Week of May 7th

Hi everyone,


We're winding down! Hang in there!!!


Just a reminder that I will be out most of the week next week- and will be back at school mid-day Thursday. I will not have access to email while I am gone, please keep that in mind.


6th grade: Students need to bring calculators to class daily! Test is on Tuesday, May 8th. Review sheets went home this past week. Calculators allowed on the percent proportion part of the test only. Spiral due Tuesday, May 8th. Last spiral of the nine weeks will go out on the 8th and is due Tuesday May 15th. 


7th grade: Study guides were passed out Friday. Due to a very busy schedule, some students were not in class. Extra study guides are on the back table of the classroom. Please read the directions carefully! I will have one homework check for these (it is not split into 3 as it was last semester), on Monday, May 14th- study guide is worth 15 points.


Most of the test grades from the most recent test (Volume of solids) were very good. I have decided to give one last opportunity for points- there will be a "graded activity" on Friday, May 11th covering functions and graphing linear equations (see Chapter 11 sections 1 and 4). This will be worth 20 - 25 points and will be completed in class.


Have a wonderful week everyone!!
