The book fair will also be running all week and be open on 4-19-17! This year Ray is partnering with 57th Street Books!
Also, this week the 7th and 8th graders at Ray continue our partnership with The Revival (Hyde Parks' improv theater). Through a generous grant that Ray won from Ingenuity, we are doing an arts integration project where we are combining the process and practice of theater/improv with the mathematical practice standards. We are focused learning objectives that have students master ensemble and "yes and..." thinking. Jeff Gandy from The Revival will be co-teaching with me Mondays and Wednesdays for the next 2 weeks.
Lastly, I am continuing weekly Khan connection by giving topic students should consider for the weekly 6000 points on Khan. These topics will help the students with the content we are studying this week. Use the following search terms to find out what content we are studying this week.
