Week of September 10th

I know many students were heading to Darien Fest this weekend. I hope that everyone had a nice time, it was great weather!

This week in Course 2 we will be wrapping up chapter 1. The chapter 1 test will be on Tuesday September 11th. If you are looking for a good review I highly recommend the Chapter Test in the back of the book or using www.classzone.com. 

In Pre-Algebra we will be moving onto Chapter 2: Integers. This is a great chapter and we will be solving equations, a focus of the entire year. Remember that it is important to build a strong  base with integers and solving equations so that we are able to get to more advanced algebraic equations.
