Questions about a specific assignment, just ask:)

Today in class the 8th graders were given more time to complete IXL 8.W.11 on solving equations, which is now homework. Then we spent the hour giving feedback to each other for one more chance to improve our slope assessment. Your homework is to write a quick reflection on which critiques you used to improve your paragraphs. Then re-submit it!

Today in class the 6th graders were assigned IXL 6.M.2 & 6.M.3 on graphing integers. Then we took a quiz on adding and subtracting decimals. 6th graders that were absent will just take it when they return to school. There is no homework unless you are catching up on absent work.
