Greetings Eagle Family! This is a friendly reminder that we will have our School Improvement Council meeting tomorrow, February 23, 2023 at 5:00 PM. We look forward to seeing you there!

Pictures of the car What is this and what does it have to do with math? This strategy was used by Ms. Cue to help students understand angle pairs - interior, alternate interior, exterior, alternate exterior, etc. You see the car is driving on the road in between the parallel lines. The interior angles are "on the road". Everything on the opposite side of the road is exterior - the exterior angles. Alternate interior angles are "on the road" but on different sides of a large crack in the road - the transversal. Cool, logical, and beneficial...all students made 100% on the exit ticket!

Ms. Cue is the master of making learning fun! Here the students are getting excited about solving word problems by bowling. How cool is that?

Ms. Cue's class learning about functions in real-life situations. Studies have shown that students learn a great deal more information and skills when they apply them to real-life situations.
