Math Homework, Tuesday, Sept. 27th
ATN p. 16-17 # 9-19. Hint: When making the number lines for the first two problems, it would be good to use an interval of 1/2. Then start with your lowest number and put that to the furthest left on your numberline. The tick marks should be evenly spaced and marked -1.5, -1, -.5, 0, .5, 1, 1.5, 2. Once your tick marks are in place, you can mark your numbers in the problems with points.Â
Language Arts Homework
Monday=Read 15 minutes and complete journal entry

BY FRIDAY=Complete Book Review Graphic Organizer…be ready to type it!Â
(If you want to use Friday’s lab time to post writing pieces to the moodle, you may type your review at home and save to a flash drive. That way, you can simply paste it to the moodle and spend the remainder of the class period working on other pieces.)

Adventure Team
Fundraiser
One part of our team’s mission is to engage in philanthropic projects that instill in the students a respect for community and a willingness to help others. Our primary philanthropic event this year will be raising money for Cleveland’s Alta House.  The Alta House, located in Little Italy, provides services for the elderly such as transportation, nutrition and meal programs, friendly visitation, and recreational activities. They also serve the youth and community with after-school activities, art programming, field trips, and tutoring. The funds we raise will help keep these programs strong and will also assist in other Alta House community outreach efforts.Â
