Sixth Grade
Lesson 36 - Subtracting fractions from whole numbers. To do these, you will need to borrow one from the whole number and write a fraction that is equal to one. Use the same denominator as the bottom fraction. So, if you needed to subtract 5 - 1 2/3, you would cross out the 5 and make it 4, then write 3/3 next to it, since 3/3 equals one and has the same denominator as 2/3. Then subtract. You would get 3 1/3.
Seventh Grade
Spelling - The test over Unit 11 is tomorrow! The unit is also due so make sure it is finished.
Grammar - Write a paragraph following the format we discussed today answering the question, "What is your favorite holiday?" I will be grading on whether or not you follow these steps:
1. Write a topic sentence by restating the question as an answer.
2. Write 2-3 sentences with supporting information. DETAILS, PLEASE! If these sentences are general, you will not get full credit. Use transition words if needed.
3. Write a closing sentence that restates the first sentence or wraps up the paragraph!
Math - Graphing Inequalities. Each student should have written down the 10 inequalities from the board. Graph each of these on a number line. Remember, if it is greater than or equal to, or less than or equal to, then the circle will be filled in. If it is just greater than or less than, the circle will be open. You can tell if it is also "equal to" if the symbol includes the little line under it.
Eighth Grade
The class took a test today over radicals. There will be no class tomorrow because we are dismissing early for the carnival!
See you tomorrow!
