Weekly News

This week in Math we are going to spend most of our time looking at graphs -- primarily box and whisker plots, stem and leaf plots, and scatterplots. Students will learn how to make them, read them, and analyze them. We will also review the measures of central tendency, as they relate to these different graphs.

In Science we will be continuing our review of Life, Physical, and Earth Science as we review for the MEAP test. Each day, we will focus on one of the major branches of science, reviewing 4 major concepts within each branch. This is an intense review since it covers material learned in 5th - 7th grades, so students are strongly urged to stay focused and take notes to review all this information as weeks get closer to MEAP testing in October.

In Advisory we will continue spending our time reviewing math concepts from last year. Using the pre-test that was taken the first week of school, students will have the opportunity to ask questions regarding any information they are unsure of. Again, as with science, it will be in the students best interest to come to class focused and take notes on anything that is new to them, so they can review it before MEAP.

Any questions? Feel free to contact me, or leave a message under this post!

    Tyre, that quiz is not a homework quiz, it is a quiz over probability and box and whisker plots. You will be able to use some notes though

    Hello Mrs. Perez I am Mrs. Smith's (Tyre's mom) assistant...she would like to know if Wall Street is an option for the students, if they would like to stay. Or if it's only when they miss an classroom assignment? Please advise. Thanks

    I apologize for not returning the email Kim, but I wanted to check with our principal before responding. Last year, at the beginning of the year it was allowed for students to stay if they chose to, but then we found that students that didn't have to be there distracted those that did have to be there so the rule changed. I have emailed our principal but haven't heard a response yet. I didn't want you to think in was not responding on purpose but definitely will let you know once she responds
