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.
