Pre-Algebra learned about mean, median, and mode this week. They also started solving one step equations involving decimals.  They will also be having a test next week on Thursday.  


I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend.

 Wow the weeks are flying by.  


This week 6th grade had a test on multiplication.  They did well for the most part.  Some of them need to work on multiplication facts still.  We are now starting division.  I have told them if they know multiplication facts it will make division easier.


Pre-Algebra finished our chapter on one step equations and inequalities.  They had their second test today.  Next week we will be working on mean, mode and median.  We will also be solving one step equations involving decimals.  


As always, thank you for allowing me to be a part of your students life.

 Don't forget we do not have school Monday, February 15, 2021.


This week Pre-Algebra has been working on solving one step equations using addition and subtraction.  Next week we will solve one step equations using multiplication and division.  We will also be solving one step inequalities.  Students will be having their second test either next Friday or the following Tuesday.


6th grade has been working on multiplying.  If your student struggles with their multiplication facts please work with them on this.  It is very important that they know their facts up to 12. 


I hope everyone has a good long weekend.

Another week down.   Both classes had their first test this week.  Overall I was very happy with how they did.  Don't forget that next week is the ColorRun.  Friday will be a half day.  Please go online and register your student at funrun.com.


Our next chapter in 6th grade is dealing with all multiplication.  If your student struggles with their multiplication facts please work with them on theses.

What a crazy week.  Wishing the snow had stuck but maybe next time.  I have really enjoyed getting to know all the kiddos.  This week we have been busy learning.  

Pre-Algebra is still working on integers.  We are focusing on learning integer rules for addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.  If your student is struggling have them go on kahn academy and practice adding and subtracting integers this weekend.  

6th grade has worked on adding and subtracting decimals this week.  We have also looked at positive and negative numbers as well as Roman numerals.  They all said they liked the way we write numbers over having to write in Roman numerals.  

Both classes will be having their first tests before Friday of next week.  

Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend.

 And so we have begun Semester 2.

It has been fun getting to know my new students this week.  We have hit the ground running. 


6th grade has been working on place value and rounding.  We have also begun a review of addition and subtraction.


Pre-Algebra has worked with order of operations and evaluating expressions.  Next week we will begin learning about integers.  


If your student has study hall this 9 weeks please encourage them to bring something to work on as this is not a free period.  This is a great time to complete homework or work on projects that are due.  


I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend.
