November 15 -19

Good day everybody:

We will be having an early dismissal on Wednesday, so the AST staff can meet in their SACS committees. Please make sure to make the necessary arrangements.

I would like to wish good luck to the basketball teams who will be representing us in the ABSH tournament in San Pedro Sula. Go Eagles!!!

Please take a look at what we will be working with this week.

6th Grade
We have begun our fraction number theory unit. We started with divisibility rules, tricks or shortcuts that can help us check for divisibility without having to do the actual division. Please make sure you study and practice these at home. A video with the way they work has been posted, and students already have a hard copy of them.

We will also review prime and composite numbers, and use the concepts to find the prime factorization of any composite number. We will use the factor tree, as well as a factor table, to work them out. Check out the different links posted about these topics.

A quiz on divisibility rules, prime and composite numbers, and prime factorization, will take place on Tuesday, November 23. Students will also have a mini project assigned on them, too.

Cívica
Esta semana terminaremos con la unidad de los Derechos Humanos. La prueba sobre la misma tendrá lugar el Martes 23 de Noviembre. Posteriormente iniciaremos la unidad de los centros Escolares, donde estudiaremos la organización de nuestra propia escuela.

Have a great week,

Mrs. Hesse
