Sixth Grade
The class took a test today. Tomorrow, we won't have class because of a house tournament. I will be on a field trip with 7th grade on Thursday, but the class will have Lesson 97 as the assignment. I'll see you all in class again on Friday!
Seventh Grade
Spelling - Unit 33 is due on Friday.
Grammar - We didn't have time to review for the test, so I have postponed it until Thursday.
Literature - We read another chapter of Tom Sawyer. We will read one more chapter tomorrow and have an assignment.
Math - We spent the majority of our class time together reviewing for the math test. I gave the students a yellow piece of paper that is about the size of a 4x6 index card. They can write as many notes as will fit on the paper and use it as a "cheat sheet" on the test. I didn't want them stressed out about remembering the formulas and different parts of the percent proportions. I wanted them to remember how to put the information into a formula or proportion in order to solve. So...be sure your paper is readable and has enough information on it to help tomorrow! And go over everything....
Eighth Grade
Pre-Algebra - Lesson 10-4. Circumference and Area of a circle. Most students finished in class, but if you didn't, just remember, to find the circumference, multiply the diameter x pi (using 3.14 for pi). If the problem gave you the radius, remember to double it before multiplying by pi.
To find the area, remember to multiply pi times the radius squared. First, square the radius, (remembering to cut in half the diameter if that is what you are given), then multiply by pi. You are rounding the nearest tenth on all of them but #26. On that one, just write the answer. Do #2-9, #14-16, and #26.
See you tomorrow!
