Weekly News

This week in Math we will begin our unit on operations with fractions. This week, we will spend time working on how to add, subtract, multiply, and divide fractions. It is EXTREMELY important that students use the step-by-step notes on how to complete each operation because each one has different steps and it is easy to confuse them with each other. Students may use their foldable on ALL assignments this week, so please make sure you have yours!

In Science we are going to finish our unit on rocks. We will finish our discussion of the rock cycle from the game we played last Tuesday. We will then talk about manufactured vs. real gems before reviewing for the test later in the week!

In Advisory this week, we are going to continue working on our requirements for our second trimester exhibition work. If students can get all their information on temperature, ethnicity, religion, and languages spoken, they will be given the opportunity to make their graphs using Microsoft Excel, in class. I am hoping (fingers crossed) that the students will do well enough during the week to be able to go to the library on Friday so students can get books on their country. Lets make it a good week so we can do that, okay?

I hope everyone had a fantastic Thanksgiving Break -- I will see you all tomorrow!
