WKCE test week is here, and our big projects have come to an end. The focus this week is on getting ample rest and staying calm. No homework this week for core classes!
Advanced Math: Students were given their function assessment that was taken last week, and then we reviewed any questionable issues with today's assignment. Then we reviewed some brushed up on some fundamental math skills (mean, median, mode, how to use a protractor, how to read a ruler, ordering fractions). Some of the students felt they still needed some practice with ordering fractions. The worksheet that I stole some problems from is here: Ordering Fractions Worksheet. At the bottom of the webpage, there is also an answer key.
Language Arts: In Language Arts, students got a chance to see their grades on the final spooky story and business letter. Then we went into a independent reading activity that will zero in on the different types of questions that students are often asked after reading and the associated strategies involved with each sort of question. This activity will continue tomorrow.
Please let me know if you have any questions.

Do you hear that? It's a sigh of relief! Friday is here! Our City Planning unit has come to an end. Spooky stories and business letters are complete. First quarter is in its final moments. All of you have worked so hard, and I'm very proud of you! Here are some notes from class today:
Advanced Math: Today we discussed the homework and moved into 1.2. Homework for Monday is to finish 1.2 (if you didn't do so in class), and p. 13, 8-14.
No new homework or notes for Language Arts or Social Studies... Have a GREAT weekend!

Wow! November is here! The last couple months have flown by! The kids have been working hard and keeping busy for sure.
Advanced Math: Students continued 1.1, and the assignment is to finish 1.1 and do page 12, 1-7 (all--show your thinking!) Also, I put a note on Edmodo regarding study sessions. Please read that message if you are still interested in coming to a study session.
Language Arts: We are officially finished with our spooky story unit. Thank you to all the parents who came to hear their sons/daughters read their final masterpieces! The kids were pretty excited about our Spooktacular event. We had a few stragglers today, so we listened to them, discussed the strengths and weaknesses with the stories they heard, and then watched a couple of the short films that some of the students were unable to watch yesterday. These next few days, we will review the different kinds of questions and responses that come along with reading.
Social Studies: Our City Planning unit comes to an end tomorrow with a presentation in the auditorium at 11:00. Showcased presentations will be announced for the CC Pod at that time. Students should wear business/professional attire and be ready to present.
Have a great day!
