Science 7 / Math 7

We ended up doing two periods of science today to allow as many students as possible to finish a group assignment on procedure writing before the weekend.  This also allowed me to finish conferencing with students regarding their district math benchmark assessment.  All groups finished the draft of their procedure writing assignment, but several groups need to finish the good copy over the weekend to pass in on Monday.  I will explain the assignment to those who were absent today on Monday.

Math 6

We began working on Section 3.3 of the unit today which involves multiplying decimal numbers by natural numbers.  The concept reinforcement is a worksheet (pages 36 and 37).  Students were given about 30 minutes during class to complete the worksheet and were asked to finish it over the weekend.  You can see today’s lesson in detail in the pdf file below.

Due to high absenteeism today, students spent the afternoon in the gym.
