 Hello everyone, 

It is hard to believe that the school year has gone this fast so far!  We are already in December, and our break is upon us.  

There is no homework over the break.  I hope you all have a wonderful two weeks off.

It is a pleasure to be able to serve as teacher for such a wonderful group of students.  

If you celebrate Christmas, I wish you a very Merry Christmas.  If you celebrate Hanukkah, I wish you a very Happy Hanukkah.  And to everyone, I hope you have a very happy holiday season.

Mr. Carr

Hello everyone, 

Here is tonight's homework....

Math - Please use the work we did today on probability trees to answer the question below.  If you struggle, that is okay, but please use the work in your duotange that we did today in class.  If you struggle, please come for class prepared with questions.  (Due tomorrow)

Tina has 2 yellow socks, 2 green socks & 2 orange socks in her drawer.  She pulls out two socks to wear, but does so randomly - one sock at a time.  What is the probability that she will pull out a mixed pair of socks to wear?  

Create a probability tree, and write your answer in fraction form.

 Hello everyone, 

Welcome to our class homework blog.  This is where you will find your homework each night.  The expectation is that you will check the blog each and every night, and complete the homework necessary.

A few things to be aware of...

1)  I am not a huge fan of homework, so I don't usually assign a lot.  With that said, what I do assign I expect you will complete.  

2)  If you cannot complete your homework, please have a note from a parent/guardian explaining why.  I recognize things come up, so it's no problem.  But I would like the note please.

3)  If you ever need an extension on homework or assignments, that is fine, but please do not wait until the last minute to ask.  This homework blog is here to help us plan ahead.

Here is tonight's homework....

Parent/Guardian Letter - Please show the parent/guardian letter to your family.  Thank you :)  (Due Friday)

  Good evening everyone :)

Learning Day- If we have time tomorrow I would like to provide some of this time.  Today was some free time, but I can tell that students are enjoying time together and are not feeling like learning :)  I apologize that we ran out of time and I did not get you this day.  I was intending to do so this week, but we ran out of time.  If you would like to bring resources tomorrow, I am happy to provide some time for you to work on this.

Stories - Please bring your stories with you to school tomorrow.  I was planning on having you read them to the class, but it doesn't look like we will have time.  I would like to read them though!  Thank you!

Tomorrow (Wednesday) - Please come dressed for the weather, with a water bottle and sunscreen.  We are hoping to be able to spend some time having fun outside.

Have a great evening,

Mr. Carr
