Updates & Homework ~ 12.02.14

UPDATES
 
It is hard to believe the first trimester is already over.  I am so proud of everyone for all their hard work and accomplishments.  I only hope we can stay as focused and as hardworking for this trimester. 
 
In SOAR we are talking about different learning styles and students are discovering how they learn best.  We have also started reading The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens by Sean Covey.
 
In math, Green book has been working on deriving area formulas for various figures as well as composite figures.  They will be assessed on this material (chapter 4) on December 12.  Red book has been working with percents, percent equation, and percent proportion.  We are moving into percent of change, markup, discounts, and simple interest.  They will be assessed on this material (chapter 6) on December 9.
