Hiddie Ho Students! Today we are watching a Video (8 Below, hence the pic!) and starting a video observation guide that we will complete on Wednesday. The guide shows students that math pertains to everything, even Antartica! Tomorrow we have the benchmark test! Have a terrific evening!

Friday! We got all agendas, journals, and vocab checked and in the gradebook. I also gave the students their averages for the 2nd six weeks while they worked on a worksheet. In the advanced class the students took a quiz as promised. Have a great weekend. I'm off to the State Sr. High Convention in Hurricane. See ya!

Rain, Rain, Go away! Well, I guess you have to take the bad with the good sometimes! In the regular class we were busy, working on combining like terms, in class they did vocab (see below) and worked on Pg. 102 #s 1-17. In the advanced class we played a game similar to 1 vs. 100 for bonus points for their quiz on Friday. The big winners were Maddie Bess, Levi Ashworth, Josiah Wise, Haley Neal, and Vanessa Straley. The person who got the farthest in the game was Tyler McComas, however he got greedy and ended up loosing all his points to the those left in the class! Tomorrow will be a review day for their quiz on Friday. Well, it's off to church tonight, more teenagers, GREAT! :-) (the picture is from the clay center)
