Classroom Update & Homework 09/17/14

Classroom Update~ Today in math (both green and red books) students created a Khan Academy account and linked it to Mrs. Sternfels' account. This will allow students to use Khan Academy is workshop and at other appropriate times of the year.  By being linked, Mrs. Sternfels' can send out specific skills for select students to work on which, helps reach every child at their learning level.  Students are also allowed to go on to Khan Academy from home and practice either assigned skills or skills that they select.  In Green Book, we have just finished up talking about Order of Operations and are moving on to GCF and LCM.  Students in Red Book are just finishing up a chapter on Integers and will be taking a test on Friday.
