Happy Halloween

I hope that everyone has a fun and safe Halloween!

Next week in Course 2 we will be working on fraction operations. We will focus more on word problems and there is a quiz on Friday 11/4.

Pre Algebra students have quickly mastered chapter 4. They will be starting their project on Thursday of next week. Although in class time will be given they might need to do some things on their own outside of class.

Week of 10/24

This week is Red Ribbon Week. The students had an assembly today to kick off the week. The video presentation was very interesting and a great discussion topic with your child.


This week in Course 2 we are wrapping up Chapter 4. There will be a test on Wednesday!

In Pre-Algebra we are starting Chapter 4: Data. There will be a quiz on Thursday and a project at the end of the chapter.

Week of 10/17

The 7th grade students did an excellent job on their projects. They are graded and in the grade book as a Sunday at 3:30.

I am looking forward to parent teacher conferences this Thursday, it is always nice to touch base with parents face to face.

This week in Course 2 we are working on Chapter 4. Chapter 4 is just the beginning of fractions where we are focusing on Greatest Common Factor and Least Common Multiple. The students will have a quiz on TUESDAY 10/18.

In Pre-Algebra we are just wrapping up chapter 3, Fractions. There will be a test on FRIDAY 10/21. Remember that there is extra practice in the book as well as in the back of my classroom. As always I am available at 7:20 to reteach concepts to my pre-algebra students.

This week is also Bus Safety week, Mr. Tom Tiede will be practicing evacuation drills with the students. Now is a good time to talk to your child about appropriate bus behavior so that everyone can remain safe!

Week of 10/10

I hope everyone has a wonderful 4 day weekend. This is a very exciting weekend for me, my sister is getting married!

When the students come back to school Wednesday 10/12 they have a short but busy week. Course 2 students will be turning in their "Are you an average 7th grader?" project at the start of classes on Wednesday. They have had a lot of in class time to work in it and everyone should be ready to turn it in. After that we will be starting Chapter 4. This week we will be looking into prime factorization and greatest common factor to prep for fractions.

Pre-Algebra students will have a quiz over fraction operations on Wednesday. I have made copies of extra practice problems to help them prepare for this. The sections covered will be 3-1 to 3-5. We will then move on to solving equations with rational numbers. The students are getting more practice with solving equations and hopefully by the end of this chapter they will all be pros at it!

Week of October 3rd

I had a great time on Wednesday night watching the Spartans play on the DGS field. The team looked great unfortunately they did not win the big game.

Miss Coppeletta and the cheerleaders have worked very hard over the past few weeks and their routine looked amazing! I was there to see these girls try out and it is wonderful to see them come together as a team.

Are You An Average 7th Grader? The students in my course 2 class will be finding out this week. They will be working with the different types of data displays to create a poster or book. The students will be able to work with a partner or on their own and they will have plenty of time to work in class.
The final project is due Wednesday October 12th.

Pre-Algebra students are beginning chapter 3. This chapter deals more with fractions and decimals.

There are no tests or quizzes this week in math.
