Weekly News

This week in Math we will be finishing up our mini-unit on Pythagorean Theorem. Last week we found out how to use the theorem to solve problems of various types, and we proved the theorem as well. This week we are going to be given 3 side lengths and we have to use the Pythagorean Theorem to determine whether or not those 3 sides make a right triangle or a different kind of triangle.

In Science we are going to be finishing up our unit on Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration. We will be completing a review as well as a unit test during the week. Don't forget that since we have Science and Math MEAP this week, we will not be having science on Tuesday and Wednesday.

Any questions? Feel free to ask!

Weekly News

This week in Math we will be starting Unit 6 -- Pythagorean Theorem. The Pythagorean Theorem is a formula that is used to find the length of any missing side of a right triangle, as long as you have measurements for 2 of the 3 sides.

In Science we will continue working on our mini-unit on Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration. We will be taking our Reading MEAP test on Tuesday and Wednesday morning, so we will not be completing Science on those days.

Do not forget to check out your grade on engrade (www.engrade.com). We have about 4 more weeks until the end of the first quarter, so you will want to make sure your grades are where they should be. You have only a limited time to improve those grades!

Happy October!

This week in Math, we will be finishing up Unit 5. On Monday we are going to look at graphs that are designed to mislead you and determine ways that people make graphs to make the data look different than what it really should look like. On Tuesday we will have a review for Embedded Assessment #2. Wednesday is the Quiz (Embedded Assessment). On Thursday we will have a review of the whole unit, with the Unit Test being on Friday.

In Science we are going to start a unit on Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration. Although we have talked about Photosynthesis in the past, this mini-unit will really go in-depth with this topic and how plants make their food.

Last Friday everyone received a username and password to be able to find out their grade at any time. Have you checked out your grade yet? Remember, everyone must bring the bottom of their paper back signed on Monday and if you logged in to see your grade and can tell me your Math and Science grade so far, you will receive extra credit!
