Sixth Grade
Today we reviewed the topics that we've covered so far. There will be a test on Friday. Tomorrow, we will continue going over some things, making sure everyone understands place value, expanded notation, rounding, and ordering. After the test, we will have our first game day! There is no homework tonight, but you DO need to start studying and having your parents help you get ready for the test.

Math - We continued working on Scientific Notation today. Yesterday, we were converting from standard form into scientific notation and today, we did the reverse.
To convert from Scientific Notation to standard form, you just need to move the decimal to the right the number of places indicated by the exponent. Remember, you aren't just adding that many zeros. If there is already a number after the decimal point, you have to count that too. Here are a few examples:
Everyone finished the worksheet from yesterday and worked ten more problems converting in Scientific Notation. There is no homework!
Geography - The test over Chapter 1 will be Friday. Today, be sure to finish the Chapter Assessments - Reviewing Key Terms, Main Ideas, and Map Activity. We will review for the test tomorrow.
Eighth Grade
Pre-Algebra: Today, the class took notes on dividing in Scientific Notation. The homework is to complete the worksheet with both Multiplying and Dividing in Scientific Notation. The part that might be confusing is what to do with the exponents. Remember, in multiplying you ADD the exponents and in dividing you SUBTRACT the exponents - TOP minus BOTTOM. Here is an example of dividing:
Algebra I - Finish the Cartoon Corner - #2 and #4. Just follow directions!
See you tomorrow,
