DON'T FORGET TO WEAR YOUR HOUSE SHIRTS TOMORROW! WE ARE HAVING THE SORTING CEREMONY FOR THE 5TH GRADERS AND OUR NEW STUDENTS! SHOW YOUR HOUSE PRIDE!
Sixth Grade
Today the class worked a little more on adding and subtracting by working with larger numbers and a lot more regrouping. Then, I showed them Pascal's Triangle and the class figured out several patterns in the triangle. Ask them about it if they didn't show you yet! Most students finished the homework in class. It was a page of adding and subtracting larger numbers.
Seventh Grade
Math - Today the students took an open note quiz on the properties of numbers. Then they re-evaluated the pre-test they took before our balance activity. Tomorrow we will begin evaluating exponential expressions and square roots. No homework.
Geography -Today we began the list of water forms. The students wrote down the definitions. Remember to study all the landforms and water forms for the quiz on Tuesday! We then read part of Chapter 2, Section 3. Finish reading the rest of the section tonight and define the vocabulary words. Then, draw a picture of each climate (see descriptions on page 36) using colored pencils or crayons, and regular pencil only. No ink or markers and be sure to use blank paper!
Eighth Grade
Pre-Algebra - Today, we talked a bit more about the Trillion Dollar activity from yesterday. Then we began discussing order of operations. There is no homework tonight, but expect some tomorrow!
Algebra I - We reviewed the order of operations today. The key thing to remember is that multiplication and division must be done in the order they come in. They hold equal places in the order. So, if you have a division to the left of multiplication, the division is first. The same holds true for addition and subtraction. If subtraction is first from the left, then it is done first.
I didn't bring the homework sheet home with me to blog the problems you are doing. If you don't know, ask a classmate. (I remember that you have to do evens from #44-84).
If you have any questions.....EMAIL ME.
See you tomorrow!
