Wednesday, November 18th

Sixth Grade

Today, the class took a test. There is no homework!

Seventh Grade

Spelling - Vocabulary Connections pages in Unit 14. Be sure you are studying each night!

Vocabulary - Unit Review for Units 4-6 is due tomorrow. Remember, you do not have to do the word families. There will be a test on Friday. You may use your cards if you have them.

Literature - Read the rest of Chapter 21 in Treasure Island and complete the worksheet for Part IV. Remember, you must answer the questions fully and in complete sentences! I expect thoughtful answers, not just whatever will get it done quickly.

Math - Lesson 4-2. #2-32 evens. Ordering and comparing decimal numbers. This was review for most everyone. Just remember, when you have negative numbers and are asked to write the numbers in order from least to greatest, think about the numbers without the negative and order them greatest to least. For example, -3.154 is LESS than -2.301. Another way to think about it is to imagine them on the number line. Whatever number would be furthest to the left on the number line is smallest.

Eighth Grade

We began reviewing for the Test over Chapter 3 which will be on Friday. You are to work the following problems from the practice test: #7-14, #21-38, and #45-48.

See you tomorrow!
