Happy Holidays!

Be safe! See you in the New Year! :)

Holiday Break!

At the end of this week, we will go on winter break, but we still have several things going on at school that will require our attention so make sure you are at school. You don't want to come back in January, and realize you are already behind. The first thing of major importance is the review of our six weeks test. We need to understand if and where we went wrong and why. We also need to self evaluate and start taking advantage of Saturday tutorials. If there are concepts that you have not mastered, we will be reviewing them in tutorials, make sure to be there. I will be calling parents this week to make them aware of my recommendation for some of you to be here on Saturdays. Take it upon yourself to be there, without me having to pick up the phone. Remember, once we come back from break in January, we will have 3 months till you math kiddos have your test! Let's make those Saturdays count. 

Reminders: 

-Attendance counts. Be at school. 

-Donate toys for our toy drive. 

-2nd period social on Friday. Bring snacks. 

-Early release Friday!  (Star Wars premiere!)

Tests! Tests! Tests!

This week we will be trying out a few different review strategies for our upcoming six weeks exam, which will be this Friday! The exam will cover all topics from the third six weeks. Be sure to take home your interactive notebooks and review review review! Have a great week! 

Welcome Back!

Welcome back everyone! Did you miss me? I sure did miss you! Let's get right to it. Within the next few weeks, we will be wrapping up our unit on linear equations so you can probably guess what will be on your 3rd six weeks exam. Don't forget progress report night is this Wednesday at peter piper pizza! :) Dojo Points for all who come! 

Also, this Saturday is Super Saturday! Come enrich your mind in Math & Algebra! :)

Happy Thanksgiving!

Have a safe holiday kids! Get plenty of rest and try not to miss my class too much! :)

Wrap up before the holiday!

This week we will be wrapping up our unit on volume of cylinders, cones, and spheres. Remember, we will be having a quiz over volume on Wednesday and start the vocabulary for our next topic, surface area. 

 

Countdown to the Holidays!

Our first holiday break is fast approaching! Be sure to come to school and pay attention in class so you can enjoy the break, worry free. This week we will be dissecting linear graphs and learning all the vocabulary associated with them. First up, slope, also known as the rate of change (from 7th grade). The slope of a graph tells us the steepness of a line and whether the rate of change is increasing or decreasing. Make sure you come to school everyday, so you don't miss out!

Reminders:

- Bus safety presentation on Monday at 9 am
- This is the 1st week of the 3rd six weeks, clean slate, lets make it count! Let go of  habits, and set higher goals!
