Happy Thanksgiving!

I hope everyone has a relaxing Thanksgiving!

Week of 11/21

What a nice and short week! The 7th grade students have their Constitution test on MONDAY!

In Course 2 the students will be starting their chapter on Integers.

In Pre-Algebra the students are starting their first geometry chapter. There will be extra practice on parallel lines available on Monday.

Week of 11/14

I am excited to be traveling with the 8th grade class to Washington D.C. this weekend. So far it looks like we will have nice weather. A big thank you to Mrs. Maass for planning such a wonderful trip and inviting me!

Next week all classes will be taking the Trimester 1 Test. This is a worksheet that has 25 problems covering all the concepts the students have learned so far. This is only going to be worth 25 points and we are doing a review the day before. There will not be any surprises.

Once the Trimester test is out of the way Course 2 students will be working with customary units and conversions. Pre-Algebra students will be starting chapter 5. Just a warning chapter 5 has a lot of vocabulary!

Week of 11/7

This is a busy week for the 7th graders.

In course 2 the students will be finishing up the chapter on fraction operations. They all really need to practice word problems. There will be a test on this on Thursday 11/10

In pre-algebra the students are working on their data project. They will have in class time on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. The project is due at the end of class on Wednesday.

There is a Choir trip on Wednesday students will be leaving around lunchtime and missing their afternoon classes.
