Hey Everyone,

   I hope you all had a great week and were able to find some ways to stay cool during that mini heat wave :)    Here are your learning options for this week.

Math - Dreambox is the main option for working on math.  There is still time to get your password if you have not already, just send me an email.  Also, if you are having any difficulties, do not be afraid to reach out.

Math-drills.com is another good source of math work.  Grade 6's should focus on area and perimeter of polygons, while grade 8's should look for work on circumference and area of circles.

A good no-tech option for this week would be to calculate the area and perimeter of your backyards.  Remember that the area of a rectangle can be found with the formula A = l x w.

I have also posted another problem of the week for those who are interested, as well as the answers to last weeks problem.

Science - Your challenge this week is to find a recipe to make in your very own kitchen.  It could be an old family favorite or a new recipe from a cook book or website like this one. Take the time to make it from scratch and enjoy the end product with your family.  YUM!   More information can be found on the attached document.

Have a great week!

Mr. Richard
