Yeah team! We took second place in our regional competition which means we are on our way to Madison for the state wide competition in May. How awesome is that!?
Our team members are Tim, Dylan, Kelsey and Kelsey from 8th grade; Brandon, Trey, Mikaela and Tiffany from 7th grade. Be sure to congratulate them!

March 17th
Lots have happened since the last post.
8th Grade
Algebra is into Chapter 6 and will be taking a quiz tomorrow. 8-2 has just finished their chapter on Quadratic Relationships and I am happy to report a class average of 87% on the test! Great job! We will be starting the next chapter on Symmetry. I am looking forward to seeing the strengths of the artistic thinkers in this chapter!
7th Grade
Well, the dreaded Integers unit is over...you all survived! Please remember what we talked about in class, the rules of that chapter are not to be forgotten, we will be using them throughout the rest of the chapters. Our newest journey is into the chapter Moving Straight Ahead. This is another challenging chapter in which we will be looking at some basic Algebraic concepts. We will be doing a lot of graphing to explore linear relationships and we will learn how to write and solve linear equations. Remember to get extra help as soon as you think you need it rather than waiting until it's too late!
Contest
I was a bit disappointed in the entries to the Name My Blog Contest. A little more seriousness would have been appreciated. But...the top 6 entries have been chosen and are posted as a poll for you to vote on. Please be sure to cast your vote! The polls will close on April 1st.
Vacation
My short vacation to Mexico was wonderful! I had a great time with my friends and got some much needed relaxation on the beach. I am trying to post some photos as a slideshow but am still a little technologically challenged so keep watching for that in the future.
