6th Accelerated (https://sjusd.box.com/s/4da00xgz3wfsxk92o874)
Project Presentations: Great job on the the project presentations last week. I was able to video tape some of the presentations and they are posted below. In some videos you can't hear the presenters because they spoke softly and didn't have a video microphone. The password for each video is johnmuir. I'm limited on the weekly upload bandwidth, so the final two videos will be available on Friday 10/10.

Kelani, Ella, Zoe, Alyssa (coming on Friday 10/10)
Unit 1 Test Results: The results are in the gradebook. Students were able to see their tests along with examples of Level 5 responses for each question. These tests are intellectual property of the school district and will be used for future iterations of unit tests. Therefore, they do not leave the classroom. Students and parents may see the tests in the classroom either before school (7:30am - 8:00am), during lunch (12:08pm - 12:38pm) or after school (2:42pm - 3:30pm Mondays or by appointment on Thursdays and Fridays). Since I write a Version A and Version B for each quiz, students who earn less than 80% on a quiz may re-take that quiz and replace it with a higher score. However, there is no second version of the Unit 1 Test at this time, so there is not an opportunity to re-take the test for a higher grade.
This week, we begin our study of Pictorial Division. Students will be using mathematics to model real world situations and use pictures to represent division of whole numbers, mixed numbers, and fractions. These pictures will explain why the algorithm of multiply by the reciprocal works. Indeed, students will need to multiply the reciprocal as well as draw diagrams to model division.
7th Grade (https://sjusd.app.box.com/files/0/f/2360577781)
Unit 1 Test Results: Since this is the first district assessment of the year, 7th grade teachers from all SJUSD middle schools will be meeting at the District Office in October 14 to grade the tests together and calibrate, so that all assessments no matter which site will be graded in the same way. Students should expect to see the results on Infinite Campus and in class no later than Friday, October 17.
We are beginning our next unit of Expressions, Equations, and Inequalities. Students should have some familiarity with the vocabulary (variables, constants, and coefficients) from 6th grade, but the problems and situations are more complex. We will begin this week by writing expressions and follow it with combining like terms and the distributive property of negative terms.
