Today kicked off with our first Latin root "Prove What You Know" since back in March.  Overall, I was rather disappointed with the outcome.  There were way too many 2s for this time of the year.  We need to get our serious faces back on and take these seriously again!  As a class, we were on a roll heading into PSSA.  Hopefully next week business picks up again with Latin roots (and spelling...).

For those wanting an early preview of next week's Latin root- bio = life

Students continued on their menu projects.  I am impressed with the focus and detail they are putting into these.  Very nice job so far.  Hopefully Monday will be the last day we need for them.

In math we worked on plotting two linear equations and comparing the two lines.

This afternoon we had to take one of our final Journeys reading benchmarks of the year.  Hard work and dedication on these!
