Sixth Grade
Reminder - For the NINE 6th graders who did not turn in their summer math, be sure to bring it to class tomorrow!
Math - Lesson 3. Missing numbers in addition and subtraction. Here are two examples for you. You can click on the pictures to make them bigger and easier to see!
Spelling - The class started Unit 1 today! We will usually start a new unit on Wednesdays and they will be due the following Tuesday. Spelling tests will be on Tuesdays for 6th grade. Unit 1 is due NEXT Tuesday. Each student needs to complete the entire unit and the Challenge page. The only things I do not require in Spelling are the writing assignment on the 4th page (unless otherwise specified) and any circling of letters in a word.
Literature - Today, we began going over the summer assignment. We will continue to discuss the book tomorrow and the class will have a test on Wednesday!
Seventh Grade
Grammar - pg. 21-22. Exercise A. Do NOT write the answers in columns. Simply write person, place, or thing for each number. DWS - Follow directions carefully! Remember to turn to page 22 to find the directions for each sentence you will write.
Spelling - The class took a pre-test over Unit 1 today. The units will be due each Friday. The tests will also be on Fridays. The only things I don't require in Spelling are the writing assignments (unless otherwise specified) or any circling of letters. The Challenge page is always part of the assignment as are the Vocabulary Connections pages.
Math - No homework today! The class finished up Lesson 2 in class after we discussed a few more topics covered in the lesson. (There was a lot of new information in Lesson 2!)
Eighth Grade
Pre-Algebra - Lesson 3. If you need help, scroll back up and look at 6th grade's examples. It's the same exact thing except your numbers will be bigger!
Algebra I - Lesson 3. Below is an example of a shape with the half circles on it.
Now that you've got the all the straight sides figured out, you need to find the perimeter of the two half circles. Remember that you can just multiply pi by the radius to find the circumference of a half circle. So, 3.14 x 7=21.98 and 3.14 x 3=9.42.
Once you have those, then add everything up and that's the perimeter of the whole shape!
21.98 + 9.42 + 13 + 14 + 7 = 65.4cm
And, as always, EMAIL ME if you have a question!
See you tomorrow!
