Week of August 29th

Hi everyone,


Hope you enjoyed the weekend!


Remember- spiral 2 is due this Tuesday, 8/3o. I think there was a mistake on the 7th grade spiral, I do not have a copy at home, so I will correct in class tomorrow.


6th grade- tests will be passed back as soon as make-up tests are completed. We are finishing up a few things from Chapter 1 this week and starting Chapter 2. No quizzes or tests this week, spiral due Tuesday.


7th grade- Major test this Wednesday 8/31. Though I said you would not have a chapter 2 test, now that I have looked at the material, it is pretty close to being a major chapter test (coordinate plane will not be on the test). The review sheet for this week's test went home last week. Remember- if it isn't on the sheet, it isn't on the test. If it is on the sheet- better be prepared!!! This is a 100-point test.


Spiral due Tuesday.


6th and 7th grade: Spiral 3 will be passed out this Tuesday. It is due the day we return from Labor Day holiday, on Tuesday 9/6. Make plans now! Might be best to get it turned in Friday before the break. :) 


Have an awesome week everyone!

6th grade test tomorrow!

Hi- 6th grade- don't forget- no written homework tonight but I do recommend you work Review Quiz 1 on pg. 25. Work that and study vocabulary words and you will be in great shape! I am posting the answers below.

One more thing!

One more thing! Really important! 


Please remember that I require parents to sign ALL math tests- regardless of grade- even the 100's! This keeps everyone in "the know." 


7th grade quizzes must be signed/returned by this Wednesday 8/25. If quizzes are not returned on this day- students will receive a work deficiency (regardless of grade).


Once I have checked for parent signature, students will keep the quizzes/tests in their binder or exam folder.

Week of August 22nd

Hello everyone,


I hope you are enjoying the weekend! 


6th grade: *Spiral due this Tuesday. 
*Test this Thursday 8/25- Ch. 1 Sections 1- 5, review sheets will go home Monday.


7th grade: *Spiral due this Tuesday. No quizzes or tests this week.
*Quizzes will go home Monday- overall y'all did a GREAT job! I am attaching review sheets to some quizzes- these need to be completed and turned in by Monday, August 29th. I can't stress enough how important it is for every student to master integer operations/integer rules. 
*We will start with the last few sections of Ch. 2 this week- Properties. Next quiz date is TBA- remember- there will not be a chapter 2 test.


Have a wonderful week everyone!


Mrs. Serpas

7th grade- Quiz tomorrow

Reminder- 7th grade has a quiz tomorrow. I did not send home yellow review sheets as this is not a major test. Quiz format was listed in class:
1.) Adding, Subtracting, Multiplying, Dividing two or more integers
2.) Evaluating Integer Expressions (addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division).


How can you/your child review? WORK PROBLEMS! Work odd problems from the sections the quiz covers (Ch. 2 sections 2 - 5) and check the answers in the back of the book.


You can also look on this site underneath the fish, click on printable worksheets, find integers, then print some worksheets with integers (all operations). This is a great resource as the key is also printed.


Remember- I am available for help Wednesday through Friday mornings in my room (M-15) 8:10 - 8:30.


Have a great weekend everyone!

Open House/First full week of school

Hello,


Thanks to all of the many parents who came to Open House tonight! I hope that many of your questions were answered either in person or  through the handout. If you have any other questions, or were unable to attend, please email me, lserpas@aloysius.org. We also have many handouts left and will be happy to send them home with your child.


Week of 8/15: 


*6th grade- We are continuing in Chapter 1. No quizzes or tests this week. We will cover sections 1 - 7 in the next week and a half, test TBA. Spiral 1 will go home this Tuesday and is  due the following Tuesday, 8/23.


*7th grade- We will continue with Chapter 2 this week, quiz this Friday, 8/19 on integer operations (Chapter 2 sections 2 - 5). This should all be a review for you! This will be a simple 20-25 question test- no partial credit on this one. No review sheet for this- look for those for the major tests. This chapter is a little different- you will not be tested on the chapter as a whole. Your second quiz will cover Chapter 2 sections 6 and 7 (number properties). When we complete Chapter 2, we will go back to Chapter 1. 
Spiral 1 will go home this Tuesday and is due the following Tuesday, 8/3.


Have a great week everyone!


Mrs. Serpas

First week of School

Hi,


I hope that everyone is having a great first week of school! Just a reminder to check this site at least once a week for information on spiral due dates, upcoming quizzes and tests, etc. I will not post daily assignments on this- you need to copy them from the board in the classroom.


All students must turn in their homework letters - signed by a parent/your parents- tomorrow (Friday). If these are not turned in, a work deficiency will be issued. Please get these turned in.


Have a wonderful weekend everyone!


Mrs. Serpas
