Week of April 30th


6th grade: Spiral due Tuesday, May 1st. New Spiral goes home that day and is due Tuesday, May 8th. I announced on Monday that a test was scheduled for this Thursday. I need to change that as I had forgotten about your field trip Wednesday, we will not meet that day. Test will cover Chapter 9 sections 1 - 3, and I will announce in class on Tuesday what new date will be (it will be early in the week of May 7th). 


7th grade: Spiral due Tuesday, May 1st. Remember that I will accept two answers for # 8, we went over this in class. Test has been moved to Wednesday, May 2nd. Test will cover same material as review sheet indicates, though make sure you omit III. C. as we discussed in class. This test is the last major test grade! Study guides will go home this Friday and are due Monday, May 14th for a total of 15 points. Signed tests and test corrections are due Tuesday, May 1st. Your last spiral of the year (!!!!!) will go home Tuesday, May 1st and is due Tuesday, May 8th.


Have a great week!

Week of April 23rd

Hi everyone,


Sorry to post late. Both grades have spirals due on Tuesday, May 1st


6th grade did a much better job on their last tests! All tests must be signed (regardless of grade) and returned to school by Friday 4/27. Test corrections- which are optional, and are the only bonus in class, are also due on Friday. Next test date is TBA. We are working on scale and then moving on to percents in chapter 9. 


7th grade- I am still grading your last tests, will get those back ASAP. Your next test is Tuesday, May 1st. Review sheets were passed out Wednesday. This test covers volume of pyramids, cones, prisms and cylinders (formulas on test) as well as slope.


Have a great week and weekend!

Week of April 10th

Hello everyone,

I hope that you are having a wonderful break! I am at working at school during break- and some of you (probably parents) might be looking ahead. 4th nine weeks flies by- especially for 7th grade- so here are some upcoming dates.



6th grade: Your tests will be passed back on Tuesday, 4/10 (the day we return from break). I will be out Wednesday due to my son's field trip, and out Thursday with the 7th graders on our field trip to Avery Island. We will be continuing in Chapter 8- ratios, rate, proportions. Next test date is TBA. Spiral due the day we return (Tuesday 4/10) with the new spiral going home that day as well, and due the following Tuesday 4/17.


7th grade: Tests were passed out the day before Easter break- and overall you did a FABULOUS job! :) Well done! Signed tests and test corrections due Friday 4/13. Spiral 2 due the day we return- Tuesday 4/10. Spiral 3 will go out Tuesday 4/10, due Tuesday 4/17. Next test is on Wednesday 4/18- Chapter 10 Sections 1 -3. Remember you must memorize the formulas from this section! We will pick up some sections from several chapters, so from here through the end of the year no more chapter tests.


It seems soon to say this- but study guides will be here before we know it. Your math study guide will be passed out on Friday, May 4th and is due on Monday, May 14th for a total of 15 points (one homework check). 


Exams are scheduled as follows: 
1st & 3rd hour Thursday 5/17 (dismissal at 11:35)
4th & 5th hour Friday 5/18 (dismissal at 11:35)
6th & 7th hour Monday 5/21 (dismissal TBA)


Have a wonderful and blessed Easter!
