Math This week 7th grade students had lessons over finding sample spaces, experimental probabilities, and making predictions from simulations. Additionally, they retook their volume check-in with partners and notes. This helped students find their mistakes and understand why they missed the problems they did on the check-in. The 8th graders took a check-in over volume on Monday then moved into their statistics unit. They worked on reading and creating scatter plots which included gathering data from their classmates. The Algebra class learned how to solve quadratic equations 3 ways: factoring, square root method, and completing the square. Next week they […]

General News Happiest of birthdays to 66% of our Delta team! : ) Thank you for the birthday love to Mr. Steve & Ms. Ansley. Special thanks to Meagan Noble and Navassa Hilbertz for whipping up many sweet treats so the Deltas/Episolons could celebrate together. Speaking of treats, next week is Iowa testing. We are looking for volunteers to provide snacks and/or “work the booth” for a short period on Monday – Wednesday. Those of you with STAAR PTSD, please note that this is a much more casual affair (shorter testing windows, shorter test, etc) We had a ‘bubble’ party to get the

Math: The 7th graders completed their unit on volume this week with a review and check-in. On Wednesday, they kicked off their probability unit with a game of Deal or No Deal. On Thursday, they had a lesson on simple probability and complements. The 8th-grade class practiced finding the volume of cylinders and cones with a scavenger hunt on Monday. They had a lesson on finding the volume of spheres on Tuesday. They worked as a class to play BINGO to practice finding the volume of spheres on Wednesday. Then, finally, on Thursday, they started their unit review. The Algebra

General News We had a fun week in Delta! We are moving through all of our new units with ease and curiosity! We also had a special “April Fool’s” cake on Wednesday, thanks to Daisy. If you were with us last year, you might remember our exquisitely pulled off prank cake from Apollo. Thank you, Daisy, for keeping the tradition alive with a positive twist! 😄 ELA This week in ELA was all about building a schema for Mars and the rovers we’ve sent there! On Monday, we went over P&P and introduced our new section of reading for the

Math: This week was a busy one for the 7th graders. They covered finding the volume of rectangular prisms, triangular prisms, rectangular pyramids, and triangular pyramids. The 8th graders also started their volume unit with finding the volume of cylinders and cones. The Algebra students began their final unit. They learned how to graph quadratics in standard and vertex form. Humanities: A new quarter means new reading! On Tuesday the Epsilons jumped into a holdover from our look at the World Wars by starting The Diary of Anne Frank. They set up a stage in a spare room and took
