To All Parents: The first PTC meeting is tonight! If you attend, your child will get a free jeans day, plus you will learn about what is going on at St. Charles.
I hope to see you there!
I hope to see you there!
Sixth Grade
Spelling - The class took a test over Unit 3 today. I will assign Unit 4 tomorrow!
Literature - The students finished reading "Dragon, Dragon" in class today with the substitute. Actually, I think the class finished reading the story. If not, you need to finish it in order to answer the following questions: Thinking About the Selection #1-9. Analyzing Literature #1-4. For the Analyzing Literature questions, you need to put the answers on a plot chart as shown on the bottom of page 23. Draw the chart large enough so that there is enough room to write the answers onto the chart.
Math - Practice Test 2. There will be a test tomorrow! Be sure you go over the practice test. I will answer any questions before the test begins tomorrow. The homework for tonight is Supplemental 12 on page 689.
7th Grade
Spelling - The unit is due on Thursday this week! Remember that you don't need to do the Vocabulary Connections this week.
Literature - No homework today.
Grammar - The class took a test over pronouns today.
Vocabulary - The class took a test over Unit 2 today.
Math - Lesson 13. Equal Groups. If you have questions about how to solve these, I will answer them tomorrow! I don't have time to put examples on the blog. Sorry!
Eighth Grade
Pre-Algebra - Lesson 14. Reducing Fractions and Expanding Fractions. If you don't remember how to do these, please send me an email. I will be happy to answer your questions this evening! I don't have time to do examples. Sorry!
Algebra I - Lesson 14. Evaluating Expressions. The trick with these is to make sure that when you plug in the value for the variable, that you don't forget about the signs. That's where these problems trip people up. Here is an example:
Evaluate: xy - (x+y) when x = -2 and y = -3
You would plug in -2 and -3 for x and y.
(-2)(-3) - ( -2 + -3)
6 - (-5) (change minus a negative to plus a positive)
6 + (+5)
11
Take your time on these and let me know if you have any questions!
See you tomorrow!
Mrs. Swickey
