Infectious disease brochures were given back to students. Students that have not completed this assignment need to have it handed in before the end of the day. We continued our study of decision making today, looking at logical thinkers and those who use intuition to make decisions. We discussed the answers to "Catherine's Story" and started looking at "Here and Now Decisions" vs. "Decisions that Affect our Futures"

The first part of class was devoted to handing back marked assignments. Several assignments were returned to students and they were filed into the proper section of their ELA binders. We continued with our read aloud, "The Amazing International Space Station" Students wrote a before reading entry into their response journals. "What do I know about this text?" We shared responses and discussed the characteristics of a thoughtful response.

We continued our study of place value of decimals. We went over the hand-in that was completed last class and worked through a handout on hundredths and thousandths together. We reviewed place value of decimals, expanded form, standard form and did some work on comparing decimals. Students were given the following assignment from the textbook. Page 90-91 #1-6 and 8-10. Questions 1 and 2 are due for Wednesday!
