Computing — Mrs Bradbury

Welcome to Computing, 6th Grade have con-tinued with their study of HTML, they have explored creating ordered lists, as well as in-serting hyperlinks using <a ref>.

We have spent time this week learning how to find bugs, in HTML code, as well as de-bugging.

The students have nearly completed their web pages which they have created using HTML, the pages look amazing. Great job 6th Grade.

8th Grade have continued their study of Computer Science Principles, this week we have studied how colors are coded, we have used hexadecimal coding rules for colors and students have created some very impressive favicons.

We have also completed our end of unit project—Encoding an experience, where students have de-cided on a real life experience and have drawn dia-grams to represent this, as well as identifying coding components. The students have calculated the number of bits required for each component and have explained their choices. Well done 8th grade.

Approximately 70% of virus writers are said to work

under contract for organized crime syndicates.

Report cards should be

coming home with your child

today, Friday October 11th.

Please contact me if you have

any questions or comments

regarding them.

Thank you!

-Mr. T

-It is hard to believe, but we are already a

quarter way through the school year!

-I have learned a lot about DAS and how

things work at the school. I have also

gotten to know you and your expectations

as well.

-I will be looking to enter more grades

starting in the 2nd quarter to give an even

better overall picture of your child.

Reading Logs will be graded for

completion starting next week. On

Tuesday October 15th, I will be

collecting the first reading log for a

grade.

-iReady Intervention Program has

begun for both reading AND math. Next

week, I will start working with students

in small groups in both of these subjects

as well. This should be quite beneficial

to the students. :)

-Help your child at home by having them

do some multi-digit addition and

subtraction. Some students do not have

this background knowledge from prior

grades. Regrouping is especially tough

for them sometimes!

Quarter 1 Is in the Books!

At this point in the year, we’re getting

a sense of eachother. Next quarter

we’re ready to see eachother through

the remainder of the year. Keep it up.

REMEMBER

Always keep up to date on work and if you’re missing something, come

talk to me.

If you’re turning in late work online, please leave me a note in the turn-in

Listen to the

you why it can’t be

Students will be working on their individualized paths on i-Ready. I will be conferencing with individual students to review diagnostic data and set goals. Please look for an i-Ready family report that will come home with your child soon. Please discuss the results and goals with your child. This is a fantasticprogram, and I am excited about the progress we will see as the students work on their lessons.

Our small group topic is setting. Students will learn how setting impacts stories, and they will complete comprehension activities focusing on setting. At the end of the week, our smallgroup topic will change to Main Ideas/Details.

Mr. Zehnder’s Math Class Next Week: 10/14 

Important Dates!   

● Q2 starts 10/14 

● Parent Conferences on 10/16 & 17 

 

Week of 10/4 in Review: 

Geometry: We wrapped up our chapter with a look at parallel & perpendicular lines as well as the 

distance between lines. These concepts were very involved and I recommend continued practice. 

Algebra I: We were introduced to the parts of a line and learned about how to graph linear equations. 

We completed our benchmark on Thursday. 

Pre-Algebra: We began practice on chapter 2 about rates of changes and linear equations in two 

variables. 8C students began working on iReady skills practice. 

Next Week: 

Geometry: Our chapter test has been postponed and will be mid week. We will begin Chapter 3 

afterwards on transformations. This will give us more chance for mini-projects.   

Algebra I: We will keep working on chapter 3 as we explore the parts of a line and graphing lines 

such as slope, intercept and transformations.   

Pre-Algebra: We will continue working on chapter 3 concepts on tables, graphs and lines. I hope the 

visual nature of this chapter will help after the difficult chapter 2 skills. 

Zehnder News: 

Students and Parents! Parent conferences are 10/16 and 10/17. We will meet with you at your 

scheduled time to discuss progress in Q1. 

Club news! We have received copies of the AMC 8 test for middle schoolers! We will complete this 

competitive test on 11/14!
