Greetings! Students will be starting the week by completing a poster project associated with Lesson 17 relating tape diagrams to algebraic solutions. These last lessons of Module 2 which make up Topic C will be a great introduction to our upcoming Module 3 - Expressions & Equations. Students will use properties of operations that have been previously discussed (Commutative, Associative, Distributive) in order to write equivalent expressions. We will also discuss investments and balance sheets and will use our knowledge of positive and negative numbers and key words such as gain/loss, deposit/fee in order to accurately calculate an ending balance.
Parents - check out what we will be discussing in Topic C HERE. Students will be receiving grade sheets for math this week detailing the first 3 grades they have received thus far this trimester (this is an informal report just prior to IPR grades). Please make sure they are signed and returned to school as soon as possible. Keep an eye out on Remind for the exact date they will be coming home. This week's Quizizz code is 291492. Many students did a great job creating questions for our quiz this week. Good luck students! As always, the quiz is due by Thurs. night and students may attempt the quiz as many times as they would like in order to try and score a 100%. Each Friday for the past 3 weeks students have been watching videos on as well as discussing Growth Mindset. For those not familiar with Growth Mindset, there are lots of resources on the topic and I even have it as a tab in my website (here). It is so important for students to understand that it is ok to make mistakes, as long as they do not give up and keep trying! That is how our brains grow! There are some famous failures we talk about such as Michael Jordan, J.K. Rowling, Albert Einstein etc. who all had their own struggles in life, but overcame these to go on to achieve great things! Here is a link for the last video we watched (the third in a series of 5). This is a great topic to discuss with your student at home as well! Upcoming Key Dates: Thurs 10/10 - Picture Day Fri 10/11 - Progress Reports go home with students Fri 10/11 - P.T.O. N.U.T. Day Sat 10/12 - Fall Fesetival Have a great week!
