-Students worked on an integer worksheet. Students are starting to learn the “old school” method to add and subtract integers without a model. Students need to know all three methods for the test: counter model, number line model and “old school” method.
-Mathletics tasks are due Sunday night.
Math 6
-Students were given a multiplication worksheet. This is a review sheet. We will spend some time reviewing how to multiply two digit by three digits this week. This will prepare us for being able to multiply decimals.

Science 8
-We continue to work on our grade 8 project. The grade 8 students will be hosting the end of the month assembly. They are preparing a dance to showcase their talents. As a group, they are also planning an amazing race for the entire school. It is great to see them working together. They are learning to work as a group, while taking on leadership roles within our school.
We will be back to regular "programming" soon. The skills they are learning during this project will help them to be better lab partners. I am pleased with their work ethic and the new skills they are developing. Stay tuned as I plan to post some pictures next week of all their progress.
