SIXTH GRADE MATH
The class had a great first day in math today! We spent the time going over rules and procedures for my class, and students were assigned their textbooks. Then, the class wrote what they liked and didn't like about math and took a timed fact test. There is no homework today!
SEVENTH GRADE MATH
We had a great first day in 7th grade math. The students were assigned their textbooks and they began working on a review lesson. It is p2. #1-21. Many didn't finish in class and will need to complete the assignment for homework tonight. Please email me if you have any questions!
SEVENTH GRADE GEOGRAPHY
On our first day in Geography, the class made a list of as many countries as they could remember. Many students had extensive lists with over 20 countries! We also went over the Homework Policy and came up with some class rules.
PRE-ALGEBRA
In Pre-Algebra, the class received their new textbooks and we began going over the first lesson. We will continue the lesson tomorrow in class. No homework!
ALGEBRA I
Our first Algebra I class was great today! We jumped right in with learning about sets of numbers and reviewing the different symbols used in math. The students received their new textbooks which are the same books used at both of the Catholic high schools. The homework is p14-15 #2-60 evens.
STEM
Mrs. Lassiter and I are both very excited about our STEM class! Again, STEM stands for Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math. We learned about the engineering design process and talked about what a engineer does. Then the students worked together to put the steps in their proper order and place. They also watched a skydiving video as an introduction to our first design project - a parachute! Each group will design a parachute that will safely carry a cup full of Skittles from the loft to the floor in my classroom. Everyone seemed excited and eager to get started designing.
See you tomorrow!
Mrs. Swickey
