In Mathematics, we will be taking the chapter 8 test on Monday for Blue, and Tuesday for Gold classes. This chapter includes ratios and proportions, which is difficult material. There is a study guide on pages 442-444 (skip sections 6,8,&9). It includes vocabulary, examples and questions. It is a great study tool, and is part of the assignment due on test day. Worksheet 8-8 is also due test day. Have a great weekend, and remember to study for the test!
In Science, the students just completed their “Race Car Speed Lab.” We are beginning our investigation of Newton’s three laws of gravity. We will have a small test next week over the speed portion of our unit and the basics of Newton’s Laws.
In Reading Exploratory, please make sure that your student is reading 100 minutes per week, writing three complete summaries, and having you sign the Reading Log (attached). Please have students proofread and edit their summaries if it is not their best work. There will be a reading log due every Friday.
