8/14/12

English 8th: 
Students received their vocabulary program and first vocab. assignment. They spent the majority of the class period completing the English pre-test.  *homework: vocab. packet due tomorrow for correcting.

Geography 7th:  Students worked in small groups to explore their new textbooks with a scavenger hunt. Toward the end of the class students registered their online textbooks and checked out some of its functions. This is such a great feature of our new textbook program!! Each student will have a special login that will allow them access to their own online textbook from any computer. They can save notes in the text, electronically hilight, search, and listen to audio. I look forward to using this  system with the kids this year. *homework: current event due Friday
English 7th:
Students took the English pre-test and worked on spelling. * homework: spelling - today's assignment is 5x each - if they are finished with Monday's worksheet and 5x each, they can move on to definitions
