Sorry, it's been forever !
A few updates are:
1. The 5th graders are doing videos about information on the oceans and we hope we can put them on School Tube when they are done . It's pretty entertaining ! One example is learning about the uses of algae from an "algaeologist" (new word).The 5th grade will be doing Quiz Bowl today - November 3rd.
2. We won the Card of the Day contest for the month of October in First in Math ! That means our team will be posted all month on their web site and we won some prizes of the games and some awards to give out. I play the Card of the Day for each team every day and it is entered into a contest. Yea - we won !!!!
3. Emily Robinson (5th grade) was the highest scorer for First in Math for first quarter. Second place was Kyle Jennet. Third place was Jay Wolfe and 4th place were Audrey Fyock and Itzayanna Rubio.I have gotten them Subway gift cards and we will have lunch together one noon - chicken from Pizza Ranch. Congratulations on all your hard work !
4. The 8th grade TAG Reading is starting on "Murder on the Orient Express" - a great old Agatha Christie book. It will be fun.
5. 7th grade Reading is doing "Hope Was Here" and sixth graders are finishing presentations about "Don't You Dare Read This Mrs. Dunphrey" which we are also doing as videos.
6. In Math. the 7th grade is doing a great unit on Number Theory - inequalities, primes, composites, exponents, number sets - all the odd little mathematical theories that we need to learn and keep in our mathematical "bag of tricks'. They are taking notes and practicing as we go. Today they will be doing some with exponents and Mersenne primes using the "Math' magazine featuring the Jonas Brothers. Hopefully that will inspire them !
Well, that is a little update. Contact us if you can ! More later.
