Team Mindrafters Daily Update - 1-20-15

Dear Parents,

Reading - Coming home today is your child's AR record report for the 2nd quarter and his/her goal sheet for the 3rd quarter.  Please look over this new goal sheet with your child, but make sure it comes back to school.  Students will refer to these throughout the quarter.  You may keep the AR record report.  We are beginning Unit 3 today.  There will be an ELA sheet, reading log, and spelling list.

Math. Your child is learning algebra concepts this week. Today we introduced the vocabulary your child should know. Here are the terms as well as an example of each:
  • variable: unknown number which can be represented by any letter such as x, t, s, etc...
  • expression: x + 3
  • equation: x + 3 = 7
  • inequality: 4 + x > 10
  • sum: answer when adding
  • difference: answer when subtracting
  • product: answer when multiplying
  • quotient: answer when dividing
Reminders:
  • Thursday, January 22 - Grades should be available in Powerschool. Contact the office (419-877-0543) if you are having trouble viewing your child's grades.
