One Sport ends and another Begins!

Another busy week as always.  Congrats for demonstrating strong working stamina, following procedures and organization as they are the keys to success in any endeavor in life!

Badminton has now started and anyone interested in participating should be handed in their permission slip along with mandatory attendance to Fit Club as well as all academics taken care of.

ELA


Students have been give 4 hours this week alone to work on creatively presenting their group binder section information. (Note:  some groups doing it by paper, others a OneNote collaborative shared binder)

Students should also be working on this at home as it is the first assignment this year I have given as  a 50 - 50 homework/school project. 

Math

We started changing Fractions to decimals to per cent.  Students need to work on their mental math skills so they can focus on the step by step thinking required instead of calculations.

MATHLETICS SCHOOL AND SYSTEM COMPETION:  STUDENTS NEED TO GO ON LIVE MATHLETICS TO CHALLENGE OTHERS.  Several students records show limited participation in this program.  It is a fantastic program to practice skill development using tech and mental math skills.
