First week of May!

Hi everyone,

Can you believe we made it to the first week of May? Seems like our first class in August was ages ago....I'm glad that we have made it to May. Hang in there a few more weeks everyone!

7th grade first---I know you are anxious about exams (or at least should be thinking about them!). We do have a very busy week, but not a moment will be wasted. Some due dates to keep in mind:
1.) Monday- Last spiral (!!!!!)
2.) Monday- Study guide Part I
3.) Monday- **test corrections and signed test
**Remember that for this test I will allow you to earn 1.5 points "back" for every 3 point question...this includes the volume questions.


Tuesday: Study Guide Part II

Wednesday: Study Guide Part III

*Monday through Wednesday will be spent on study guide review. Students will be able to work on their study guides Monday and Tuesday during class, and all answers will be given in class on Wednesday. Thursday and Friday will also be study guide review. This is a time for students to ask questions about particular problems from the study guide and/or sections (example- percent proportion). Our math exam is the first exam...and will be held Monday morning May  10th. Students will need a calculator for this. All home copies of textbooks must be turned in during finals week as well. 

I will hold an OPTIONAL review session for both of my 7th grade math classes on Friday after school. Students may bring a drink and snack, we will get started after school and students should be picked up promptly at 4:45 from middle school carpool. I will send home a permission slip tomorrow.

If you have any questions or concerns, please email me!


6th grade: Test review tomorrow (Monday), and test Tuesday covering solving equations (addition, subtraction, multiplication and division). I will send home a practice test and key tomorrow. It is important to do your best on this test as it is one of the last major grades of the nine weeks.


Spirals were ready Friday though not all students received one (teacher/printer error!). They will be due this Friday. This is the last spiral of the nine weeks, make sure every answer is correct!


I have decided to give out a one-time bonus assignment. The work will go home tomorrow and is due FRIDAY, May 7th. Credit will be given for correct answers only (with work shown of course), I have not yet decided the maximum point value but it will most likely be in the five to ten point range. I will not accept bonus after this Friday, no exceptions.


Have a great week everyone!


Mrs. Serpas
