The other four days will be Math Facts in a Flash and Accelerated Math. Students are progressing well!
No homework in Math Skills!!!!

Math Skills- No homework. Students will work on Chrome Books in class using Math Facts in a Flash and Accelerated Math. This will be everyday until further notice.
Science 8
Our overall unit is Earth Science. Currently we are studying the four subsystems of the Earth, Atmosphere, Biosphere, Geosphere, and Hydrosphere.
The three assignments for this week were:
1. Lesson 1-1 and 1-2
2. Education
3. Details and visual of the four subsystems. This was due today so is not in Power
School yet.
Week of September 22, 2014
1. Monday we will continue with the systems and whether they are open or closed. We will also continue with the open closed chart. Due Tuesday.
2.Earth Systems Science handout (Can you get the idea systems are important?) :-) This will be a two day assignment.
Donations of Kleenex would be greatly appreciated.
Students need a three ring binder and colored pencils, if they wish. I have some but not all of the colors they like.
I had knee replacement surgery August 6th so did not start the year. My surgeon is amazed at my progress and I returned to school September 8th, two weeks earlier than she would have predicted.
