Welcome to Literature Class!

 Students will continue to go to the library every two weeks to check books out and to take AR tests.  Students may also read books from home.

Students are encouraged to keep their AR book with them at all times so that they can read when they have the chance throughout the day.

Happy New Year!!!!!!!!!!

January 5, 2009

Periods 2/3  Today we started a new book called Accentuate the Negative

In Investigation 1 gives students experiences with positive and negative numbers, ordering, and informal operations in a variety of contexts so that subsequent formal work can be based on "what makes sense." Positive and negative numbers in the form of integers, fractions, and decimals are also represented on a number line.

Lesson 1.1 Playing Number Fever   In this lesson, students explore the use of  positive and negative numbers in applied settings and interpreting and write mathematical sentences.  Homework is on Page 16 (6,8) Page 20 (48)

Periods 5,7,8

Students worked on translations. A translation is a transformation in which each point of a figure moves the same distance and in the same direction.

Homework is a worksheet!
