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!
