We will be finishing up Lesson 4 on Monday, reviewing on Tuesday and taking a quiz on Lessons 1 - 4 on Wednesday. The POW that you have been working on is due on Wednesday. Then we will be doing a project on linear equations and making brief presentations on Friday. Have a good vacation.

Week of January 20th

Four day week to finish up the second quarter. Wish that we had back those three days that we lost to the snow and icy roads, but they are gone. We will be doing Lesson 8 as we finish up Chapter 3. POW #8 is due on Wednesday and we will take the last SBR of the quarter on Thursday. Try not to miss any days of school this week and finish things up on a positive note. No Sunshine Math assignment, since it is a short week.

Week of January 13th

The plan is to have a full week of classes this week. Monday, a new Sunshine Math sheet will be passed out. Tuesday, the POW that they have been working on for a week is due. It should be printed out before they arrive for their math class. Wednesday is a half day and was supposed to be the Talent Show, but the show has been pushed back to February 5th. There will be shorten class, so a good day to take a 10 question quiz on Lessons 1 through 5. The Sunshine Math is due on Friday. Throughout the week, we will continue working our way through this chapter and are now up to Lesson 6.

Week of January 6th

Well, lets hope that we can have a full week of school this week. They are calling for rain, but the temperature should be warm enough so it won't be all ice on the way to school on Monday. Plan to pass out a new Sunshine Math sheet on Monday, due Friday. The next POW will be passed out on Tuesday, due the middle of next week. We will continue to work on slope and graphing equations. Six weeks till the next vacation. Stay warm.

Happy New Year

I hope that you have had a most enjoyable vacation and are eager to get back to school. I am going to be wearing my pink pants to school on Thursday, as I don't think that we will be having school on Friday, but we shall see. On Thursday, I will be passing out the next POW and will be doing more work with graphing equations. Keep that shovel handy.
