Welcome!
The students had a short two-day week, preparing for Thanksgiving break! All grades worked thoroughly through their lessons on Monday. The sixth grade continues to work their way through the geometry unit. Seventh grade students are attacking the concept of linear equations with graphing. Eighth grade students are studying the differences between linear and exponential relationships, while finding decay and growth in both. Their ALEKS requirements for the week are modified. The students are aware of these changes. I hope you all have had a wonderful break thus far.

Week of 11-12-2012
Welcome!
This has been a busy week. The students should be continuing to work on their required amount of ALEKS topics each week. The sixth grade class continues to work hard in their geometry unit. We worked a little bit this week on their big unit project, "My Special Shapes." They looked at lines of symmetry, reflection symmetry, rotation symmetry, and angle measures. The seventh grade students have jumped into learning about linear relationships. The eighth grade students are working hard on exponential relationships, growth, and decay. Since majority of the eighth grade students have been taking entrance exams for high school we have been looking at tips and practices for these exams. We will continue to investigate through these topics.

Week of 11-5-2012
Welcome!
This week was filled with classes wrapping up units and beginning new units. The sixth grade classes began their new unit, "Shapes and Designs." They will be working on symmetries, angles, and shapes. They were introduced to their big unit project, "Special Shapes Project." They should be working on this project throughout the unit. The seventh grade students took a re-take of their unit test and we jumped into their new unit, "Moving Straight Ahead," which looks at slopes and linear relationships. The seventh grade students will be giving practice work each Monday (due the following Friday) to help practice their basic math operation skills. The eighth grade students spent the week testing. They took a vocabulary quiz, had a test day and two review days, then ended the week with a test re-take and a pre-test into the next unit, "Growing, Growing, Growing." Do not forget that ALEKS is taken as a weekly grade. Each grade has their class-specific topic requirements.

Week of 10-29-12
Welcome!
This last week was filled with the students wrapping up their unit and turned in their completed extra credit. The sixth grade students finished "Data About Us" and are now diving into their new unit, "Shapes and Designs". Within their next unit they will have a unit project. They will be bringing details home. The seventh grade students finished their "Accentuate the Negative" unit and are now being introduced to "Moving Straight Ahead" with slopes and linear equations. The eighth grade students finished up "Looking at Pythagoras" and will soon begin their new unit, "Growing, Growing, Growing." Hope you all had a wonderful week!
