November is off to a great start! I will be chaperoning the 8th grade Washington D.C. trip this weekend. This is a great trip for the students and teachers. I look forward to it every year.
That being said I am not sure if I will be able to grade the test that the students took today (Thursday) but I will have them done by Thursday of next week.
Course 2 is going to be beginning the wonderful world of percents. This is a good time to talk to your child about finding sale prices, tipping at restaurants and paying tax.
Course 3 will be continuing their exploration into transformations. Ask them to explain what they did/saw in the computer lab. We were able to use one of our new programs (Geometer's SketchPad) to explore transformations.
