Weekly Update 1/6/17

Math:
This week we worked on One and Two-step equations in algebra. Next week we will finish up with in-equalities in algebra and take the chapter test on Thursday. Most students have been enjoying algebra and the puzzles it presents.

Science:
We started FLASH this week and set up our norms for conversations we will be having in class. I have encouraged students to talk with their parents about discussions and to take breaks if they are uncomfortable in class. Things have started very smoothly and I look forward to the rest of the unit.

Additionally, check the previous post about Science Fair Friday. This will be what we are working on every Friday until the fair.

Student Computers:
Mr. Brown and I, have several computers in our classrooms that we use for different purposes. From building things in Sketchup to writing assignments and research they are very useful to fulfill technology needs in class. However they are not supported by the district because they were donated by parents and we need some help to keep them running effectively. They are very cluttered with un-needed applications and add-ons and we need some ones help to make them more useful. If you happen to have some expertise in this area, we would greatly appreciate it.

Thank you.
Josh
