October 12th

Here's what we did today:
Reading-We read through a non-fiction passage together called "Urban Jungle".  We then identified the main idea of each paragrah as well as some details.  Groups met as well.

Math-Students took the October Math Tungsten.

Word Study-Groups 1/2 took their test while Groups 3/4 did a buddy check.

We also began the Junior Achievement program.  We have a volunteer from UMSL who is coming in to teach five economics lessons to the students over the next couple of months.  Today the students discussed the difference between natural, capital, and human resources. 

Homework:
Math-Correct Chapter 5 test.  Each corrected question is worth 2 extra points due to the difficulty of the test.  I need these back tomorrow in order to adjust grades for the first quarter.

Word Study-Groups 1/2 contract is due tomorrow, Groups 3/4 test is tomorrow

Read and Write!

I will also still accept book orders tomorrow.  Have a good night and GO CARDS!!
