Basketball Homecoming 2010

Homecoming 2010 has come and gone. Although we lost both games, we did honor our seniors, recognize those who worked so hard to get us a set of permanent bathrooms by the football field, and saw our Homecoming King and Queen crowned. We had our pep assembly and even had a small assembly over at Sam Adams Elementary (Thanks for the suggestion Mrs. Voss!). It's always a bit of a let-down when it's over, but it does allow us to get back to our real joy, the business of education.

Math Focus

I can use data to find the mean, median and mode. The mean is also called the average. The median is called the middle number. The mode is the number that occurs the most.

English Focus

I can summarize and paraphrase what I read by putting it in my own words.
