Week of 11/28 - 12/2

Welcome back!  Hope you all had a nice Thanksgiving.  Here is this weeks Table of Contents:  Download TOC_2010_2011_week_3.3

There are several handouts this week -

Monday 11/28: Download Handout_ 11_28

Tuesday/Wednesday - students are given an assignment today/tomorrow that involves making squares then finding the area so that they can find the side length.  Part of the instructions for their assignment is NOT to go home and ask an older sibling or parent to help them do the assignment.  I do not want you to show the child another way of doing the problem.  This assignment is an introduction to a unit that we will be spending the rest of this six weeks covering.  iT IS IMPORTANT THAT THEY HAVE A CLEAR UNDERSTANDING OF THIS CONCEPT.  Thank you for your cooperation. Here is some dot paper if it is needed to complete the assignment:  Download Square dot paper

Week of 11/7 - 11/11

This is only a four day week - student's will not have school on Friday November 11th - for Veteran's day.  We will be following an A/B/A/B schedule this week.

There is not going to be a TOC - this is the last week of the 2nd six weeks.

Monday/Tuesday: Student's will be taking their six week test.  your review is due the day you take the test.

Wednesday/Thursday: This is catch-up day - students will be completing/finalizing all projects or assignments that are still open for turning in.

Week of 10/31 - 11/4

This week there is no Table of Contents

Monday:  Quiz on Indirect Measurement, Scale Drawings and Models and Scientific Notation - it was a short quiz.

Tuesday/Wednesday: - Students were doing their Portfolio Assessment (this is gathering various materials from the six weeks and answering some reflective questions about the six weeks) and finishing up their Quilt Projects.

Thursday/Friday: Students will be completing a review for their Six Week Test next Monday/Tuesday - next week is only a 4 day week so it will be an A/B/A/B schedule.  They must turn in their review when they take the six week test.  The test is cummulative so if a student passes (70+) then it can replace one of the other assessment grades that is lower.
