Happy Tuesday!

Today we started working on adding negative numbers. Negatives is a tricky concept, so we are starting off small. It is important that they grasp this part because we will be building on it all year long. We also reviewed sentences with indirect objects.

Happy Snowy Monday! (It is WI after all.) We checked out a video on climate change today. We also were very inclusive in math. We started the Christmas Carol as a play we are reading aloud. (Yea, we are a little behind this year . . .) Paul made it to Jerusalem today, and as predicted, bad things happened.

Happy Friday to you all.  Today we did an investigation for math. Those who had watched the video ahead of time were able to get right to it and finish before the end of math. Those who didn't, got the chance to watch it today but may not have gotten time to finish it. We also got to watch Where the Red Fern Grows today.

Math videos for Friday, January 27th

It's a wild, snowy, sloppy Wednesday out there. It wasn't snowy inside, but it was a bit wild. We had a tough time using our study time effectively today. We also decorated our rocks for Christian Education week. Add to that a tech issue in another room and it was a bit of a day. We did take a look at the area and perimeter of a parallelogram. We also discussed indirect objects, which led to a review of direct objects. Then we discussed how to do quotations. Oh yes, additionally we reviewed how wind affects climate.

It's Tuesday! Not sure why that deserves an exclamation point, but there it is. We took our math test today, and we averaged a C+, with 5 people in the A category. Not too bad, but some room for growth. We also heard about to drama opportunities for 7th and 8th grade coming up soon. In other news, we had a sub for art since Mrs. Kemnitz is having some foot surgery done and needs to stay off her feet for a while. Our Eastern Europe map test was today as well. We took that right after the math test and we averaged a C-. However, we had 8 people get A's. This one seemed to be a case of studied/didn't study. I wasn't planning on doing a map test for all of Europe, but I would be willing to offer that as an opportunity for students who want a chance to up their grade. Have them speak to me about it if desired.

We did a pretest for math today in preperation for the test tomorrow. I corrected all of the ones that were handed in early enough. Students should look ever the pretest and make sure they are ready to go for the real deal tomorrow.

We also took our last MAP test today (barring a few make up tests students have to do).
