Period One- Pennies for Telemiracle
What students won't do to get out of work! Today the ESA organized a Telemiracle Fundraiser that required teachers to roll ALL pennies students brought in BEFORE they could begin class. 6B kept me busy for the entire first period. I rolled 3300 pennies (with some help). Way to go class!
Our school raised $619. 50 in pennies (that's almost 62 000 pennies!).
The Jr. Gender Wars raised $589. 73 (the girls raised $320.59 and the boys raised $260.14). It looks like the girls will be attending the "winners" party next week!
Our school total (which includes the Sr. Gender wars) reached almost $1600.00. What an amazing accomplishment EHS.
Period Two Math 6B
We continued our study of decimal place value today. Students have a good understanding of tenths, hundredths and thousanths. A decimals handout page (decimal place value) was assigned. This is homework for Monday. Most students finished during class time. Another handout on tenths and hundredths was started. Students will have a few minutes to complete this on Monday.To review the concept of decimal place value, visit the following web-site. You must go to LESSONS and then PLACE VALUE to view the correct video.
