Thursday, March 4th

Sixth Grade

Today, the class worked on the test review. Be sure to finish it tonight to be ready for the test tomorrow!

Seventh Grade

The most important thing to remember for tomorrow is YOUR RESEARCH PAPER IS DUE! Remember, it will count TRIPLE in your Language Arts grade so be sure to get it finished. I know some of you are waiting until the last minute to get some information together for it. That's going to show and your grade won't be as good. Please take your time tonight. Focus on the writing and making it your own - not by just changing a word or two, but by rephrasing it in the way YOU would say it. Also, look over the evaluation sheet I gave you. That will help you know what I expect.

Spelling Unit 26 is due tomorrow.

Math - Similarity worksheet.

Grammar - Adjectives chapter. Ex. A & C. Just write the adjectives and words modified in Ex. A and write the answers in columns for Ex. C.

Eighth Grade

Pre-Algebra. Lesson 8-1. #2-26. You all were great today!

Algebra I. Worksheet over elimination. Click on the picture to make it bigger!

Sometimes you will only have to multiply one equation by a number in order to eliminate one of the variables. Sometimes you will have to multiply both equations as in the following example.
Remember, if neither your x terms or your y terms are opposite signs, you will have to multiply by a negative number on one of the equations so that they will eliminate. (Lindsay, feel free to email me again if you get stuck! That goes for anyone else too.)

See you tomorrow!
