We had a busy week with our final exams and our Community Read full day event on Friday! Pre-Algebra kids received their portfolios back this week along with their final exams. They spent Wednesday and Thursday learning how to work with some statistics and graphing things in the graphing calculator they will use for Algebra …

We are almost at the end of the school year! Your kids are practically 8th graders!! Here are some quick end of year updates. Pre-Algebra students have completed the first day of their final exam. We'll finish on Monday and there's a small chance we'll need to push slightly into Tuesday. Math 7 students will …
We're nearing the end. We've completed all our math material for the year and we are busy reviewing for our final exam next Friday. Both pre-Algebra and Math 7 are in the computer lab working on self correcting material. They are watching videos to review at a pace that is comfortable for them and then …
Parents, We have A LOT of news this week!! First, our grade 7 students finished their area projects. Check out the pictures of their work. Many students worked very hard on this project that required them to design, measure, use a compass to make circles, and use a protractor to make angles. They also had …

We have 34 days of school left after today! A few of the kids helped convert our Pi chain into a school countdown chain. It is really hard to believe that the year is nearly over. However, as I remind myself ... the entire summer is just about 75 days so 34 days is longer …
This week FLEW by for me. I hope that it felt like a positive and quick week for your kids. In pre-Algebra we finished with Module 4. This was our linear equation unit and a large focus was on graphing these equations. Most of the kids did VERY well on the end of module test. …
This short week was a busy one for us! In Pre-Algebra we worked on learning how to solve systems of equations 3 different ways. We started with graphing which served as a review of graphing and an intro to systems. Then, we moved to substitution and finally to elimination. The kids overwhelmingly agreed that this …
When our spring break rolled around I was frustrated that it was so early in the year thinking "if only it were later the weather would be warmer." No such luck - 2 weeks later and it is the exact same weather. At least I'm no longer jealous of schools with later breaks than us. …
