Thursday, January 6th

Sixth Grade

Spelling - Unit 17 is due on Tuesday. You will NOT have to do the Vocabulary Connections since you won't get your books back until tomorrow.

Math - Lesson 50. Rounding decimal numbers. Remember, to round decimal numbers, you still look at the number to the RIGHT of the place you are rounding. If THAT number is 5 or greater, then the number in the place you are rounding goes up. If it is 4 or less, then the number in the place you are rounding stays the same. What is different is, all the numbers AFTER the place you are rounding can now GO AWAY since it is after a decimal point. Also, when rounding to the nearest cent, remember you are always rounding to two places after the decimal. That means you look at the THIRD place after the decimal to see what you do to the second number after the decimal.

Seventh Grade

Grammar - pg. 80 Exercise C and DWS. Follow the directions.

Literature - Answer the Chapter 14 questions.

Math - Lesson 49 - Adding Mixed Measures. Everyone was doing so good with these today! If you need help, ask me tomorrow.

Spelling - Unit 17 is due tomorrow and the test will be tomorrow. Be sure to finish your unit. You do NOT have to do the Vocabulary Connections.

Eighth Grade

Both groups are to do Lesson 47.

Algebra I, remember when you are doing a problem that says a certain number is INCREASED BY a certain percent (for example, 150%) you have to add 100% to the percent. So, for example, if 48 is increased by 150%, find 250% of 48 by multiplying 48 x 2.5 = 120

See you tomorrow!
