6th grade quiz moved to Friday
Hello all,
I decided to move the 6th grade Ch. 4 quiz to this Friday. We started Least Common Multiple (LCM) today and there were several confused faces in the room-this is what we will be spending most of our time covering the next few days. I also handed out a notecard sheet today, there are several vocabulary words on this quiz and all students should review these several nights in advance!
7th grade has a quiz next Thursday, 10/29 on Ch. 4 Sections 1-4.
Have a great rest of the week!

Hello to all,
I hope you are enjoying this beautiful weather! What a fantastic weekend, and no math homework either! :)
I will not be at school on Monday, but you will have plenty to work on in class. 6th grade students will receive their quiz review sheet on Monday, quiz is this Thursday. 7th grade you will work on Simplifying Fractions (4.3), then we will go back to 4.2 (GCF) on Tuesday. No tests for 7th grade this week. Both grades are continuing work in Chapter 4 this week.
Spirals will be passed out on Tuesday, due the following Tuesday.
I enjoyed talking with all of the parents at conferences, thanks so much for coming to meet with us. Please let me know if you have any questions!
Have a wonderful weekend and week!

6th grade & Ms. Guelfo's Kindergarten classes
Our 6th grade class visited Ms. Guelfo's class on Friday to "interview" and make line graphs based on these questions. Both classes seemed to enjoy themselves, the 6th graders did such a great job at talking with the kindergartners and enlisting their help in coloring in their graphs. Each 6th grader drew two graphs, Halloween costumes, and then Household pets.
The 6th graders surveyed 10 children to ask them 1) what they wanted to dress up as for Halloween and 2) how many pets/types of pets they had in their house. There were some very interesting answers! As they did this, I drew a sample bar graph on the board and asked the kindergartners if they could tell which houses had the most of which type of pet. Almost all of the kindergartners knew the answer was cat, when I asked why, they said it was because "that bar is the tallest." Pretty smart cookies!
Both classes hard at work.
Some brotherly love.
We had a great time and hope to partner with Ms. Guelfo's class in the future.

Hi all,
I hope that everyone had a great weekend in spite of this nasty weather! Lots of great football to watch, Go Tigers and Go Saints!!!! I was able to spend lots of time grading and all classes will get spirals, quizzes and tests back today. 7th graders did very well on their two-step equation tests, I am so proud of all of their hard work.
We are moving on to new sections/chapters this week.
6th grade we are starting Chapter 4- Number patterns and Fractions. We will cover all sections, I will give a quiz on the first few sections sometime next week, followed by a chapter test in the next couple of weeks. Spirals will go home on Tuesday, due the following Tuesday.
7th grade we are continuing with Solving and Graphing Inequalities this week (Ch. 3 sections 6 & 7) , quiz next week on this information. We will then move on to Chapter 4- Factors, Fractions and Exponents. We will cover all sections in this chapter.
Have a great week!
