Week of 4/19/10 - Unit 6 Results

11 Days Until the CST...we're counting down!

The California Standards Test will be administered from May 4 - 7, 2010.  There will be early release (students stay for lunch and are released at 12:45 pm).  Students will be testing with their 4th period teacher.

Homework for both the 6th and 8th graders will primarily be from the CST released test questions.  This packet of questions comes from old CST's.  Instead of giving the answers each day, I will be giving the students 5 minutes to discuss with their table groups the answers that they got.  Each table group will decide on their answers and I will grade their table group answers.

I will be chaperoning the 8th grade field trip to San Jose State University on Thursday, so the students will have a substitute then.

Algebra students will be continuing our study on rational expressions.

6th grade students will be working at different stations each day to review for the CST.  Special thanks to Grant Cooperman, Andrew Gonzalez, Melissa Murphy, Nick Escobedo, Araceli Esquivel, Kathy Chavez Alvarez, Gaby Rodrigues, Kevin Soto, Jacob Powers, Rachel Kiep, Leonardo Robles-Gonzales, Alex Ruffo, and Cayla Antonio for accepting positions as station leaders and helping out.

On Friday (April 9), the 6th grade students took their Unit 6 Test. Our goal was for each student to demonstrate at least 80% mastery. Since there were 25 questions,  you could only miss 5 questions. 


Congratulations to the following students who met our Big Goal and demonstrated mastery of Unit 6:
Grant Cooperman, Lindsay Cutler, Melissa Murphy, Gabe Yee, Josh Herndon and Leonardo Robles-Gonzales.



There were no perfect or one-miss scores this time.

Below are class results of the Unit 6 Test on Probability.
