week of January 31

In first period language arts, we completed writing our first persuasive essay! I am very impressed with how well the students worked and the effort they put into their rough drafts. In class today (Friday), teacher edits were done and the second rough draft is due on Monday.

In third period reading, we are continuing with the second unit in the Inside series. We will be reading Film Fright beginning on Monday. Preparation for the ISAT's will begin the week of February 7.

In eighth period math, the students are diligently working on fractions. Although they have become frustrated at times, their hard work is paying off. This week we have reviewed finding the LCD (least common denominator) and then focused on adding fractions without common denominators. We will continue with subtraction next week. There will be a quiz on Friday, February 4.

*** Don't forget....Downers South's Orientation Night is Monday, January 31 at 6:30!!!
