Week of 12-10-2012

Hello!

The last two weeks before break, the students are pushing hard in the math classroom! The sixth grade class is finishing up their units. They did an great job presenting their unit project, using a video, PowerPoint, books, and other displays of creativity. The seventh grade students are finishing up their unit, as well. They will soon take a vocabulary quiz and their unit test before break. The eighth grade students are finishing up learning about exponential growth and decay. They will take a vocabulary quiz and their unit test the following week, before break. Each grade had an extra credit assignment that they are to work on for points. Each week, they are to continue working on ALEKS to further advance their math skills. Hope you have all had a wonderful week!

Week of 11-26-2012

Welcome!

This last week flew by quickly as the students returned from their Thanksgiving break. The sixth grade students worked hard in their third Investigation of the Shapes and Designs unit. They had time throughout the week to work on their unit projects. Presentations will be approaching quickly. The seventh grade students finished up their second Investigation of the Moving Straight Ahead unit. They dove deeper into linear equations. The eighth grade students finished up their second Investigation of the Growing, Growing, Growing unit. They were able to make comparisons of linear relationships and exponential relationships. We will all be working hard up till December 21st. Students, keep working hard to complete your ALEKs required amount of topics each week. Parents, do not forget to check your child's MSP (mystudentsprogress.com). Have a great week!
