Sixth Grade
Yesterday, the class began working Lesson 25. I wasn't there to work through the new concept, so the students skipped the practice problems and a few problems on the lesson. Today, we discussed the lesson and worked some of the practice problems together. ALL of Lesson 25 (including the practice) is due tomorrow.
Seventh Grade
Spelling - The entire spelling unit is due tomorrow. Be sure you are studying for the test!
Vocabulary - The unit review for units 1-3 is due tomorrow. We will have the unit review test tomorrow as well. Be sure you have alphabetized your cards as you are able to use these on the test.
Literature - The class took a Selection Test over the story, "Last Cover".
The rest of class time was spent working through the practice ITBS test. We will finish up tomorrow. The tests are next week. Students need to get plenty of sleep and EAT BREAKFAST! Snacks will not be provided this year so please be sure to bring some healthy snacks to have during breaks. This will help you concentrate on the tests.
Eighth Grade
Lesson 2-1 #2-54 evens. Scientific Notation. Remember, the following rules:
When changing INTO scientific notation, if you move the decimal to the right, the exponent will be positive. When moving the decimal to the left, the exponent will be negative.
When changing from scientific notation to a standard number (a regular number), if the exponent is positive, you will move the decimal to the right. If the exponent is negative, you will move the decimal to the left.
When comparing two numbers written in scientific notation, simply compare the exponents of the power of 10. If the exponents are the same, then compare the numbers before the multiplication sign.
See you tomorrow!
