Test day anxiety? Don't worry about it!

Hello my darlings -

Today was a great day for both 6ers and 7ers. 7ers took their second task on translations which is coupled with the task from yesterday to combine together to create a portfolio eligible assignment. We spent the last bit of the period finishing our episode of House, MD. Tomorrow you will do some CRCT review and if we get finished you will get a treat for working so hard.

6ers, today we spend the period discussing our magic triangle AND getting feedback from ALL of our weather project sheets. These revisions are due on MONDAY! No later

If you need assistance with severe weather information go to www.weatherwizkids.com

REMEMBER TO CITE YOUR SOURCES!

Also, I just wanted to let you know that I have so much faith in you! You will all do so wonderfully on this test. I know as a large scale test approaches many of us feel anxious or overwhelmed. Remember that you are all very smart, talented and capable of using your reasoning skills to answer questions you may not recognize. It is true that we did not get to all of the standards this year, but we did lots of cool projects and I am positive that all of you know the material we covered in class very well!

With that being said, if you want some CRCT practice you can click on this link AND you should be going through old IXL standards to review standards we covered in the past.

7ers tonight I re-assigned IXl standards E3, E5 and E9. Get all of those standards up to 100 by Sunday! They are review of negative numbers!

Until tomorrow gang!

Tuesday!

Hi gang,

Whew! What a day of new and amazing information! 7ers, you did a fantastic job in the computer lab learning about translations. Remember what we talked about at the end of the class period today. Click below on the picture for a review of translations and reflections. Tomorrow you are going to have a 'What do you know" in class on reflections and MAYBE translations. Things to remember ARE what does the y=x line of symmetry look like, and the y=-x line of symmetry look like? What happens to a geometric shape when you translate it only on the x axis, on the y axis and both!>!??!?!!

Tomorrow you will have to show me your knowledge of both of these in order to obtain ANOTHER portfolio eligible assignment. Congratulations to ELLA who has the most in our class!! WOOHOOO.

Also a VERY BIG SHOUT OUT to Hunter who was featured on a blog by the owner of Bucketfeet (a very cool shoe company) for his designs on shoes. Click below to read more!

Monday after spring break! Are you refreshed?!?!?

Hi my darlings! What a great day! In 6th grade we talked about the magic pyramid. remember if you have the part and the whole but need to find the percentage you MULTIPLY! If you have the whole of something like the RDI for Vitamin D and you want to figure out how much is in a serving of Special K and you know it is 15% of your RDI then you MULTIPLY! More on this tomorrow!!

7ers -- as we continue the body systems project I want to say that you are doing a GREAT job. If you need any other documents then you should check the post from the week before spring break for the post! EVERYTHING FOR THE BODY SYSTEMS PROJECT IS DUE FRIDAY APRIL 15th! NO IFS ANDS OR BUTS! GET IT DONE!

Ok gang, get ready for the field trip tomorrow! Until then Adios!
