5th grade Science

The fifth graders should have finished Comp Check 2.4 today in class.  We had a special visitor today.  Emi's mom brought their rabbit for the class to see.

7th grade math

Hi!  We worked on two lessons today.  The assignments for today is L. 27 Practice Set all and Mixed Practice 3, 5, 7, 9, 13, 21-26 AND L. 28 - Practice Set all and Mixed Practice 1, 3, 7 ,8, 22, 24.  The students seem to understand the material very well, yet miss a lot on their homework.  I don't know if they are over-confident in their skills or what, but they need to demonstrate their superior knowledge of the material by doing well on their homework.

Thanks,
Mrs. Wilson

5th grade Science

We reviewed the quiz they took yesterday.  Most of the students did very well.  Then we came up with an outline for the Review of Literature for the class science fair project.  We also spoke about the Science Fair Summer Camp that I run each summer.  Some of the students seemed quite encouraged that they could get their project done for next year during the summer.  Information will come out about the camp in April. 

For homework they were assigned to ready section 2.4.

Thanks,
Mrs. W

The assignment for 7th grade is to do the practice problems for L. 26 and the supplemental practice problems at the back of the book for L. 26 on page 862.

Thanks,

4th Grade Science

Hi Parents.  The students had a quiz today upon which they all did a great job.  I sent home three worksheets for them - just fun stuff that we are currently working on.  That is all they have for homework.

Have a great weekend.

Mrs. W

5th grade Science

There is no homework for 5th grade this weekend.  One of the classes was visited by a beautiful black cat named Lex Luthor, and the other class had a mouse visitor named Salt.  Good thing they didn't visit the same class!!

Mrs. W

7th grade math

Hi Parents.  The assignment for the weekend is L. 23, #1-6, 11, 12, 14, 16-23 and 26-29.  Please encourage you students by any method possible to do all their rework.  They cannot get points back until it is all correct.

Have a wonderful weekend.

Mrs. W.

4th Grade Science

Hi parents;
There is a quiz tomorrow on pages 26 - 39.  We went over all the terms and then some.  They can use a few different methods to study. They can use note cards to write out terms and concepts, re-read each section, study the comprehension checks and make sure they know the right answers.  I hope they all do well.

Thanks,
Mrs. W

5th grade Science

Today we chose a science fair project to do as a class.  We are going to microwave seeds for increasing amounts of time and see if the microwaves have an effect on the growth of the seeds.  Homework for tonight is Comp Check. 2.2.

Have a great day,
Mrs. W

7th grade math

Several of the students did poorly on L. 21 so we went over it in class.  I am finding that some of the difficulty is in understanding what the questions are asking and jumping in to solve before they have carefully read the entire problem.  I encouraged them strongly to take the extra few seconds to come to a more thorough understanding of each problem before diving in.  Some of the students didn't do all parts of the problem.  This is just carelessness.  If there is a way you can help them take a little more time with their math, that would be very helpful.  Their homework for tonight is L. 22.

Thanks,
Mrs. W

4th grade science

The fourth graders had library time today so we didn't have science class.

7th grade math

No homework tonight.  They would work on rework.  One student asked me if she had to do rework.  For some reason, it didn't really make a difference if she went from an 82% to a 91% - a C to a B.

4th Grade Science

Hi Parents.  The students are to read section 2.8 and do the comprehension check.  Some of them finished this in class.  Please be sure they are writing complete sentences turning the question into a statement which then contains the answer.  If the question says to define, they just write the word and use the glossary definition.  If the instruction is to list something, then they can just list.

Thanks,
Mrs. W

5th grade science fair

Hi Parents.  Please don't start hyperventilating and faint.  Fifth grade is starting a class science fair project today.  As a class, I will take the students step by step through the process of doing a SFP so they can do their own in the spring.  We will do most of the work in class for the first one, and some of the work in the class for the second one.  They will all be contributing to the class project as I assign them.  They may need to type something at home.  I hope you will get behind me on this and help them get ready for the next three years.  I will keep you informed by this blog as to what is coming up.

Mrs. W

Seventh grade Math

Today the students took a test; therefore there is no homework.  They should work on the rework for L. 20

Assignments will be posted here

This is new to me so I hope you will bear with me while I figure it out.  I will be posting assignments here for all my classes each day so that students can access this page when they are sick, absent, or miss class for some other reason.  I hope this is helpful.
