SIXTH GRADE
We had a great second day in 6th grade math! I showed them how to do a mental math activity that everyone enjoyed and then the class worked on a review assignment - addition and subtraction of whole numbers. Only do the first three columns (a, b, & c) and then all of the word problems on the back. There is a small number 1 in the upper right corner. That tells me and the students that this was assignment #1. It's how I keep track of the homework and will prove very useful when students are absent or missing work.
We won't spend a lot of time reviewing and will be jumping into fractions and decimals very soon! Remember, if you didn't turn in your homework policy today, it is due tomorrow.
SEVENTH GRADE
Math - The class worked on a review assignment in class. Operations with whole numbers. We won't spend a lot of time reviewing and will be starting in with our first new unit very quickly!
Geography - We began reading a section in our textbook on the five themes of Geography. The class took notes. We will continue with this tomorrow. There is no homework.
EIGHTH GRADE
Pre-Algebra: We began reviewing fractions today. The students were struggling to remember the rules, so just be sure to always find a common denominator first! Please email me if you have any questions on the assignment. Also, be sure to have the homework policy signed and return it tomorrow if you can; Monday at the latest.
Algebra I: We jumped right in and started taking notes on the sets of numbers. Also, the class worked on integer operations. Be sure to finish the integer page, if you weren't done in class. We will finish notes on sets of numbers tomorrow.
See you all tomorrow!
