IMPORTANT

Skyward (the online gradebook) is down all day today.  I have graded all corrections and about half of the missing work and make-up work.  However, it cannot be entered into the gradebook until tomorrow.  So, please be patient with all your kids' teachers as this effects us all.  As far as math goes, if Skyward gets back up and running before tonight, I will try to enter ALL or as many grades as I can.  Hopefully, by tomorrow, the grades should be entered and final.  Thank you for your patience.

December 13

Today, we are having a catch up/make up day.  Grades were announced, missing assignment lists were given out, and annoucement was made that everything is due this Thursday.  That means corrections, late work, missing assignments, absent work, etc.  You can see the notes from today here.  I am planning to begin Unit 6: Measurement again AFTER Christmas break so that we can start fresh with less confusion.  So, please don't worry about 8-1/8-2 and 8-3/8-4.  These lessons will be retaught as if they have never seen it before.

Begin Unit 6:  Measurement

I will be gone for several days during the measurement unit.  We will learn the unit through the use of video lessons with substitutes and then review it with me when I return to school.  I will also do a quick review of measurement after Christmas break.  Today we are introducing Unit 6 and the homework (if not finished in class) is the Unit 6 Vocab.  You can print a copy here.
