Happy Thanksgiving!

I wanted to take this time to wish you all a very happy Thanksgiving! The students have been working very hard this year and I hope they are able to relax and enjoy this time with their family. Be safe if you travel. See you, students, again Monday!

Unit 3 Math Test

We are finishing up another chapter in our math curriculum. For the past few weeks, you've noticed that your student has been working on geometry lessons. Our Unit 3 Test will cover many different skills. My math students will be given a study guide to work through in class and at home on Tuesday (11/9). Some of the skills that will need to be mastered for the test include: measuring angles with or without a protractor, identifying triangles, polygons, and adjacent angles, and using a graph or table to find specific data. I appreciate any help with these skills that you can offer at home and encourage students to come to school with questions if they had difficulty working through the problems at home. 

Our School Rocks--Drug Free

October 23-31st was National Red Ribbon Week. It is an alcohol, tobacco and other drug and violence prevention awareness campaign observed annually in the United States. The students received gift bags from Freeborn County Partners in Prevention with different items promoting this campaign. In the past month, during our health class we've talked about making healthy choices and being tobacco free. We've discussed healthy ways to reduce our stress and be good friends. In the pictures above students are wearing the "I Rock--Drug Free" paper glasses they received in their gift bags.
