Week of 10/5/26

Hello 8th Grade Families!
 
This week in 8th grade math, we're going to continue deriving the equation y=mx+b, then we'll be using it to graph linear equations! Homework will be assigned in class on Monday, and will be due at the beginning of class on Wednesday, 10/7, due to an alternate schedule on Thursday. The homework will be one page, front and back - a total of 7 questions.
 
As a reminder, Thursday is a half-day, so students will be done by 11:30am :) Conferences will begin Thursday afternoon at 1pm and run until 5pm (virtually). If you signed up for an in-person conference, then I will see you on Friday somewhere between 8am-6pm!
 
I hope you have a great week, and please don't hesitate to reach out with any questions!

Hello 8th Grade Families!
 
This week in 8th grade math, we're focusing on proportional relationships and identifying/graphing slopes of lines! Homework will be assigned in class on Monday, and will be due at the beginning of class on Friday, 10/2.
 
Test #2 corrections will be due by Monday, 10/5 for half-credit back. I highly encourage students to utilize this opportunity if they scored less than an 80%!!
 
Just a reminder that the end of Quarter 1 is coming up quick! If students have missing work, they need to get it to me ASAP so that I can get those grades updated.
