SIXTH GRADE

We worked on a class activity today. The class worked in pairs to determine the fastest talker! It required a lot of arithmetic and the class worked very well and understood how to find each answer easily. It was a bit noisy, but for the most part, a good kind of noisy! Ask your child who the fastest was. There is no homework!

SEVENTH GRADE

Math: Today, the class used the whiteboards to practice working division and multiplication problems and then we did some mental math exercises.

Geography: We started making our models of globes using papier mache. They were a bit messy, and I apologize for any unplanned loads of laundry you may have had to do this evening! But the class had a great time. We will continue working on them for the next day or two.

EIGHTH GRADE

Pre-Algebra: Today we reviewed conversions between percents, fractions, and decimals. It was a rather easy assignment and was really meant to make sure they remembered how to do them. We are gearing up to begin our new pre-algebra curriculum in earnest.  The homework is a quick review worksheet.

Algebra I: Today, the class took notes on the properties of numbers. There is no homework.

See you tomorrow!
