THE HORROR!!!
Today we talked about student loans. The eyes popping out of the students’ heads would be hilarious if the actual situation weren’t so scary.
Students took their total cost of education that they researched, and then figured out what their monthly loan payment would be if they paid it off in 20 years. Some students found this to be quite scary. So did Mr. Potter.
In science we continued to talk about ecosystems, and the effects of organisms being removed or added to an ecosystem. Just one organism being removed or added can have a dramatic effect.
Tonight students should finish up their review packet on animals and ecosystems. They should answer questions 21 – 40. They should also pick FOUR new vocab words to write in the back of their science journal (under the two from yesterday). They should write the definition for these in their own words.
In math we reviewed adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing with decimals and fractions. At first I was really worried that we had forgotten all of this somehow, but after one or two little reminders we were back on track.
Tonight students should do pages 18–181 in their math coach (more volume stuff)
They also have some decimal and fraction problems to work out.
If they need them, here are the notes we took today:
Not much today, so I don’t think we really need a tl;dr.
EOGs are in less than 10 days!!!
Read tonight!
Have a good one,
