math tasks

Grade 7
Students have review work for their mid-module assessment which will be Monday & Tuesday,
April 16 & 17th. The review work consists of two packets (1-3) & (4-7), and
 Lsn 2-3 Subtracting  Integers.  We have been working on these in class.

Grade 8
The Pythagorean Theorem continues to be our area of focus. A packet, "Maintaining School Grounds" uses the Pythagorean Theorem to find lengths in various situations.  Area of a Quadrilateral is another task which requires problem  solving skills to figure out a way to find the area since the shape itself does not have a formula. We have been working on both of these this week in class.

math tasks

We are working with volumes of prisms and cylinders along with the corresponding formulas.  Last week we worked with Popcorn Prisms Anyone ? and this week we are working with Popcorn Cylinders Anyone? both of which should be completed by this Friday.  Students also have TenMarks assignments to do.

Science Weathering, Erosion & Deposition

This week, we did a fun, kinesthetic activity to model the processes of weathering, erosion and deposition.  Students enjoyed the physical activity after SBAC testing for ELA.  Here are some videos of them in action

Team Breakfast and Report Cards

Dear Sterling Families,

It is that time of year! Time to celebrate our accomplishments from Trimester 2 with a team breakfast. Our breakfast will be held on Friday April 13, 2018 at 7:30 am. If possible, we would like to have breakfast items delivered around 7:15 am. I will be available from 7:00am on in our Team Sterling Area (room 241). Here is the link to sign up: http://signup.com/go/YQqdoVP

You can email Katrina Antonovich to sign up as well! Her email is kantonovich@mymtsd-vt.org

Additionally, report cards from Trimester 2 were mailed home this week. Report cards were printed without being able to resolve technological glitches, therefore, some teacher comments and some assessed standards are not being properly reported. Please contact your student’s teacher(s) if you are missing information or have concerns or comments about understanding the report card.

Sincerely,
Team Sterling Teachers
