Language Arts:Today we reviewed our first House on Mango Street quiz and continued working on our reading and notes.

HW: Reading Project 1 is due and will not be accepted after Thursday, 5/24.

Math 8:Today we reviewed answers to "Climbing the Ladder" activity and began Lesson 12, "Five-Number Summaries of Data".  Students were given a copy of the Lesson to take home with them so they can refer to book lesson as we only have enough textbooks (Data Analysis) for an "in-class" set at this time

HW: Lesson 12T/12

Algebra:Today we worked on "Interdisciplinary Application", combining the Pythagorean theorem and multiplying polynomials to solve real world examples.  Also began "Investigating Algebra Activity" as a lead in to Lesson 9.4 (Zero-product Property)

HW: Finish Interdisciplinary Application (#1-8) AND Investigating Algebra Activity (#2-9)


Social Studies:Today we took TKAM quiz #2 over chapters 6-11.

HW: Should be read through chapter 15 tonight.

Science: Today we thought about our iterations, sketched them, and wrote a preliminary procedure.

HW: None - all work must be done in class.
