Assignment Checklists, Parent Letters

It was good to see everyone again for math after so many weeks! Students did a great job presenting their Stretching and Shrinking unit projects.

Students also heard about plans to start small group work in our math classes 3 days a week with our learning specialists Cory Semonsen and MaryBeth Ventura. Letters to parents were handed out with details about the new plans, as well as with information about the new unit we are starting tomorrow, Comparing & Scaling: Ratios, Proportions, & Percents. You can download the letter at the links above.

For homework, students should go through their notebooks and fill out as much as possible of the assignment checklist as they can. Any problems of the week, math reflections, or corrected quizzes already turned in are at school in your file. You can download a copy of the handout here.

For extra credit, students can bring in an advertisement that uses quantitative survey data comparing their product to other products. An example would be: "5 out of 6 dentists recommend ShinyWhite toothpaste!"

Due tomorrow, Wednesday, January 20.
