Week of 11/14

I am excited to be traveling with the 8th grade class to Washington D.C. this weekend. So far it looks like we will have nice weather. A big thank you to Mrs. Maass for planning such a wonderful trip and inviting me!

Next week all classes will be taking the Trimester 1 Test. This is a worksheet that has 25 problems covering all the concepts the students have learned so far. This is only going to be worth 25 points and we are doing a review the day before. There will not be any surprises.

Once the Trimester test is out of the way Course 2 students will be working with customary units and conversions. Pre-Algebra students will be starting chapter 5. Just a warning chapter 5 has a lot of vocabulary!
