Mr. Rotts Room Blog February 20 - 24th

Welcome Space Travelers!

Welcome... sorry about being gone so much this week... after hitting my head skiing... and having a concussion it was really hard to be in the classroom... but after seeing my doctor, and some new medicine, my head is feeling a TON better and I am ready for us to get back at it this week!  I am sure glad I had my helmet on.. Or my concussion could have been much worse!!  Its like wearing a helmet when you ride your bike, or looking both ways before crossing the street... simple things can make a huge difference in life! Take time to do those simple things, trust me it helps!

   

THIS WEEK:  We will be working on some more order of operations, and starting algebra... that will be our focus for the next few weeks!  We will be using difference symbols for multiplication and letters to represent numbers... it’s a crazy world!

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: Due to short week no space fact this week.

Well.. What can we say??? They had their chance to at least tie for first place but after losing to the Dons on Saturday night, it looks like the Zags might not win their division this year, and UG... could it be that they will not be invited to the big dance for March Madness...?  HUGE HUGE game this Thursday against BYU... they HAVE to win that one!  Keep your fingers crossed... its still possible
