February 28 - March 4

This week sure got away from me!  I was talking to a parent about my blog and being able to find the homework assignments on here when I realized I had not posted the assignments for the week.  You all know how hectic my life has been because of the issues with my mom's health.  Yes, she is still in the hospital be we are hoping she gets moved to Dillon Living Center soon!!

Here are the assignments for the week, just in case you have missed some of them!

Monday - area of parallelograms worksheet
Tuesday - area of triangles worksheet
Wednesday - area of trapezoids worksheet
Thursday - circumference of circles worksheet
Friday - area of circles worksheet

I know how much you love worksheets - just get them done!!

February 21

Welcome to a new week!  I'm sitting here at the hospital with my mother, knowing that you are all cooperating and working hard for my substitute.  I really appreciate your patience as I help my mother through this tough period, knowing that she will be here for a long time....

There are a lot of you that have been absent (I'm assuming out sick) and have a lot of catching up to get done.  Remember, you can always look for your homework assignments on this blog and/or on PowerSchool in order to stay caught up with your work.

Monday - review
Tuesday -test on chapter 10
Wednesday - begin chapter 11 on perimeter
Thursday - area of squares and rectangles
Friday - area of parallelograms

Most of the assignments in chapter 11 are going to be worksheets.....I know how much you enjoy worksheets rather than assignments out of the book.  Just something to look forward too!!

Happy Valentine's Day.  I'm ready to get another week started and we are going to be spending some time on Geometry!!  Many of these concepts you will already know, we just need to review and refresh.  Just you wait....some more difficult concepts are coming your way, soon!

Please, please, please - if you get on the computers, work on add, subtract, multiply, and divide both decimals and fractions!!!  Lots of practice - IXL!

Are you ready to move on to geometry?  We will be ending chapter 8 this week and will be starting a lot of work on geometry concepts.  Make sure you have your calculator with you at all times!

We should have a fairly smooth week, unless another storm comes in as predicted.  Snow day????

Monday is a review followed by a test on Tuesday of chapter 8 - statistics!!
Wednesday is a review followed by the third Common Assessment on Thursday and Friday.

Hope you are prepared for tests this week.  Please come see me for extra help if you need it on any of the material we are covering.

Okay, so it has been a couple of weeks since I posted something on here.  I figured I better hurry up and get some information on here about assignments for this week and where we are headed.  Last week was so short with no school on Monday and then an "ice" day on Thursday.  I'm not complaining!!!

We are starting to work on Statistics (chapter 8) in our book.  We are going to be looking at a variety of ways to organize data and also ways to interpret data.  Some of the information you will probably already know and be able to do....however, there will be some new ways of displaying data for you to learn!!

I hope you all had a great Christmas and a Happy New Year and are ready to get back to school!!  I know it is going to be difficult when that alarm clock starts ringing in the morning, but jump out of bed and show up ready to learn!  Did you get your resolutions made?  Have you kept them so far?

We are going to spend the next week continuing our exploration of proportions in the form of scale factor and scale drawings.  You will be using your structure project that you completed "last year" on a famous structure.  Believe it or not, we will also have a "test" his week!!


Jan. 4 - Scale Factor
Jan. 5 - Scale Drawing
Jan. 6 - Review and story problems
