Parents,

Please plan on attending the Commissioners Budget Forum next Tuesday, May 8 at 7pm. Education funding is once again being threatened and we need all the support we can get! Our students' futures depend on the support we give them! For more information, including the address:

http://www.ccgov.org/public_notice/2013proposedbudget.cfm

Also, I'm not sure if you're aware or not, but there will be three "Curriculum Information Nights" occurring around Cecil County. These nights will address our Nation's educational reform and what we can expect in the next few years. The dates are:

Tonight 5/1 @ Bohemia Manor Middle School

Tomorrow, students will be given a rubric to help them construct a Carnival game that requires participants to use their knowledge of probability and develop games of chance (not skill). see attached rubric

Students are currently discovering concepts revolving around area and volume; however, we are revisiting probability as a means to strengthen their skills and apply what they've learned in previous units into a real-life assessment of their overall knowledge and 'take-aways' from the previous unit.

The Carnival will be held in the cafeteria next WEDNESDAY, APRIL 25TH. All are encouraged and welcome to come during your student's class period.

Mon 4/16 volume; pyramids

Tues 4/17 volume; cones

Wed 4/18 volume; spheres

 * Today was our unit 5 assessment. The class did an excellent job! The breakdown was:**
 * A's - 12**
 * B's = 8**
 * C's = 5**
 * D's = 1**
 * F's = 0**


 * I've emailed each student and/or parents separately to let them know how they did today. I'm doing this because the assessment will count in marking period 3 and students will not be able to see these grades until I'm able to put them into powerschool. Several students expressed an interest in knowing earlier, so the score in the subject line of the email reflects the score your child earned.**


 * Have a GREAT weekend!**
