Hello,
The sixth grade green class has spent the week, giving their final project presentations. The sixth grade gold class has been working hard with adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing decimals. They should expect a vocabulary quiz and test next week. The seventh grade students are continuing to look at data with bar graphs, stem-and-leaf plots, and line plots. They should expect a vocabulary quiz and test next week. The eighth grade students are working hard towards the end of this unit, Shapes of Algebra. They are working on solving systems of equations with graphing, substitution, and combination. They should expect a test next week, finishing off their last week as eighth graders. This is the eighth grade student's last week on ALEKS. Next week will be the seventh and sixth graders last week on ALEKS. They must master at least 3 topics per week.

Hello,
The students are working hard in the math classroom. Each week, they should be continuously practicing their math skills on ALEKS, mastering at least 3 topics per week. The sixth grade green class has finished up their 6th grade math units and are reviewing the material covered this year. They will soon be presenting their unit projects. The sixth grade gold class is work hard. They just recently finished their unit on probability and have began learning how to add and subtract decimals. The seventh grade students finished up their unit on probability, as well. They are beginning their last unit of the year, Data Distributions. The eighth grade students are working hard, learning the concepts of slope-intercept form and standard form. All students should continue to stay focused and work hard to finish off the year just right.

Hello,
The students are adjusting well into the month of May! The sixth grade students are finishing up their last units of the school year. The sixth grade gold class will be taking their unit test on probabilities this coming Monday. The sixth grade green class will be taking their unit test on decimals this coming Monday. The seventh grade students will also be taking their unit test on experimental and theoretical probabilities this coming Monday. The eighth grade students are diving into their new unit, Shapes of Algebra. The eighth grade green class should be continuously looking back through their notes and studies in preparation for the upcoming ECA exam. All students should be continuously practicing their skills ALEKS. They must complete 3 topics each week.

Hello!
The sixth grade students began their new unit, How Likely Is It. They are attacking the concepts of probability. The sixth grade green students are working on finishing up this unit and will have a unit test on Monday. The seventh grade students are working in their unit, What Do You Expect. They are looking at the deeper concepts of probability. The eighth grade students finished up their unit, Samples and Populations. They took a vocabulary quiz and a unit test this week. I hope the eighth grade students have a great time in D.C. next week!

Greetings!
Throughout this four-day week, the students have worked diligently within the math classroom. The sixth grade students began their unit project, Plan A Park. This project is due next week. They took a vocabulary quiz and will have their test next week. The seventh grade students were also assigned a unit project. This will be due next Monday. They took a vocabulary quiz and will have their test next week. The eighth grade students are in the beginning of their unit, Samples and Populations. They will spend this unit period studying data sets and how they are displayed in various ways. Each grade must complete 3 ALEKS topics this week. Remember: Each week runs Monday-Sunday, no matter what.
Have a great weekend!

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!
