5th Week of the 2nd Six Weeks

This is the last week of the second six weeks! That means we have six weeks test scheduled throughout the week, so please don't be absent if it isn't absolutely necessary. 

We will be doing percent stations on Monday as a final class assignment before our review on Tuesday. The math test will be on Wednesday November 2nd. 

I will quickly introduce and practice simple interest with you this week, before moving on to similar figures next week.

Let us finish this six weeks strong!

4th Week of the 2nd Six Weeks!

This six weeks is a short one only consisting of 5 weeks, which means we only have two more to go! This week will be a very hectic one, so make sure the time we do have in class is very productive. 

I am hoping to introduce simple interest this week, which in my opinion is a very simple and straight forward lesson. I will introduce new vocabulary and show you how to solve it using a formula found on your STAAR reference materials.

2nd Six Weeks!!!

Let's make this brand new six weeks even better than the last! We have gotten to know each other better, and you know what we expect of you, so make the necessary adjustments! 

This week we will be using proportions to convert measurements! Once we all feel comfortable with converting between metric and customary systems, we will move on to percent increase and decrease.

I will be there waiting for you outside, if I am not there yet (if you show up extra early), your parents need to wait until you see me.
