Finding the area of an Apartment

Since it's the end of the year figured students should start thinking about moving out on their own! HA!! NO WAY.. they are way to young!  But we did spend the period working on arranging furniture into an apartment and what the square footage would be with 4 rooms.  Here are a few pictures of 2nd and 4th period.  There are more in the picture tab!

My  Fab 2nd Period Math Class!

The MEN of 4th Period.. finding some Area!

Almost summer time!

Yes we are bouncing into math.. but actually we are almost bouncing out of math for a summer break!  Thanks to our great classroom helpers this year.  They have kept the pig in great shape this year... and here is their latest!

So guess what?? We have tests on Wednesday... and we will probably only have one mroe test this year.. wow!! how fun will that be so MA remember multiply and divide fractions and mixed numbers.  MB remember know your slope formula and also calculating slope from graphs!  If you study a LOT then just think you won't have to take a second test and I won't have to make it! Lets help each other out!

Make good choices!

Class notes are up for this week... lots going on in class!  TEST ALERT  THIS COMING MONDAY!!   MA Add Subtract Mixed numbers and MB Calculating SLope from Graphs!  It seems many of you choose NOT to study for the tests based on what you say and on your grades!  Remember you have a short amount of time to retake the tests or your original grade will count.  That means that 80% of your grade is based on those test scores!!! EASY FIX - STUDY!

Ahhhhh baseball season has started... of course gotta follow my fav teams... The Atlanta Braves and The Boston Red Soxs!!






Besides the start of the baseball season... we have tests on MONDAY.. Math A Estimating fractions and mixed numbers.  And Math B you will be tested on recursive equations.. 
Please make sure you read over your packets... trust me it  will help!
Have a great weekend and remember what amazing people you are and that there are great things awaiting you in life!
your favorite teacher

WELCOME TO OUR JUNGLE SAFARI! Class Blog 4 2 13

Ok Ok OK.. I know the

Zags los to the Shockers>?? WHO?  My tournament bracket was totally a mess since I had our boys going all the way to the final... 

But I know that there is  NO way everyone else had all these teams picked so I will wait until next year... you never know what will happen.  Thank you to the Zags for an exciting and excellent season... !

Math A, 2nd and 4th Period:  CHAPTER TEST Estimating Fractions & Mixed Numbers  Monday! This week we finish up estimating with getting ready for adding and subtracting fractions next week!  Ah just love those fractions!

Math B, 5th period

CHAPTER TEST On Recursive Equations Monday !!

We will be finishing up recursive equations this week with our test on Monday.  We then will be moving into input output tables from equations... now doesn’t sound like FUN!

ZAGS...

After winning ALL of their conference games ( yeah easy conference huh! Well they still had to win every game!) and being ranked NATIONALLY #1 for the last three weeks of the season... and making it as a #1 seed in the tournament.. there were a LOT of teams that didn't even achieve one of those FANTASTIC accomplishments! 

I say, the Zags went out every night and played.. where they were ranked and placed in the national rankings or the tournament rankings was not their issue.. playing basketball is was and every day and every night they gave their best, that is ALL we can ask of anyone! Until next season!!

Even though life can

seem to be wild and crazy... or that you're lost in a jungle.. Keep pressing forward! And always remember, you are amazing, incredible people with the whole world waiting to be changed by YOU!
