Hello!
I hope every family had a wonderful first week of October. We started off the week with a introduction to The Energy Bus. Our sixth grade students jumped right into their new unit, Data About Us. They have been learning about bar graphs, line plots, and distributions of data. The seventh grade students also began their new unit, Accentuate The Negative. The students will be working with ordering fractions and numbers, both positive and negative, as well as take on fraction operations and working with coordinate grids. The eighth grade students are cruising right through their new unit, Looking For Pythagoras. They will take on the Pythagorean Theorem and square roots. Let's not forget to do ALEKS! If the students complete their required amount each week, I drop their lowest score at the end of each month. Also, the students should practice their basic skills on FirstInMath.com. For daily reminders, don't forget to check out our Edmodo page. They will enjoy enhancing their education through these games. I hope you all have a wonderful weekend. See you next week!
