Monday, December 19th

Hello! I know there's been a bit of silence on the blog lately. I apologize for that! If you have any questions about homework, missing or makeup assignments, or anything else related to my classes, please send me an email: b s w i c k e y AT s c b c s DOT o r g (Remove spaces and change at and dot to symbols)


Sixth Grade

Today we worked with decimals - place value, finding a number between two numbers, discovering patterns, etc. The page is called "Decimal Detectives". I also passed out a Decimal Poem that explains how to work with decimals in most situations. Then the students received a "mystery picture". You do not have to finish the picture tonight as there will be time in class tomorrow to work on it!


Seventh Grade

**For the class party tomorrow, remember to bring a $5 gift that anyone in the class would like. It is NOT a gag gift. A gift certificate is a great idea, but it can be a "thing" too. Your parents should have been contacted by our terrific homeroom mom about what to bring for the party. If you have any questions, send me an email and I'll ask our mom. Don't forget that tomorrow is a Mass day so wear your Mass uniform!

Math - Today the class worked on a handout where they found the best route for Santa to take around the world. There is no homework!

Geography - We began reading Chapter 10, Section 1 - about the different ancient civilizations of Latin America. There is homework tonight - answer the questions #1-5 for Section 1.


Eighth Grade

Pre-Algebra: The homework is Angle Relationships. You should use your notes to answer the questions.

Algebra I: Graphing linear inequalities. You were all doing very well in class. Keep it up and we'll go over it tomorrow.

See you then!
