7th grade math- there is a lot of vocabulary/memorization on the next test (which I have not yet scheduled, it will be after Terra Nova testing).
If you want to get a head start on vocabulary -you need to know the terms from 8.1 - 8.4, some are easy to confuse.
8.1: straight, right, compl., supp. angles, parallel, perpendicular lines, corresponding angles, vertical angles
8.2: acute, right, obtuse angles and triangles
euqilateral, isosceles, scalene triangles
8.3: quadrilateral, trapezoid, parallelogram, rhombus, rectangle, square
8.4: polygon, pentagon, hexagon, heptagon, octagon, decagon, 12-gon

Hi everyone,
I hope this sunshine and beautiful weather isn't causing brain-drain...I'm concerned about my students! Lots of students have already used their freebies this nine weeks (which means another missed homework is 0/3) and several people haven't been doing homework. We are now seven days into the nine weeks----not good people!
6th grade---I can't stress enough that you need to know the integer rules backwards and forwards. We're moving on in class, and not knowing these sign rules will really hurt you in equations!
7th grade--- you have a MAJOR test THIS FRIDAY and many of you didn't seem to know what was going on today when you did the warm-up. Please, please start working problems at home and asking questions in class. No one came in for help session today, I will offer another one Thursday at recess in Ms. Michael's room.
The fourth nine weeks flies by, and before you know it, it will be time for progress reports. So please make every point count, I have faith in each and every one of you! :)

Week of March 21st
Hi everyone,
I hope you are enjoying this beautiful weather as much as my family and I are!
The week ahead: Spirals will go home Tuesday 3/22, and are due Tuesday 3/29.
6th grade: We are continuing in Chapter 7 this week. No quizzes or tests.
7th grade: Ch. 7 test Friday 3/25 sections 1 - 7. Review sheets will go home Monday.
Remember, keep up with your homework and spirals! As a reminder, spirals are not accepted late (unless student has an excused absence). Get them turned in early if you finish early. These points really add up and can mean the difference of a letter grade.
Have a great week everyone!
