Tuesday, September 26, 2023 Homework
Today was a different schedule as we had a guest speaker at 10am talking about the problems that social media can bring if not careful. Then we had the 12:30pm Eucharistic Adoration Mass. Students might have more homework than usual from me, but that is because of limited class time today. Thank you for your understanding.
Math - pgs 123 & 124 and 2 extra reteach worksheets (Today we broke down multiplication problems in an easier way to get the answers using distributive property again. Example: 5 x 17 = 5 x 10 + 5 x 7 = 50 + 35 = 85 as the final answer. Please keep practicing multiplication flashcards at home as we will be doing a lot of multiplication in the next few weeks. )
Science - Schiff only...read pages 35 - 39 in book and answer all the questions if not finished in class and D.O.S. has been passed out and due by Friday (Today we learned how matter changes. Questions to ask... What is physical change and some examples?... A physical change is a change in one or more properties of matter without forming a different kind of matter...examples: breaking glass or stretching a rubber band is a physical change. What are three types of physical change?... Stretching, melting, tearing )
Social Studies - Great Plains packet if not finished in class and D.O.G. has been passed out and due by Friday (Today we focused on Great Plains region for the Native Americans. Questions to ask... Why was the buffalo so sacred?... It was so sacred because it provided all the valuable elements needed for survival. What does nomadic mean?... Nomadic means they moved their homes following the buffalo herd.)
