Protractors

We'll be starting our Geometry unit on Monday, and will begin by exploring angles.  I'd meant to ask students to bring in a protractor for Monday in class today, but I forgot.  If you're checking this blog and have one, or can get one, please send it with your child on Monday.  I have several of them in the class and students can share.  However, the more protractors we get means, the more hands-on practice students can get.

I also wanted to apologize for not updating the blog the last 2 weeks.  I've been busy marking and starting to write report cards.  I will provide an update for next week, and try to be more consistent with keeping you inform!
