P.E 1, English 1, Geometry, Choir

J. Jensen, D. Erickson, J. Beckett, B. Hogan.

P.E. (Mrs. Jensen):
All that you had to do for this class was read that one paper she passed out, but if you don't, she doesn't care. So basically you do your stretches. Then you do some pushups. And then you run two laps of the tennis courts. After you finish that, you get to play "king/queen of the court". So you play that for like a good 20 minutes, if not more. After that you proceed to play two tennis games with two other teams, and that pretty much concludes the period. There is no homework assigned for this class.

English 9 HP (Mrs. Erickson):
The homework that she stamps to day is the draft 3 of your essay. So, as you are walking into the classroom, Mrs. Erickson passes out these slips of paper that tell you what station you are going to be starting at. There are basically four stations (which btw, you don't get through them all). So Station #1 has this article that you have to take notes on and discuss with a group while answering this handout. Station #2 is Found Poetry where you take quotes out of one of the articles and add your own words, and then you have to take it home, type it up, and put it on some symbol (no Swastikas, guys). Station #3 is reading some other article, I think, and taking notes on it. Also you have to discuss like how it relates to 'Night'. Staiton #4 is just watching a video of a Holocaust Survivor and you take notes on him. All notes are Cornell Style, btw. Anyways, homework assigned for this class is draft 4 and section two of 'Night'.

Geometry (Mrs. Beckett):
There is no homework due today for this class. You go into class and you spend ten-ish minutes organizing your binder for Unit 6, which btw, she has the list on the board for you. After that you spend the rest of the period doing the portfolio activity which is about rectifying curved figures to turn them into rectangular figures. She guides you through it, so it's super easy. She also passes out the reflection paper that you need to fill out. Homework assigned for this class is the POW, the reflection she passed out, and test corrections on the Circle Quiz. Also there is a binder check on Thursday/Friday.

Choir (Mr. Hogan):
There is no homework due today for this class. Basically, all you do in this class is watch a video on Motown and this band called The Funky Brothers, while he finishes up auditions/final test. There is an assignment with the video pertaining to songs your recognize, names of band members and what they play, and five interesting facts. The unofficial homework assigned for this class is studying and/or going over sight reading, which starts on Thursday/Friday.

- John.
