Hello!
Although this has been a bit of a stressful week, the students dominated the ISTEP! While the students were hard at work, we worked swiftly in the math classroom. The sixth grade students began their new unit, Comparing and Scaling. This unit involves finding the area and perimeter of two dimensional objects. The seventh grade students did a fabulous job with their last unit projects. Also, they did great on their unit exams. They have began their new unit, Filling and Wrapping, which deals with the concepts of surface area and volume of three dimensional objects. The eighth grade students have began their new unit, Say It With Symbols. We have stepped away from the textbook for a bit, and have just worked on reviewing some key concepts. The students were each given a notice concerning ALEKS. This notice told the students that any ALEKS completed from 03-04-2013 to 03-24-2013 would be counted as extra credit for the fourth quarter. Each class was given a different extra credit opportunity already for the third quarter. Have a great weekend!

Week of 02-25-2013
Hello,
The middle school continues to work hard in the math class. The sixth grade students have worked hard in finishing their Bits and Pieces 2 unit. They will begin their new unit, Comparing and Scaling, working with area and perimeter. They have extra credit due next Wednesday. The seventh grade students did a great job with their unit project, building the ultimate shopping mall. They finished up the week with their unit test. Their extra credit assignment will be due next Wednesday. The eighth grade students have finished up their unit on quadratic equations. They were to turn in their projects earlier this week. Their extra credit was due on Friday. They will spend the next several lessons reviewing combining like terms and the distributive property. They are all to continue working hard on their ALEKS pie.
