Consumer Math
We have been journaling our debits and credits. With Christmas shopping and monopoly to give us real-life transactions we are recording them in our general journals. We can clearly see the impact each transaction has on the 6 different accounting headings.

Geometry
We have been working with proofs and triangles. The class cut out triangles and used rulers, compasses and protractors to check their proof for accuracy. We enjoyed a lab where we transformed our shapes by rotating, sliding and reflecting them.

Algebra
We have been working on linear equations. The use of a dry erase board, per student, has added excitement to graphing lines. We are learning how to use our Ti-83+ calculators so we will have the advantage during the June regent.

Pre Algebra
We have been working on greatest common factors and least common multiples. The 8th graders created factor Christmas trees to decorate the classroom.

Literacy Day
Our Nativity Story Literacy Day was a great success. We read so many books about Jesus’ birth and some of us even dressed up like angels, shepherds, Mary, Joseph, and the wise kings. We had a blast!

The Ture Meaning Of Christmas
December has been so exciting! We are getting in the true spirit of Christmas by making Christmas cards for the veterans in the VA Hospital in Brooklyn. We have prayed for them and we want them to know that we love and appreciate them!

Going Green
We discuss terms such as global warming, ozone layer depletion, bioenvironmental hazards in class and they seem irrelevant; However, when students here the news and enter their community supermarkets and coffee houses they are bombarded with efforts of going green, energy conservation, recycle and saving the earth. What does this all mean??? This month our focus was on raising awareness. We learned of how all the concepts above are linked together, creating relevance. We also learned of simple things we can do to preserve our resources, and how we all must share in the responsibility to take care of the world that God has created for us to enjoy.

From Land to Sea
It might be cold outside, but it has not stopped us from designing our own sea creatures, for our Crabs Looking at Tens chart and our classroom Sea Star Quilt. These charts will help the first graders gain a greater understanding of operations and counting patterns for addition and subtraction. Counting by 10’s and 5’s.

He Is Back
The Gingerbread Man has kept in touch as he promised. He has been traveling all over the United States and sent us postcards of his journey. He is working his way back to Evangel. We have recorded his adventure on our map and can’t wait to see him again. Now he is back bearing gifts and yummy cookie ornaments to decorate!
