Welcome back to school!!!

Another school year has begun, so it is time for us to get started in the wonderful world of numbers and math :)
I hope you all had a wonderful summer and got the chance to rest and enjoy.

During our first week of school we went over our evaluation categories, the content for this new school year, and our diagnostic test (just to see how we are doing with what we learned last year ;)). For the following week, we start working completing our curriculum and achieving new goals :).

6th Graders: I encourage all of you to start reading lesson 1-2 Adding and subtracting decimals.
7th Graders: We will start working with PEMDAS. If you still have your notebook from last year, please do read about it :)

See you all on Monday!
Enjoy your weekend!
