You will have class time to work on Math study guide/review on Thursday and Friday this week.

Updates to 7th grade info!

Hello all,

Please make a note of these important changes.

OMIT 10.6 from packet. DO NOT throw it away, the other side (10.3) is still due along with other sheet (10.1 & 10.2)!

Packet is due THURSDAY May 9th, not Friday, May 10th as written on sheets. I did not verify this date with school calendar, and Thursday is the cut - off for things such as this.

Exam Study Guide will go home Tuesday and is due in 3 parts: Part I due Friday 5/10, Part II due Monday 5/13, Part III due Tuesday 5/14. Students are welcome to show their completed study guide parts ahead of due date.

Thanks!

There will be at least one more test, a geometry poster project, the packet, and homework grades left this nine weeks. I also have spirals to return tomorrow.

The gold sheets do not need to be turned in, only the white sheets. You must show work- either on worksheet or on looseleaf which must be turned in.
