Sixth Grade
Literature - "Quiz Time" sheet with 10 questions over Chapters 1-3 of The Golden Goblet. This is due on Friday because I will be on a field trip with the 7th graders tomorrow.
Spelling - Unit 9 was assigned today. The students do not have their Spelling books back yet, but I will make sure they have them tomorrow!
Math - Lesson 29. Practice and #1-10 only. Remember, to multiply fractions you multiply ACROSS. Numerator times numerator, and denominator times denominator. Then reduce the fraction you get after multiplying, if necessary. If the top number is bigger than the bottom, you will need to change it into a mixed number by dividing the bottom number into the top.
If you have a whole number multiplied by a fraction, first write the whole number over 1, then multiply across.
Seventh Grade
Don't forget! If you haven't brought your permission slip or your money for our trip to the zoo, be sure you have it with you tomorrow! You cannot go unless we have the permission slip. Remember, you must wear your uniforms. You can wear a spirit shirt, if you have one. You may NOT wear carnival shirts or house shirts tomorrow. Save those for Friday. We are going to have a great time. I expect your best behavior and full participation in our activity observing and recording the animal behaviors. It's going to be a fun day. One more thing, be sure you bring lunch money or a sack lunch. I will have a cooler to put your lunches in.
Spelling - Unit 9 is due on Friday! Please be sure you are studying. I passed out the home study sheet today, so take that home and study tonight and tomorrow night!
Literature - Worksheets over "A Secret for Two". These are due tomorrow. I will take them up in the morning!
Vocabulary - We reviewed the words for Unit 4. Write 10 sentences with ten of the words. These are also due tomorrow.
Math - Lesson 24. Dividing Fractions. Remember the rule for dividing fractions: Change the division sign to multiplication and flip the second fraction. Then cross cancel where you can and multiply across. Change any improper fractions into mixed numbers and be sure the fractions are completely reduced! The lesson is due on FRIDAY.
Eighth Grade
Both of the following assignments are due on Friday. You will have another math assignment passed out tomorrow that will also be due on Friday.
Pre-Algebra: Lesson 27. Area of triangles. Remember, to find the area of a triangle, multiply the base times the height and divide by two. You can always find the height because it is at a RIGHT ANGLE to the base. You can find the right angle by looking for the little square. Sometimes the height is NOT one of the sides, but will be indicated by the little square and dotted lines to the top point of the triangle.
Algebra I - Lesson 27. You were all doing so well with the examples today, so I won't go through it again! Excellent job.
See you tomorrow!
Mrs. Swickey
