Happy Monday! :-)

Students continued to focus today on using tables, graphs, and descriptions to compare information and make decisions. The next step in helping our five "friends": Malcolm, Liz, Sidney, Theo, and Celia design their 3-day bike tour is to analyze data for how many people will pay for bike rentals at different prices. This data will help our "friends" know what to charge on their own tour. We're doing a great job here folks! I am sure our "friends" appreciate all our hard work and savviness!!! :-)

Reminders:

Don't forget about the "No Missing Work" Challenge going on this week at Hollenbeck! Be sure to have all missing assignments in by this Friday so you can attend the celebritory event next week!

From Friday, September 14-Wednesday, September 18 we will be raising money for Everett Gotway's Memorial. We were deeply saddened by the loss of one of our Hollenbeck family members and would like to purchase a bench and plaque in his honor. Anything you can do to help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you in advance.

Students need to be sure to come to class prepared (every day) with their graph paper, pencil, book, and binder (and any homework or papers that need to be turned in). If students continue to arrive unprepared, a phone call will be made home and students will be issued a detention.

Today's homework:
Challenge: Lesson 2.2 p. 32 A-D
All other classes: p. 36 #2 a, b, & c


Also: remember to...
~Redo any assignments necessary (you have one week to redo work in math)
~KEEP STUDYING THOSE MATH FACTS...you could have another timed test any day now :-) :-) :-)

Question of the Day: How many "strings" are there on the instruments in a string quintet with two violins, two violas, and one cello?

Good luck my savvy students!!! Remember, the first student to answer the Question of the Day correctly will get a small prize from me the next day! :-)

HI Mrs. Kohr, It's Nicole from 3rd hour, I think that the answer to todays question is 32 strings.
