November 23rd Update

Hello everyone,

Quick update this evening just in terms of homework and ongoing projects:

1. TED Talks will be presented either out loud in front of the class or videotaped on an iPad by Wednesday end of day. Students should practice at home. It does not need to be memorized, but should be well rehearsed.
2. French Power Points were due today along with the rubric. If you haven’t turned either of those things in, please get it to me as soon as possible, either via email or by tomorrow morning.
3. Rube Goldberg research should be done. I was going to collect them today, but we ran out of time during art, so they should be put in my INBOX tomorrow morning.
4. Math Focus right now is formula for Distance=RatexTime, as well as how this equation can be used in many different ways depending on what variable you are solving for. The worksheets I provided with word problems — please complete at least two pages. If you find all of the problems easy, I recommend you find another word problem related to this online that you think would be challenging and bring it in tomorrow.
5. Rube Goldberg Machines: We will start these tomorrow. Students know what machine they are doing, but they need to think about and collect supplies. Anything brought from home MUST come to school labeled with a name if you want it back and in a bag. There are some supplies here, but if you want a toy or specific building item from home, that is okay!

Thanks, and have a good night!
