Today for math we work on prime factorization. We learned two different ways to find the prime factors, then we found the GCF using those prime factors. We also started a new book for our read Teacher Reads time. Good news, we did well on our math test yesterday. 

WE ARE GOING ON A FIELD TRIP NOVEMBER 7th. Look for the permission sip. We will eat a cold lunch at the location.

Monday comes so quickly doesn't it?  Some students commented on being up very late last night. Please encourage your students to get a good night's rest. Thanks!We started testing today with the reading test parts one and two. Tomorrow we plan to get some language arts tests in. Wednesday and Thursday will be the big test days. We tried to start our Prezsi's today, but since none of the people who were up today were ready, we had a lesson instead. I guess it is a good thing I didn't keep the due date on Friday! We will try again as soon as we are able.

Happy Friday! The students had a happy Friday since we smuggled the Chromebooks into the 7th grade room today and got everyone online and working. We did a few vocabulary games on the Vocabulary Workshop web site. Then we got down to business working on our Prezis and/or Living History  projects. I think we made some good progress both on the content and on using the technology. That also meant that we had less time to get assignments! Works out well with a beautiful weather weekend (and soccer tournament) ahead.

Don't forget, testing next week.

Back for more? Great! Today we went through the entire math pretest as a group. Hopefully that helps us pass our test on Monday. In science we talked more about atoms and protons, newtrons, and electrons. We then filled out a chart on the board on how these interact with one another. We then had a chance to do the sheet on our own. In Vocab Workshop we talked about how knowing root words can help us spell and define words. We also spent some time practicing our hymn.

Remember that tomorrow I am scheduling time to work on Living History night and Prezis. Please have your student bring anything he/she may need.

Happy Wednesday to you. On Friday we are going to be having a work day. We are going to take some time (not all day) to work on our Prezi and Living History projects. Since 8th grade will be gone at WLA, I am hoping we will be able to use the Chrome books to get some work done on both projects. It will also give me a chance to monitor how our network handles that much traffic at once. Please help remind your student to bring anything they may need to work on these such as a resource book. We will start presenting the Prezis on Monday.

Today we talked about area and using squares and square roots. We also started learning about Latin America.We mostly heard about lots of mountains and waterways. There was also an incident with a skunk in literature.
