SIXTH GRADE

There is no homework today. The class spent quite a bit of time doing the Fast Math (it's like a warm up and the beginning of class). They also had a lot of questions on the assignment from yesterday. We will start fresh tomorrow with multiplying decimal numbers!

SEVENTH GRADE

Math: Today, we played a dice game where the students practiced adding and subtracting integers. It was challenging, but a lot of fun!

Geography: The class took notes over landforms and then we began reading from our book. There were a lot of questions about the sun, moon, Earth, the solar system, other planets, etc. It was a great discussion and I was glad to see them so curious! We will continue learning about the Earth tomorrow, but we will need to focus on latitude and longitude lines, the seasons, and time zones.

EIGHTH GRADE

Pre-Algebra: Multiplying Scientific Notation. I made a video and it is uploading to SwickeyTube now! I will embed it here when it is available. It's done, so here you go!


Algebra I: Order of Operations using the distributive property. I also made you a video! Here it is:




See you all tomorrow,

Mrs. Swickey
