Welcome to the blog!! I'm learning as I go. Check back frequently to track my progress.
Second quarter we focus on computation and algebra skills. We have started with a basic skills check to see what students are already good at. Our first topic was integers (positive and negative numbers) and we have worked in small groups on several assignments -- adding, subtracting, multiplying, dividing and doing combinations of these in the same problem . The final assignment asked students to create a small brochure summarizing the rules they use along with two examples for each of these tasks.
Note to parents: All the completed work on the integer unit has been graded and entered in PowerSchool -- students have been informed about any missing work and have been told what they should now do to substitute for missing items. If they need extra help -- tutoring is available virtually every day from 3:20 - 4:00
We have just formed our new small groups which will start working tomorrow (Thursday, Oct 22) -- the new topic is decimals.
