Wilson in Washington D.C.

Our brilliant and creative religion teacher made a flat "pritchard" for the 8th graders to escort her through DC. Since we were not invited to go, I too wanted to take a virtual tour with the 8th graders. Mrs. Grant made a flat "Wilson" for me. Here are some pictures of me in DC.



Thank you Sammy for making sure I made it safely!

Math properties song

Unfortunately, I was not able to post a video of you guys singing the math properties song from class. Video was too long. I am making an executive decision and telling you guys that 4th period performed the best! I am posting the video we watched during class here. Please remember the tune is catchy but the information for one property is incorrect....which property is it??

Honoring 9/11

Our lives changed on that fateful day 10 years ago today. To honor all lives lost every NFL game rolled out an American flag that covered the entire football field. If the dimensions of the flag were 100 yards by 53 1/3 yards how many square feet of material was needed to make the flag? If the fabric cost $1.78/yard how much did one flag cost?
