OUR CLASS AGREEMENTS ARE NOW UP AND SIGNED!!
We have been working very hard to create a set of agreements that we can all agree on and live with.
MUTUAL RESPECT
ATTENTIVE LISTENING
NO-PUT DOWNS
The goal is to create a safe, respectful environment where we can all learn and grow together. Ask your son or daughter tonight how they feel about the agreements and how they plan to follow them.
WORD PROBLEMS
We are continuing to work on our Super 7 strategies for problem solving. Today we worked on using 'logical reasoning' to organize and eventually solve the word problem. The problems we worked had some very tricky language. We used venn diagrams and matrix boxes to help organize our information and solve the problems. Most students found this very difficult to do. We will continue to work on this till they become more comfortable with logically organizing the information.
The super 7 stratiges is a great way to help organize you work and help you understand the problem.
