BLOG QUESTION FOR 2nd and 5th Period:

Captain America’s daughter was having a hard time with her car... nope she does not have super powers like Captain America so she has to drive to get around. Her windshield wipers were no longer working... so her and Captain America went to Schuck’s Auto Supply to get new wipers. Each blade cost $12.99 and Captain America bought two for his wonderful daughter. When Captain America and his daughter went to put the wiper blades on... even with his super strength, Captain America was unable to get the blades to go on... so then Captain America went to Fred Meyers to try another pair... those blades cost $6.25 each. Again those blades did not work so Captain America went back to Schuck’s and bought new wiper arms with blades costing a total of $25.78. What was the total that Captain America spent on wiper blades? And if he took the blades back that he could not use, then got his money back.. How much did he actually end up spending? _________

4th Period:

Over the next few days we will be finishing up Mixed numbers and spending some time with Turkeys and Fractions.... should be interesting... see if there is an artist hiding in you some where?? After break we move into decimals and percents.  

BLOG QUESTION FOR 4th Period:

If a spooked Turkey can run up to 20 miles per hour, then how far can a turkey run in 5 hours? Do you think a Turkey could run 20 miles per hour for 5 hours? And also, Turkeys can burst into flight in just a matter of seconds up to speeds of 50 - 55 miles per hour, WOW! If Dash (from the Incredibles) and a Turkey were walking along and the Turkey got spooked who would move take off first?

GONZAGA ZAGS BASKETBALL! 


Great game against Michigan State, yeah we lost but they didn’t beat us, we beat ourselves! PLUS... for you all you ZAG fans... remember Michigan State is ranked number 2 in the nation.. Meaning they are the 2nd best college basketball team in the United States! The team is off to Maui, Hawaii for the Maui Inventational.... um.. Tough life those guys live!

As Spidey says... Whatever life holds in store for me, I will never forget these words: "With great power comes great responsibility." This is my gift, my curse.

Who am I? I'm Spider-man. You too have great power.. Be responsible, you can do great things!

This week we will be working on adding and subtracting mixed numbers. Remember what you can and cannot mix together! Also you guys did great with the cookies... well really with multiplying mixed numbers.. The cookie dough was just a way to learn to multiply! But the reports that I get .. Except a few of you.. Who burnt them.. That they were very tasty!  Here are some pictures of our Bakers!
