Have a Terrific Vacation!

Today, we did several things in class. First, we attended the holiday music assembly, featuring our band, orchestra and choir students. Next, we corrected homework and reviewed what the homework for January 4th is. Next, we took a trip to the computer lab and familiarized ourselves with the on-line state assessment test web site, and practiced answering a few questions on-line. Students were very successful in completing this task. Lastly, we sang a few holiday songs prior to being dismissed for a well-deserved holikday break.

Homework due on January 4th is to complete the odd numbered problems on pages 785 and 786. These problems are related to using decimals, fractions and percents, and should be review for everyone.

Students may get a jump start on the essay about contributions made by any women to the areas of math, science or engineering. This extra credit essay is not due until January 13th, and students have more particulars about this assignment on a gray sheet of paper that was distributed to them on Dec. 12th.

Have a restful and relaxing holiday. For those of you who travel, do so safely. I look forward to seeing you in January!
