Algebra 1 Week of April 18

 On the practice sheet 3b.4We will complete our exponential unit this week and test on Wednesday. On Thursday we begin the topic of sequences and comparisons of exponential functions. Next week we will spend one day in the computer lab preparing for our EOC on May 11th. The next unit we will cover will be on data and statistics. Many of these topics you have studied before in middle school. We will be using applications of these topics in daily life and expanding on what you already know.

US History Week of March 28 - April 1

We have been working on the Roaring Twenties and the Great Depression this week. Quiz over Between the Wars is Thursday, March 31. We did a Milling to the Music activity to prepare  for the quiz. Use this to study. We will also watch America: The Story of US-Bust on Thursday, and begin WWII on Friday. I will give you some USA Testprep exercises to work on over the Spring Break for some grade recovery and practice for the EOC.

Algebra 1 Week of March 28 - April 1

Woohoo! Last week before Spring Break. We just began Unit 4 on Exponential Equations and Graphs. We have covered characteristics and transformations so far. Expect a Skills Check on Thursday.

ESOL US History Week of March 13 - 17

We took the test over Domain Three today (Thursday, March 17). We  began the study of Domain 4 with a map exercise, comparing Europe before WWI to Europe after WWI.

Tomorrow, we will start on the first set of notes which deal with WWI and watch America: The Story of US-Cities.

Algebra 1 Week of March 13-17

We are almost finished with Unit 3B. We will be testing on Wednesday over factoring and solving quadratic equations. The next unit is exponential equations and their graphs. Remember to do your nightly Daily Five homework.

US History Week of March 7 - 11

We completed the notes on Big Business and Industrialization and will have the quiz on Thursday. On Tuesday and Wednesday, we worked on the mini-DBQ on Booker T. Washington and W.E.B.

Remember that the "Fakebook" Civil War project is due Tuesday, March 15.

Algebra 1 Week of March 7 - 11

This week, we have continued factoring by GCF, AC method, and difference of perfect squares. We started solving quadratics using the square root method and we will continue with solving using factoring and the quadratic equation. Next week, we will focus on completing the square and applying factoring and solving to real world examples. Be prepared to take the Unit 3B test by the end of next week.
