6th graders  - finish your end-of-unit assessment and hand it in the INBOX outside Rom 115. In Friday's math period and over the weekend, read pages 2 - 17. Do the questions mentally. Come to class prepared to do related questions.

Algebra students - ZF & EK: p. 145-6 q. 36, 39, 42 a), b) not c), 45 (if you have trouble, tremble not - we will talk together through solving it on Monday)

On FRIDAY in your math period - work on IXL Algebra J.1, J.4, J.8, and (time permitting) J.5

Geometry students - Hellooooooo. You feel so far away right now. Hope you are well! When I see you next, remind me that I have a silly gift for you :)

GIP students (all): Tonight, try to get the KW part of your KWL chart done. The topic is TIME-KEEPING. Over the next few days, read the excerpt from "Children of Prometheus" (Who is Prometheus anyway? Has anyone wondered?) and finish your KWL chart by filling in the L section. 

See you next week! Well, let's all adhere to the convention of time-keeping as we know it and call it next week :)

Spellers: Are you being 'buzzy bees" or "busy bees", or neither? Please pick up your Packet outside Room 115. Work on learning the spelling of the double-letter words in the attached word list  and have fun with the puzzles.

WORD OF THE WEEK, FOR GEEKS

octothorpe

the name for the hashtag, also known as the pound sign

The symbol was originally used in mapmaking, representing a village surrounded by eight fields, so it was named the octothorpe literally meaning "eight fields".
