Homework 03.26.13

PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE make sure you are reading the instructions for homework each night.  We had HALF the class that did not complete homework last night! YIKES!  I know we are all suffering a little bit from SPRiNG FeVeR, but we still need to do our homework each night and follow the directions.  Doing homework the right way is part of getting it done :)

Tonight's Assignment:

1.  Go to our Electricity Live Binder or Google and search for answers to the following questions in Notability and then put them in your DropBox folder:

                                a)  What is current electricity?
                                b) What is static electricity?
                                c)  What is an electroscope?

2.  ScootPad or ALEKS (choose either one tonight) for 20-30 minutes.

3.  READ for 30 minutes.  Write a paragraph about what you read in Notability and put it in your DropBox folder.

SEE YOU TOMORROW!!!

Homework 03.21.13

Thanks for being so responsible by doing ALEKS or ScootPad even though you didn't have a new homework post. Things have been a little bit crazy since I got back from Australia and I haven't had a chance to update the homework. Here is what I want you to do tonight:


1.  ScootPad- Math and Language.  Do ScootPad for 15-20 minutes EACH NIGHT.  You can do math or language.  I will let you decide what you think you need the most help with and choose.

2.  ALEKS.  Do ALEKS for 20-30 minutes EACH NIGHT.  Do your best!

3.  READ, READ, READ!  Read for 30 minutes (or more) EACH NIGHT! 

Keep up the GREAT work!

PS- REMEMBER TO BE HONEST ABOUT YOUR HOMEWORK!  When I checked the minutes that some of you have told me you have done on ALEKS/ScootPad compared to what is actually logged on the apps, there was a SIGNIFICANT difference for some of you.   Please make sure you are doing your BEST work and that you are being honest with me and yourself about what you are actually doing.  :)

See you tomorrow!!! :)
