Hello everyone! I apologize for my blogging absence last week. No excuses, time just got away from me, and when I realized Thursday that I had not communicated with you as to the weeks events, I gave up. But I am starting fresh this week and reporting early!
This week in math we will continue working with factors and fractions. This weeks lessons will focus on finding common denominators and reducing fractions to simplest terms. Those students who have mastered these skills will be given alternate assignments while the others continue to practice. I hope to give the Unit 11 test next week, probably Tuesday. Check the blog calender for updates.
I am also giving an extra credit extension project today that will be due next Monday. This project will be a little different from the past, as their is no actual "math" to do. This assignment requires students to interview an adult as to their uses of math in their everyday lives and careers. Students will then take these answers and write a paper stating what they have learned. Typing preferred!
In writing this week students will be finishing up their research papers and typing those. Papers are due Friday!
We will have spelling this week. Check the blog for a list of words.
On Friday we will take MAPS test for math in the morning. Please make sure your student has a good breakfast and full night's rest. We want to make sure they can show what they have learned and the progress they have made throughout the year.
