PARCC/MCAS Week! May 4-8

Hi all,

As you know, we have been PARCC testing for math this week. We tested Monday and Wednesday. We also had the Museum of Science come in and do an awesome presentation on heating and temperature. Some parents came in to chat with students about their science/math/engineering jobs. My father, Mr. Tony Eringis, came in to talk to the kids about his job. The student enjoyed the presentations! Today and tomorrow we are Science MCAS testing. The students have shortened classes.

Because I was proctoring the PARCC math test on Monday and Wednesday, the students did not have math class at all. There was no homework or classwork that needed to be completed for math class for those days. Also, the presentations on Tuesday means that we also did not have math class on that day, and therefore no classwork or homework necessary.

Today, in Pre-Algebra class, we are going to learn about volume and surface area of cylinders. We will work with the equations and determine where the equations come from. There will not be homework tonight, since there is Science MCAS tomorrow.

Today, in Algebra class, we are going to practice all of the different types of factoring that we have been working on. There will not be homework tonight, since there is Science MCAS tomorrow.
