Please let us know which time slot you plan on attending. The 6th graders received their Quarter 1 Math Project: Paper Pool. They have been provided with an outline of the problem, instruction for a written report, rubric for a written report, and a family letter.
You can find electronic copies of the project under the 6th Grade Math tab under the syllabus in case you need extra copies throughout the quarter. This is a fun problem! Students will feel very proud of themselves as they persevere and discover patterns in order to make generalizations. Ms. Ridgway and Mrs. Mueller are piloting the Remind App this school year. This app will allow us to send brief text message reminders to families as needed. All students in grades 6-8 have received information regarding how parents and students can sign up to get reminders from our classes, as well as cross country and math team. These were attached to a classroom syllabus or sports packet. Because these codes are unique to our school and classrooms, we will not post them here. Please email us if you need the codes and directions.
We will not be using the Remind App for homework, but rather reminders and classroom announcements. Homework will still be posted on this website. We are so excited to share some initial information regarding our annual 8th grade class trip!
