Week of May 10-14

MATH:
This week we continue with decimals. We will be looking at adding and subtracting decimals. Today it was adding and subtracting by first rounding the decimals to the nearest whole number. Tomorrow and Wednesday we will be adding/subtracting decimals by lining up the place value of each. Students will be quized on adding and subtracting decimals on Friday.

Timed Test: Students will have their timed test on Thursday and it will focus on 8 as a divisor.

Problem Solving: We will be having an Orders of Operations Quiz on Thursday during bellwork. This is something we've been doing for over a week now during our bellwork times in the morning. We're using the acronym BEDMAS (brackets, exponents, division, multiplication, addition, subtraction) to explain the order that equations should be solved.

SCIENCE:
We continue with our new Solar System unit. Friday we discussed the sun. Today and tomorrow we will be talking about the moon. Wednesday we will review both, then students will have a quiz on the sun and the moon on Thursday.

HOMEWORK:
Students who are involved in the musical will not be expected to complete homework this week. I have told all students, however, that if they are not using their time wisely in class, then I will require those students to complete the homework as well.
