Week of March 15th

Hello all,

What a beautiful weekend! I hope that everyone enjoyed it. I hope that the warmer weather is going to stick around for a while!

6th grade: Enjoy your field trip tomorrow. Your test is Tuesday and will cover Chapter 6 sections 1 - 4 (Integers, absolute value). Test review sheets went home last week. Make sure you know the integer rules backwards and forwards (the integer rules including examples are also listed on the back of the review sheet). Spirals will also go home on Tuesday, due the following Tuesday (3/23).

7th grade: Test Wednesday on Chapter 9 Sections 1-4. Spirals will also go home on Tuesday, due Tuesday 3/23.

Both classes: If you were disappointed in your third nine weeks grade, make sure you are doing your part. Are you completing all of your homework assignments? Turning in spirals AFTER having them checked over? Remember---no late credit on spirals, if you don't turn them in by the due date you will receive a zero. Are you working test corrections for bonus credit? And of course last but not least, are you being attentive in class, asking questions, and preparing for tests? If you feel like you are doing all of these things but are still not as successful as you would like to be, please talk to me so we can get a game plan together.

Have a great week, make it count!
