We will be having our Unit 9 Math test next Thursday, the class should be revising each day over the subject matter they are being taught in class.

Skills covered on the unit nine test include:

*plot ordered pairs on a four-quadrant coordinate grid

*understand the concept of volume of a figure

*use a formula to find the volume of prisms

*plot quadrant pairs on a one-quadrant coordinate grid

*identify the base and height of triangles and parallelograms

*use a formula to find the area of triangles and parallelograms

*understand the concept of area of a figure

*use a formula to find the area of rectangles

In Language Arts we are having some fun for the last week of the quarter working on our debating skills; I told the class they are so good at arguing at this age that they should put their debating skills to good use!

Please complete the survey for me today if you are able; I appreciate the feedback and I also still have four parents who have not responded to my e mail about parent teacher conference times.

Have a great weekend.
