Mr. Rotts Room Blog for week ending 12/16/11

Welcome Space Travelers!
Hard to believe that this is the WEEK!... 4 days and counting... until Christmas Vacation!  2 WHOLE weeks to rest and enjoy some time off!  I hope that you will have a wonderful break and come back refreshed, healthy and ready to work on percents and decimals!  THERE WILL BE NO HOMEWORK THIS WEEK...PLEASE work on papers that have very low scores... so that you can turn them in after break to receive more points!

THIS WEEK:   This week in class we will be finishing fractions... not that we will leave them forever, they will poke their head out during percents and decimals but nothing like what we have been working on for the last month!

CALCULATOR !!!  YOU really want to make sure you purchase a calculator that can do fractions, it needs to have an ABC button on it!  Trust me you’re going to want a fraction calculator!!


SPACE  FACT: Welcome to NORAD Tracks Santa
Here is a great site to visit for tracking Santa.... take a peak!
