The theme for tonight's homework is Social Studies! This is starting with the kids' state projects. I did not give them any time to work on these in class, so they have a little research to do when they get home. They are to fill out part of the front page to find information regarding their state. They split these duties up between their partners, so it will be different for everyone.
The second thing they have tonight is going to be reading three pages in their Social Studies book. I will be giving them a very easy quiz tomorrow to see whether they did it or not. Also, many of them will have some corrections (although not nearly as many as I'd feared!) on their tests from last Friday.
Math class will also be getting their quizzes back from last week, and instead of my normal Whoops Sheet method of giving back half points for everything they'd corrected, I will be giving full credit back, as this is a formative assessment. Today we're going to be getting into graphs and beginning to get our feet wet with negative numbers. You know negative numbers--those things we first experienced when we were in middle school or high school.
The big news of the day is that the Great Candy Ban of 2013 has been lifted, so once more candy can be exchanged on Valentine's Day. I hadn't even had the chance to tell the kids about the new rule before it was repealed. But they all heard about it through their underground grapevines already, so imagine their joy to know that once more, they can rot out their teeth come Valentine's Day this year.
