(This is where you and I imagine the perspective of a teenage boy or girl on a school biking trip through the woods.)Huff* Huff* Skibbidy* Huff* Aura* Huff* Huff* Bring duckface selfies back* Huff* OMG is that a luchador!?! Who is this magnificent, masked cyclist? Ahem** This is Mr. Rouse speaking now. If you had any anxieties about this trip- you shouldn’t have. There isn’t a safer pair of guardian hands in the U.S. of A. than a masked Mr. Kalcum. All jokes aside, it was a terrific way to spend Halloween. Don’t forget about our exhibition next week!

- On their much-anticipated field trip, the students set off on bikes, pedaling down the trails and through sunlit paths with eager anticipation. Along the way, the group learned the value of patience and resilience, finding encouragement in one another’s progress. By the time they reached their final destination, every student wore a smile of accomplishment, having faced their own unique challenges and come out stronger and more connected than before.
Math w/ Mrs. Boldrick –
- Upcoming Tests/Quizzes – Wednesday, November 13
- We continued learning new laws of exponents, which now include exponent products, quotients, zeros, and negatives.
- The students needed more guidance with the law of quotients. We broke down each step, and they were required to show me the work for at least 4 steps for problem. Writing down their work helped them see the process more clearly.
- I am still requiring that they show me their work to receive full credit for each problem.
- We’ll have a test on the laws of exponents in two weeks, which will be Wednesday, November 13.
- Next week, we continue work with the laws of exponents and will also move into the order of operations using rational numbers.
- Algebra 1/Geometry – The students continued working with angles. I encourage them to draw a model of each problem to help them see each problem. Next week we will work on complimentary and supplementary angles. They will have a test on Wednesday, November 13 on lines, line segments, and angles.
