Clean Up Day

Hello! Well....we are back indoors after a beautiful weekend. Hope you all had a chance to enjoy it! Because both of us were out on Friday, we had to clean up a little loose ends before moving on today. Edmodo work continues to raise questions for students and know that we are working on them. As we all become more familiar with how to use it, many of our issues will be resolved. For now however, parents please continue to communicate with us if there is a technical issue and your child is unable to complete the assignment (either by note or email). Next, we discussed the quiz from Friday on latitude and longitude. We discussed the question, "when do you know are ready to take a quiz?". Students should have a great answer for you including something like....practice when you know whether or not you have the right answer. We then discussed the answers and all students who didn't receive a 100% will need to retake it on Friday. We will be practicing this skill daily in our warm-up. Finally, we worked on our running word wall for the vocabulary words for chapter 26 on the focus sheet. Students will finish this work tomorrow.

Homework:  Study (Practice) Retake on Friday, complete Edmodo videos and take notes on handout
