Wednesday, November 11th

Sixth Grade

Lesson 42 - Equivalent division problems and missing numbers with decimals and fractions.

Seventh Grade

Spelling - Be sure to finish the unit by Friday... and study!

Vocabulary - There is a test tomorrow over Unit 6! Be sure to study tonight.

Literature - Read chapter 16 in Treasure Island.

Grammar - Rewrite your object paragraph. This is a second draft, but is not your final draft. Don't forget to skip lines!

Math - The class took a test today. We have reviewed for two days, but the class still did not do well on it. I will not take up anymore class time going over the material. The students are doing fine on the assignments, seem to understand during review, but it is not following through to the tests. Yesterday, I wrote problems on the board that were identical to the test problems except I just changed the numbers, and again, most of the students felt comfortable with the concepts, but that didn't help either. What I will do though, is allow those who wish to take the makeup test to stay after school tomorrow from 3:15-4:00 to take it. If this is a conflict for you, please write me at the address in the sidebar. We can discuss an alternate time.

Eighth Grade

Worksheet reviewing equations. Everyone is doing pretty well, but I want it to be solid before we move into harder equations.

See you tomorrow!
