Wednesday, November 16th

Sixth Grade

The class took a test today over fractions! No homework.

Seventh Grade

Math - There is a test tomorrow over markups, discounts, and taxes. Be sure you go over all of your notes and review for the test! Be sure you know HOW to find the final price of an item if it was marked up or marked down. Also, be sure you can find percent of markup or discount if given the original price and the new price. Remember, divide the change in prices by the original price. Please email me if you have questions!

Geography - Everyone's states' projects look fantastic! I'm so proud that everyone finished on time and did such a terrific job. We will be having the state's fair tomorrow where other classes will come look at our projects. Be proud of yourselves! They look great. And parents, if you are coming to the Thanksgiving Feast, please stop by our room and take a look.

Eighth Grade

Pre-Algebra: Area and Perimeter of complex shapes with half circles and triangles. Remember, to find the perimeter of a half circle, multiply pi times the radius. Then add that to the rest of the perimeter.

Algebra I: The test is going to be on FRIDAY instead of tomorrow! Please don't stress about it tonight. I talked to Mrs. Baer and you guys will come to Algebra I class at 10:10-11:00. I won't have Pre-Algebra that day, so there is time for you to take the test then. Tomorrow, we will continue to review! Be ready to work hard.

See you tomorrow,
Mrs. Swickey
