***Quiz is Friday – Lesson 10 (Multiplying and Dividing Decimals)***

IXL is due on Friday morning (I will write down scores in the morning).

Today- we will finish up in the Instruction Book and work on word problems and IXL the next couple of days.

I would like to invite all students to bring in card games or board games tomorrow for a portion of the class. No Electronics/No phones, just good old fashioned games to share with classmates. Be ready to explain how they relate to math 🙂

Thank you to all students and their families who brought in socks to donate! As you know, socks are the number one requested items in homeless shelters; your generosity will benefit many people this winter season.  It was a close and exciting race, but only one class could win… Congratulations to the 7th/8th hour block with a total of 309 pairs of socks!  Your class will enjoy a pizza party tomorrow, during class! 
7th/8th hour may bring pop and chips to enjoy with their pizza. Pizza is my treat!
All in all we will be donating over 630 pairs of socks!!! Well done!

All other classes will enjoy a special treat tomorrow. 

We worked on the end of Lesson 9 in the Instruction Book. The Practice and PROBLEM SOLVING WAS PASSED GIVEN TO THE STUDENTS,in addition IXL – 6th Grade tab G.1 and G.2.

Work on the packet and IXL this weekend, we will have a little time on Monday. We will go over the packet the second half of class. Quiz is planned for Tuesday.

“Battle of the Socks”

I must say that this is the biggest “battle I have ever had”! I am proud of the students and their families who are giving from their heart. The students are really thinking about others 🙂

Some comments that students have said to me:

“helping others makes me feel good. “

“I know that it will make someone happy to get new socks.”

“I have a lot of stuff… some people don’t even have socks. Than makes me sad.”

Here are the results so far:

1st place- 4/5 with 226 pairs of socks

2nd place- 7/8 with 167 pairs of socks

3rd place-29 pairs of socks

We are working on Lesson 9, adding and subtracting decimals.

We will work through lesson 9 this week and have a quiz sometime early next week.

Watch for practice and problem solving packets and IXL practice before the quiz.

The Battle continues…

7/8 Block in the lead with 134 pairs of socks!!!!

4/5 Block – 92 pairs of socks

2/3 Block- 17 pairs of socks

****Thank you to all students and their parents who have donated to this cause. It really means a lot to a person to have a new, clean, dry pair of socks. ****

The Battle of the Socks is on!!

7/8 Block in the lead with 111 pairs of socks!!!!

2/3 Block – 7 pairs of socks

4/5 Block – 48 pairs of socks

So, each year I try to have some sort of “Battle” with my students to help others in need.

This year we talked about the need for SOCKS.  We all hear about donating gloves and hats in the winter time, but how about peoples feet?  They get cold too!

SOCKS are the NUMBER ONE thing requested at homeless shelters. Think about it, we use our feet everyday, they take us places, right?

My challenge to my students is to donate as many NEW pairs of socks for homeless, which I will take to a local shelter.  The battle will go for two weeks. Ending on Thursday, 12/19/19.

Let’s help others out, by giving the gift of warm feet!

Together we can make a difference 🙂

Last year my students donated over 500 pairs of socks… Sarah set a goal this year. Lets see if we can meet her goal!
