Math & Science Update

Wow...am I ever impressed with your microscope skills!!  Was awesome to just listen to your comments today as you hunted for the unicellulars!  Great work--you make me proud.

Monday there was an open-book assessment on ratios/unit rates...these were marked and reviewed with students on Tuesday.

Please check in on your converting between fractions/decimals/percents etc...we have been reviewing this very important skill set for the last couple of days.  Today, students were asked, via an exit slip, for their honest opinion as to how they were feeling with these conversions.  If you have a chance to check in with your adults around this important issue, please have the conversation...your adults would love to hear how you are feeling about your Math.  Adults, thanks for your support around this.

Take care...not quite sure what our afternoon will be like tomorrow with the online awareness presentation but we'll be flexible and see how the day flows.

Math & Science Update

Please make sure that your math journals are organized, neat, and complete for the open notebook assessment on Monday.

You have 2 sets of textbook homework with #1 being more important than #2...when you finish your assessment on Monday, you can finish HW #2.

#1  p. 67-69 #4, 5, 9-12, 16-23, 25, 27, 28
