School is winding down.  We had a wonderful field day earlier this week.

In all classes we have been reviewing needed concepts.

1st and 3rd Periods have been reviewing decimal and fraction operations.  Students will continue with rational numbers next year and it is imperative that the basic operations are known as negative numbers will be introduced to these next year.

2nd Period has been reviewing integer operations and will be working on combining like terms and two-step equations.  This will be a pre-view for next year.

4th Period has been having fun working with integer operations.  We will continue practicing these concepts and working on one-step equations with integers.
