Students have been continuing on with the Measurement Unit and have been showing me that they are really feeling confident in this material! Over the past few days students have been practicing metric conversions, utilizing the "King Henry Died By Drinking Chocolate Milk" mnemonic device. Though this is not historically correct, it seems to do the trick in trying to remember all the prefixes :-)
Over the next few days students will continue on with measurement but take a step into application of their knowledge. Seventh graders will partake in what I call "The Metric Maze". I have stations around my room with different scenarios and activities to use their metric/ measurement knowledge. I am eager to see how well the kids do!
As a side note, I will be out of school on Thursday, Friday and Monday. When I return I will be Mrs. Gemmell! As stated prior and even at Open House, I will keep you posted with email changes through my blog, though for now, all is the same!
