Week of February 8th

Hi everyone,

Just a few notes about the upcoming week.

6th grade- Spiral due on Tuesday at the beginning of class. You have a test on this Wednesday, 2/10, on Ch. 4 Sections 1 - 4. Though it only covers four sections, there is a LOT of information and vocabulary in these sections, please refer to the gold study sheet that went home Friday for test information and format. This test will cover information from the previous test (including the same vocabulary words) but a greater emphasis will be placed on the last two sections. As of Friday we have covered all test information and Monday and Tuesday will be review days. Following the test, we will begin our project (which goes along with the poster board you brought) which will be done entirely in-class; this project will finish up our Geometry unit. We will then go back to Chapter 6 to start our integer unit.

7th grade- Spiral due on Tuesday at the beginning of class. Test Thursday 2/11 on Ch.7 Sections 1- 7. Please refer to the bright gold test review sheet that was passed out on Friday. We have two more sections to cover before the test, but started one of these sections on Friday. We will cover the rest of the information on Monday from section 6 and cover section 7 on Tuesday, Wednesday is a review day. This is a major test that will cover a lot of information! All students should have a calculator for this test. Any calculator is fine, scientific calculators are not necessary.

Both grades: to prepare for your tests, re-work homework problems, use the online book and tutorials, work odd problems from the book (and check your answers in the back of the book), make flashcards for vocabulary, etc.

I will pass out a new spiral one day this week that will be due Tuesday, February 23rd. I am allowing extra time for those of you who will be going out of town for Mardi Gras. As always, you may turn in spirals early. For those of you going out of town for Mardi Gras, I do not give out specific assignments in advance as they are always based on what we accomplish during class. You may turn in your spiral early if you would like. 6th grade will be finishing a project, and 7th grade will be working on an activity based on Chapter 7 so you should not have much to make up.

I will not be at school on Monday as I am going to Miami for the Super Bowl with my husband. I look forward to telling you about the trip when I return on Tuesday. Ms. Scafide will be your substitute on Monday and I have left plenty of test review work for you to do. I also left a list of names of people who received work deficiencies, if they are not turned in on Monday you will receive a referral. So get those signed and turned in!

Have a great week, and I will leave you with a last.....

WHO DAT!!!!
