8th grade math: This week we will take a sneak peek at next year by working with trigonometry and multiplying and dividing polynomials. Next year is a second semester review.

We have moved on to the study of vertebrates. The animals are getting more complex.The great news is that the dissecting everyone has been waiting for is almost here. We will start on the fish this week and the frogs will happen about a week later. The kids did a nice job with the worms.
The big evening is almost here! The students have worked hard and the presentations are going to be great.
Here are a few important reminders about Thursday evening.
- students need to be in nice dress: no jeans
- students need to be at their displays from 6:30 until called to the bleachers (appr. 7:45)
- plan to help with clean up and take everything home
- students may eat before 6:25
- be sure to have supplies if you are giving out samples
The recorded power points will be showing in several classrooms. Be sure to check the program for the location of your child's presentation. I am excited about this addition to our event.
Congratulations on completing this great project!
