For the week of January 11 - 15

Greetings Super Heros! 

Great week so far.. wow is it going fast.. Just as fast as Superman or Mighty Mouse... or even Speed Racer!

This week we are back at it... with lots to do as usual!  As you look at your grades, consider that 

the work this term is becoming more difficult and in order for you to the same or even better than last term, you will have to push yourself more.. Take better notes and pay more attention... there is no way around it.. as you progress through school the work is going to be difficult!! I believe each of you can do this but you have to decide that YOU can do it!  Remember that NO SCHOOL next Monday... In remembrance of Martin Luther King Jr..

The 411 for the week!
What 2nd and 5th Period classes will be up to this week: This week my little Super Heroes 2nd and 5th periods will be spending time with the Witch Doctor... MC Hammer and fractions... this is a crucial part of working with fractions.. Ya gotta know how to use all your super powers to simplify fractions.... its like brushing your teeth.. Without tooth paste it’s just not the same!

REMEMBER.. you will be expected to fill out at least one page of notes ~ this will be worth 25 points! Also, you will still have Blog Questions and will be expected to complete those by Friday at midnight.


BLOG QUESTION 2nd and 5th Period:
Remember! Each week you will have a blog question, please reread the How to Post Answers to the BLOG Questions below, so that you won’t lose points for not answering your classes’ blog question. See the blog posting help on the side bar .. On the right side of the blog page.
The HULK is a BIG GUY... we would all agree to that. If he, on a daily basis ate 5 bananas, 10 apples, 14 carrots, 5 large bowls of oatmeal, 10 glass of orange juice, 13 slices of bacon, 25 grapes, 4 mangos, a loaf of bread for toast... how many items of fruit did he eat?

This week for 4th Period:

This week we will be working on percents... you know like when you go to the store and something is 20% off... 10% off... or even 50% off... wow what a deal... we will be learning just how great of a deal all those percents really are!! Save those dollars.... !

BLOG QUESTION FOR 4th Period:
Last Saturday night, at 7pm your favorite teacher in the whole wide world was at the University of Portland to see the Gonzaga Bull Dogs play the University of Portland Pilots. Of course our favorite college basketball team won.. Um... we all KNOW who that was!! So here are a few questions from that game... .If Matt Bouldin played the entire game - 40 mins what percent of the game did he play? If he scored 20 points out of the 81 that the whole team scored.. What fraction would that be? Also, what would that fraction look like after you turn it into a decimal? If Matt shot 11 Free Throws and made 10 what percent was that?

As Spidey says each week... 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!

AND Remember, as always, you are amazing, incredible people with the whole world waiting to be changed by YOU!
