Week of November 18-22, 2013

Math: In Math we learned Order of Operations, we learned a song, and created a foldable and had lots of homework problems to practice. We also reviewed Ratios and Circles and took a quiz to see our progress.
SAT: We practice subtraction of Integers with positive and negatives.

A very special thanks to Mr. Vit Kaspar who came this week to help our Falcons with our new vegetable garden. Here are some picture of Princeton planting, lettuce, radish, carrots, and cilantro seeds. We can't wait to see some green in this garden!

Week of November 11-15, 2013

The Third Six Weeks are here and we are only weeks away from ending this wonderful first semester. Although we start to look forward to the Holidays we still have a lot of work to do, and new objectives to learn before that time comes. This week we introduced Ratios in Honors Math and Integers in SAT.

Here are some of our Falcons learning ratios through an activity name GORP Math. Every student had a sandwich bag of GORP (Goldfish, Orange candy, Raisins, and Pretzels), and they had to find the ratio of every ingredient in that bag. Of course our 6^th grade Falcons loved this lesson because they go to eat their GORP after they finished their class assignment.
