Welcome to another week at JBE. Students that signed up for it will be receiving the flu mist at school on Tuesday. We will be taking our first science test on Thursday.
Please be aware that students will be counted as tardy beginning at 8:35. Students are let into the room at 8:25. We have morning announcements at 8:30 and we try to begin instruction at 8:40. When students arrive at school before 8:30 it allows them time to unpack, get their pencils sharpened and get ready for the day without having to rush. On Monday's students are also trying to get their agenda items copied down from the board. If there homework the night before that assignment is being checked off.
In math this week we will be working on decomposing numbers using the subtraction algorithm. The problems that students will be solving this week will require decomposing more than once (see the example below). Since there are many layers of regrouping in these problems I am encouraging students to use another strategy to check their work.
In science this week we will take our first chapter test. The test will be on Thursday 10/1. The test will cover all 5 lessons in chapter. Students will not be allowed to use their books or journals during the test. The test will have multiple choice, written response, fill in the blank, and vocabulary questions. This week students will also receive grades for the chapter vocabulary section and the science tools sections of their journals.
