Here are the problems from the Notes Station. Remember you can use your Brain Book to guide you through these problems.

Week 6 "Getting in the Groove"
Last week we made some great improvements to the flow of class. It seems you all are transitioning in to the year now, and we are ready to do some deeper learning. As they say, "Buckle up, Buttercup." :)
At the Book Station, this week we are learning divisibility rules and getting lots of practice with this important exercise.
So far in the Bicycle Station, we have almost completely dismantled an entire bike. We will be learning the part names as we sand the frame to prepare it for repainting.
At the Notes station, there are 4 different types of problems that we are using our Brain Books to guide us through.
In the Engineering Station, we are still working on cutting lengths of PVC pipe. We will be sanding, diagramming, and innovating with this resource.
At the Blog Station, we are writing about the work done at the Bicycle and Engineering Stations, and hopefully there will be a lot of pictures on students' blogs, as well.

Good Morning, it's a Wednesday, right in the middle of the week, almost the middle of the semester.
The weather is changing, winter will soon be here. The transition back to school is just about over, we are settling into our routines.
Embrace reality, if you fight it, your life will be hard.
Station 1: You will be working out of the textbook.
Station 2: You will be taking apart the bicycle, and also Divisibility Rules Practice.
Station 3: You will be working on Combining like terms, Solve for a variable, and also working on Divisibility Rules Practice.
Station 5: You will begin your Math Facts Practice, check your grades, and create a "Grade Improvement Plan" if you don't like your grade.
Progress Reports come out next week.

Algebra Periods 1 and 2:
Station 1: You will be working out of the textbook.
Station 2: You will be taking apart the bicycle, and also Divisibility Rules Practice.
Station 3: You will be working on Combining like terms, Solve for a variable, and also working on Divisibility Rules Practice.
The project seems to be coming along!
Station 5: You will begin your Math Facts Practice, check your grades, and create a "Grade Improvement Plan" if you don't like your grade.
Study Skills:
I have noticed that some people are being resistant to work on their work. The aides are here to help, please cooperate with them.
Remember, your grade should be a reflection of your effort in Study skills class. If you are getting a D or a C in a class, you are not maximizing your effort in study skills.
If you don't FEEL like working, I get it. Come and tell me, we can have a discussion.
If you don't know what to do, I get it. Please talk to me or to one of the aides to help you find what you need in order to get your work done.

Motivation Videos
Here is a video I found that took words from Gary Vaynerchuk and put them together with some video footage from someone else. He is a big fan of work hard, don't complain.
