Week 3 - Clubs Start & Back to School


Clubs
Clubs start this week!  I coach the Ballroom Dance Club, which meets on Thursdays in the cafeteria from 2:15pm to 4:00pm.  If you would like to join, but didn't get a chance to sign up, you can do so on Thursday after school.

Back to School
Back to School night is this Wednesday from 6pm - 8pm.  Please begin in the cafeteria with a special message from our principal, Ms. Marchant.  The bells will then ring to signal you to move from class to class, following your child's schedule.  Feel free to bring the family.  I look forward to meeting as many of you as possible!

Pre-Algebra Announcements & Homework
This week, we will be covering the topics of one-step equations, defining, identifying, and converting forms of rational numbers (i.e. between fractions and decimals), and multiplying rational numbers.  Since the students received their textbooks on Friday, this week's homework will be from the textbook (TB) and should be completed on binder paper; Thursday's homework is a worksheet.  The Unit 1 Quiz 2 will be on Friday.

Homework for the week is as follows:
Monday (8/29): TB pg. 39 #33, 36, 37, 38, 42
Tuesday (8/30)TB pg. 68 #30, 33, 37, 43, 44
Wednesday (8/31): TB pg. 80 #14, 15, 18, 20, 25
Friday (9/2): Problem of the Week #2
