Math: The Meatballs finished up their poster projects on Monday and completed a puzzle to practice proportions. Tuesday we had a lesson on unit rates. Wednesday we practiced more proportions with a train puzzle and a scavenger hunt. Thursday, for Halloween, we created Halloween scenes that needed to include various geometric shapes and definitions. The 8th grade students practiced finding slopes from graphs and given two points on Monday and Tuesday. Wednesday they had a lesson on graphing linear equations in slope-intercept form. On Thursday they graphed linear equations that made the shape of a spider web! The Algebra students […]

General News The Halloween carnival was such a hit! The Deltas got some first hand experience hosting (and wrangling) the younger kids. It was a beautiful act of service for building community and fun was had by all! We also got to spend some time in the library and lounge downstairs for our new monthly tradition: Lit. Lounge! We enjoyed cider, hot chocolate, or peppermint tea, learned about the new library system, and got to check out some leisure reading books! We look forward to doing it again next month! Reading/Writing Update This week in class, we focused on character

Math: The Meatballs started proportions this week. They had a review lesson on solving proportions Tuesday and started a project Wednesday and Thursday. First we read If You Hopped Like a Frog by David M Schwartz. This book had comparisons like, if you scurried like a spider you could run a football field in 2 seconds. We used those ratios and our body measurements to solve how far we could scurry. The 8th grade class learned functions are like vending machines on Tuesday and had lessons over slope on Wednesday and Thursday. They can now identify the slope of a

General News We are so happy to be back together again! Conferences have been delightful and we look forward to more tomorrow! We got into the groove of Q2 together quickly this week! We’ve started preparing for the Halloween carnival next week – upper school is in charge of making games and activities for the lower school! The Deltas are delighted to be taking on a leadership role in the school. Reading/Writing Update This week we jumped into a new unit. Delta students were offered two book options: The 14th Goldfish by Jennfer Holm or The Evolution of Calpurnia Tate

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
