Week of Oct. 20th

This week is the middle of the 2nd six weeks.  Schools seems to be going quickly.  This week might be a long week for some though, we will be having 2 assessments this week.

Monday - Simple Interest

- This lesson will be an application of 1-Step equations.  Simple Interest can be figured using I=PRT (Interest = Principle x Rate x Time).

- Also, any student that did not perform satisfactorily on Test 2-1 will be taking a retest. 

Tuesday - Common Assessment

- We will be taking our first Common Assessment which will cover equations, inequalities, percents, and simple interest.

Wednesday - Test 2-2 Review

- We will review our unit test over equations and inequalities.

Thursday - Test 2-2

- Students will take their second test of the six weeks.

Friday - Begin creating a Digital Portfolio

- Portfolio's are becoming more and more necessary to use as part of a college application.  It is a collection of works by the student that demonstrates student growth.

This week is Homecoming and each day there is a way to show your spirit.
