This week in Math 8 we will be reviewing the number system, then applying those concepts to compare and order numbers on a number line, and solve problems.
This week in Math I we will be focusing on applying mathematical properties to solve multi-step equations and inequalities. The students will be creating their equations and applying to stories created by them
It is important for both classes that students review their notes daily, and practice applying their vocabulary terms to everyday activities.

This week in ELA we will continue to explore theme, conflict, and plot elements. Students will be challenged as they apply concepts and learn to provide textual evidence to support a literary analysis. On Tuesday, I will also be introducing the independent reading component of our ELA class. Last week all students checked out a library book from the media center. They should be reading at minimum 20 minutes a day, four times a week. On Thursday, we will have our first vocabulary quiz of the year. I have created a Quizlet study set for your child to study. You can access this through our class Edmodo page. Late this week your child will also be receiving their first formal writing assignment.
