Homework and Announcements
2/24/2020
Happy Monday! This is my last week as your teacher prior to my maternity leave. I can honestly say that while I am going to enjoy this time with my kids, I will truly miss teaching each and every one of you. It's even hard for me to look at the upcoming units and see the really cool math that you get to explore without me. All of you have made this a great school year!
That said, I am also excited to be leaving you in such good hands. We are extremely lucky to have Mrs. Loftis taking my place while I'm gone. Not only is she an experienced math teacher, but she is kind and patient and I have no doubt you will have a great end to the school year. Being my last week, here are some things you should know. First, I will be finalizing trimester 2 grades before I leave, so this Thursday will be the final day for any retakes or missing work to be submitted. Please make sure you have a plan. Second, this will likely be the last post you see on this website and I will be archiving the Remind classes. If you need to contact Mrs. Loftis, her email address is [email protected]. Here is my review of the upcoming week: Math 6 We are going to be doing another mini-unit, this time reviewing decimal operations. Instead of starting a new unit with only a couple weeks to go, I opted to fill in the space with a few topics that tend to get skipped by the end of the year. This also will allow Mrs. Loftis to pick up next week with a brand-new unit. The unit she will begin with you is a rendition of our Variables and Patterns book which dives into everything you need to know about expressions and equations in 6th grade. This week we will reviewing decimal operations (adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing) and I will be incorporating a few project-based assignments. Your only homework is MathXL. Math 7 This week, we are taking the time to go back to percentages. Many of you did fantastic on the unit test, but there were also a great number of students who needed more time to comprehend the material. We will be spending the next few days doing some additional activities and problems in order to explore percentages further and then take a retake on Thursday . NOT ALL OF YOU WILL TAKE THE RETAKE. As I mentioned, many of you already earned a great score on the original test, so you will not be required to retake. I will have another activity prepared for you. Your only homework is MathXL.
