Exponent Ball
We've been learning about exponents. On Thursday, the students played Exponent Ball to practice using exponents, comparing values and using the power key. These are some of my fourth period students. They seemed to really enjoy the game.
You can find a copy of the game and explanation of the rules here: http://www.indiana.edu/~iucme/docs/Exponent_Ball.doc
After playing the game, the students had to complete and exit slip to demonstrate their understanding. I found this recording sheet online that I will use the next time we play this game. http://www.docstoc.com/docs/55770842/Exponent-Ball

Homework for the week of September 3, 2012
Welcome back to school. We had a wonderful first week of classes at JMS. The sixth graders have been great and are really getting into the routines of the middle school. During the first week of school, we went over classroom rules and expectations, started a Student Resource Book scavenger hunt, and assessed the students using the GMADE diagnostic test to help us determine student strengths and areas of needed growth. We will complete our testing on Tuesday, and continue our work in Unit One of Everyday Math. Each week I will post homework, upcoming assessments and special events on this blog.
Monday~ No School
Tuesday~ GMADE Assessment
Wednesday~ No Homework
Thursday~No Homework
Friday~ Lesson 1.2 Study Link

Everyday Math Parent Resource
In sixth grade, we will be using the Everyday Math curriculum, just as your child has in the elementary school. You can view the Parent Resources and Information on the following page:
You will find Study Link Help by units, Family Letters, and Do Anytime Activities. I encourage you to visit the site and become familiar with it. It is a valuable resource for helping your child with homework or extension activities.

Classroom 2012
Welcome to our classroom! This is a view from my desk area. The desks are set up in teams to facilitate the use of cooperative learning in our Reading Edge and Everyday Math Classes.
Each team is assigned a number. I used CTP's Dots on Black as our theme. These are the large dots with Dots on Black numbers attached.
This is the view from the opposite corner. I used the fabric pictured below to create another curtain the bookshelf in the back. I like to soften as many corners as possible in the classroom to give it a homey feel.
This is our general announcement board. I will use the CTP Poppin Patterns Mini Charts to anchor the menu and other important announcements.
This view shows the Math Word Wall and part of our number line. That's the bookcase the runner I made will top and cover.
Thanks for stopping by!
