Week of 9/6

Hello everyone,

Hope that you had a wonderful Labor Day weekend! Short week ahead- but a lot to do. 

FYI: Spiral grades are really hurting some overall averages. Remember--- these are grade boosters or grade busters. Some students aren't turning these in, or are not having someone check them over before turning them in, or working only a few problems. Progress reports go home next week, and several students' grades have been significantly impacted by failure to turn in spirals.
      Spirals are passed out on Tuesdays and are due back the next Tuesday. Students may turn these in early!

6th grade: Quiz this Friday- review sheets went home today (Tuesday). Quiz will cover 1.5, 1.6 and 2.1.
*Spiral 4 due Tuesday 9/13

7th grade: Overall I am VERY PLEASED with the Ch. 2 test grades! 1/3 of you made an A, and a very close number made a B! Way to go!
   Please remember that I require parents to sign all tests, regardless of grade. Signed tests are due Thursday 9/8 (once I check for signature they are yours to keep). Test corrections, the only form of bonus that I offer, are due Friday, 9/9.
   
Some reminders about test corrections:
*Pencil only
*Work all missed problems on loose-leaf, then staple this to the front of the test page.
*If you missed a property, write the property along with the definition and an example of that property (you may use the exampes from the test).
*Test corrections are worth up to 3 bonus points -- these are added in at the end of the nine weeks.

I offer help sessions Wednesday, Thursday and Friday mornings in my classroom (M-15) from 8:10 - 8:30. Stop by to ask a question or two, work problems, get ahead, etc.

I will not be able to meet Wed. 9/7 due to a faculty meeting. I will have help session Thursday and Friday though.

Please email me if you have any questions.

Thanks and have a wonderful week!

Mrs. Serpas
