Week of April 8th

Hi everyone,

I hope you had a wonderful Easter break! The last few weeks of school will go by quickly, especially for 7th graders, so please stay focused!

6th grade: We are continuing in Chapter 7. The quiz grades were either great or not so great, and these skills must be mastered (combining like terms and using integer rules). This is the last extension, all signed quizzes and test corrections are due no later than TOMORROW, Tuesday, April 9th. Work deficiencies will be issued to those that do not have their quizzes signed and returned.

7th grade: We are starting Chapter 8- Polygons and Transformations. Test will be on Chapter 8 Sections 1 - 4 on Thursday, April 18th. We have our field trip and Terra Nova between now and then, so it is a little spread out.

Test information will be posted below.

As a  reminder, I will be out this Friday with Julia's class attending the strawberry picking field trip. Mrs. Heroman will be your sub. 

Have a wonderful week!

Mrs. Serpas
