One Month Down

Alg 1-  We began working on fuctions and tables this week which is a new concept for the students but they have done very well.  Right now we are working on the Chapter 1 review clearing up any questions that we come across.  There will be a Chapter 1 test on Wednesday September 8th. 

Geometry-  This week in geometry we discussed angles and different types of triangles.  This has mainly been a review but new material is just around the corner.  Next week we will focus on polygons and spend some time on area and perimeter of shapes.  By the end of the week we will  be ready to start reviewing chapter 1 preparing for our chapter one test sometime around the middle of the following week. 

Consumer Math-  We have had a very eye opening week in consumer math discussing interest rates, mortgages, and cost of living issues.  I am working with First Community Bank organizing a series of lessons where they will come in to our classroom and give us a more in depth view of banking.  This will be very beneficial for the students. 

PE-  We are in the middle of our Choosing the Best Path program conducted by Shay Lock.  She is providing some great information.  We will finish up this program next Thursday and regular PE will resume the following week. 

Have a great Labor Day weekend!!
