Good Day, Sunshine!


It was so nice to see the sun shining through our windows all day! We were beginning to think we'd never see it again!

We were busy, busy, busy at school today! Our essays for D.A.R.E. are beginning to take shape, and we took our quizzes for the story 'A Brother's Promise.' We finished 'Pictures of Hollis Woods' and had our final discussions with our groups about the story. Many of us would definitely recommend the story to others. Quite a few students shared favorite parts with the group today! Our final project for the story is a book jacket report. We began to create it in our Cafe today!

Math classes worked hard today calculating the sales tax in different problems. We need to remember that we add the sales tax on to the subtotal and subtract it when we have a discount. Next week we will be starting our projects!

Wellness classes worked on graphing their nutritional information. Many of us were surprised to see the lack of nutrition in many things that we snack on each day. The graphing is coming along nicely!

Homework:
Language Arts - Book Jacket Report on Pictures of Hollis Woods is due May 12th.
Math: (202) Page 382 only Sales Tax problems; "It is a Bargain!" Worksheet
Wellness: (202) Graph due tomorrow
(204) Graph due Monday
