We took an Inquiry Test on the first three readings this past Thursday. Students will receive their scores this coming week. We will continue our exploration of goal-setting and decision-making in our Workshop One by reading "We Beat the Street".

They will also be shown how to access Expert Space, the online component of Expert 21.MATHEMATICS:
Accelerated Math: We will continue to work on Chapter 3 next week. All students will receive their test back on Friday October 4th. Please review test with your child and sign the exam. They can receive up to half of the points that they lost. There will be a Spiral Review Quiz on Monday. Have a nice weekend!Math 7: We started Chapter 2 this week and will continue to work on it next week. All students need to practice all operations with fractions and Integers. They took their first exam this week. I plan to give it back early next week. There will be a Spiral Review quiz on Monday. Have a nice weekend!
SCIENCE:
Next week in science, we will visit the library to begin
preliminary research for science fair/symposium projects. Students will be required to conduct a
controlled experiment, where all factors are held constant except the variable
being tested. Students will be given the choice to work alone, with a partner, or
in a group of three. Every student must
get their project topic approved, in writing, by me before they begin any
experimentation. Students will also be required to get parent approval prior to
the experiment. Informational packet, rubric, and deadline benchmarks will be
sent home soon.
