US History Week of February 29 - March 4
This week we finished up the never-ending Domain 3, and started on Domain 4 which is the shortest unit. We took the Domain 3 test on Wednesday and Thursday, and started the new notes for Domain 4. We will continue with these notes, complete a mini-DBQ about WEB DuBois and Booker T. Washington, and begin watching the movie, Bury my Heart at Wounded Knee. Continue to work on your "fakebook" pages; I'm excited to see what you come up with.
Algebra 1 Week of Feb 29 - March 4
We have been working on factoring quadratics this week. We began by factoring GCF, then added factoring by grouping, followed by factoring trinomials using the AC method (including A = 1 and A > 1), and finally talked about factoring the difference of perfect squares. On Friday, we will practice all of the factoring methods we have learned and start to take skills checks over these methods.
Next week, we will begin solving quadratic equations.

ESOL US History Week of February 22 - 26
This week we are wrapping up the Civil War and Reconstruction. We watched America: The Story of US, the Civil War episode and will complete the Civil War and Reconstruction cloze notes. The quiz over the Civil War is Friday, and the Domain 2 test is next Wednesday. Just before the Winter Break, each of you was assigned a Civil War personality to research. I will explain the Fakebook activity on Friday after the quiz. We will have several different types of review activities and games before the test on Wednesday, so regular attendance is critical to your success.
Algebra 1 Week of February 22 - 26
This week we finished Unit 3A and began on Unit 3B by learning about factoring a GCF (Greatest Common Factor). On Friday, we will begin factoring polynomials by grouping. If you still have difficulties with your integer rules (positive and negative signs), this is a good time to practice because knowledge of these rules is critical to factoring polynomials.

US History Week of February 1 - 5
Access testing has limited us some because we have had several students out for testing. We began the 2nd Domain that covers US Expansion through the Civil War and Reconstruction. We completed the first set of notes today, and will have a quiz on Tuesday. Everyone needs to turn in the Anti-Federalist vs. Federalist mini-DBQ and the Louisiana Purchase Timeline mini-project. I am enjoying the discussions we have in this class, and I appreciate your questions and thoughtful comments.
