Middle School

This week we brought back an AHB middle school tradition where each class has a class name! The 7th graders will now be called the Meatballs and the 8th graders will now be called the Oaks. Math: This week the Meatballs reviewed for and then took a check-in over solving equations. They ended the week with lessons over solving inequalities. The 8th grade Oaks practiced and reviewed all week for their upcoming check-in over solving equations. One practice sheet was dedicated to Eric because every answer was 6, 7, 67, 6.7, or 6/7. The Algebra Oaks learned point-slope form and […]

General News We are wrapping up end-of-quarter projects in all content areas. Please check your email if you want detailed information about project requirements and due dates!

(Our conference scheduling is a little more complex this year so we appreciate your feedback so we can plan.) Here is the link to the conference sigh-up sheet if you need to check/change/add your time! Reading/Writing Update This week we continued to make progress with

Math: 7th graders tackled two-step equations this week including equations involving integers and writing equations. The 8th grade took the week to learn and practice solving equations with variables on both sides. Algebra had lessons over slope-intercept form and standard form, x and y intercepts, and horizontal and vertical lines. Humanities: What an exciting week as students started the final section of their Uprising novels! The fire was raging, and the students started to evaluate the characters to begin the writing process for their final projects: writing literary essays. We began by looking at the effects of the strike in

Math: 7th graders took their first check in this week and spent time making corrections on those check ins. They ended the week with a lesson over simplifying expressions and combining like terms. The 8th graders tackled equations this week. They solved one, two and multiple step equations that included combining like terms before isolating the variable. The Algebra students reviewed for and took a check in over relations and functions. On Thursday they started their linear equations unit with a lesson over slope. Humanities: We are beginning to wind down our reading and examination of the Triangle Shirtwaist Fire
