participle, preposition, adverb, adjective), paragraph organization, and word choice.
