Dec 11 - 15 (crazy mixed up week)

This week is a crazy one.  I am not even sure what classes I see each day due to Band and Chorus events along with FFA.  I am going to give a brief overview of what each grade can expect because otherwise it would need to be an hour by hour update.

Grade 7:

I only see 2nd hour 2 days this week. 4th hour 3 days and 8th hour will not miss class.

We will begin studying proportions this week.  My 8th hour class will get some practice on topics we have covered this semester by practicing on IXL.  We will be testing December 20th over Ratios, Rates and Proportions.

Grade 8:

This week will be focused on solving systems of equations.  We will be solving them by graphing and substitution.  We will also spend some time reviewing topics we have studied this semester.

Algebra:

Mon:  Only 8 students will be in class.  We will review for the semester test.

My last post for 2011-2012 school year!

I hope you have found the blog useful to stay updated on assignments and activities going on in my classroom.  If you want to help your child prepare for next year, please have them practice math over the summer.  They all have access to IXL and can log in at anytime to stay current with their skills.  Practicing their basic facts, integers, order of operations and fractions will help them stay ahead of the game for next school year.  Do not let them get by with "I'm bored!!!!"  There are some cool math games out there for iPods, iPads and online.  Simply Google the topic and all kinds of options will come up.

I have enjoyed having your student in class!

Have a great summer!!!!
