Adding & Subtracting Decimals
Textbook, pg. 9, #1-12

Students began reviewing the rules for rounding whole numbers and for rounding decimals today in class. Students should have those rules in their math notebook to use for reference. I have also included a copy of the rules below, along with a copy of tonight’s homework.

PARENTS!!!! Students were given a letter today (printed on red paper) that will allow them to go online and redeem their personal copy of their online textbook. The letter is from our textbook publisher, McGraw-Hill, and it gives very specific instructions on how to complete this process. IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT YOU KEEP TRACK OF YOUR USERNAME & PASSWORD!! I stressed to my students today that I DO NOT HAVE ACCESS TO MCGRAW-HILL FILES AND HAVE NO WAY OF RETRIEVING YOUR STUDENT’S USERNAME & PASSWORD IF YOU LOSE IT. There is a Customer Service number on the letter that you will have to contact in order to retrieve your student’s online textbook should you lose your Username & Password.

OPEN HOUSE tonight begins at 6:00pm with a few words from Coach Knight in the gym and then off to sixth grade hall, Blue Team, to meet with your student’s teachers!

See you all soon! (P.S. No homework tonight! Enjoy!)

Welcome back to Week Two of Sixth Grade at HMS! From my observations, everyone had a terrific first week of school so now let’s get busy working some math!

Tuesday, August 27th, math students will take the county math pre-assessment test during their normal math class. This assessment will allow your student’s math teacher to know where your student is in their learning at this juncture of the school year.

OPEN HOUSE for 6th Grade is also scheduled for Tuesday evening as well! It will begin at 6pm in the gym with some thoughts from Coach Knight and then you will travel your student’s schedule in 5 minute increments. Hopefully you will gain a lot of insight & information about your child’s day here on the Blue Team!

No homework for Monday night!! Enjoy (it doesn’t happen very often!)

ROLL TIDE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Homework for Wednesday night is a Division Fact Sheet. Students worked really well on the Multiplication Facts that I felt we could move right on into division review!

Division Fact Sheet #1 HW for 8-21-2013

Homework for Thursday night, August 22nd

Division Fact Sheet #2 HW for 8-22-2013

Students finished viewing our class presentation of “Rules & Procedures” today in class. It is important to me that students are very clear on my expectations of their behavior & performance while they are in our math class!

Homework for tonight is a Multiplication Fact Sheet. Ten rows with ten columns which makes for 100 math facts. This is a rather straightforward assignment that should be an easy skill for most students. It will be a graded assignment in class on Wednesday.
