Welcome back!

Week of January 5th

Hello everyone,

I hope you had a wonderful holiday! It's time to get back into the groove, and the first spirals of the new year were passed out Tuesday and are due next Tuesday, January 12th. 6th grade will be spending time on 6.8 this week, the Coordinate plane. We will then move backwards and pick up with the first sections of the chapter covering integers. This material is VERY IMPORTANT and the integer rules must be memorized and applied!!! Quiz Wednesday, January 13th, covering 6.8.

7th grade -starting Chapter 6 this week, solving multi-step equations and equations with variables on each side. Quiz on Ch. 6 Sections 1-3 next week, Wednesday, January 13th.

Keep up with your homework and get those spirals turned in on time! Remember, no late credit for spirals as they are worth five points. Traditionally grades seem to slump in the third nine weeks, so put forth your best efforts.

Let me know if you have any questions and have a great week!

Thank you!

A big THANK YOU to my wonderful students and their parents! The Christmas gifts were so generous and overwhelming, I am so blessed to work at such a wonderful school and be a part of that community.

I wanted to share with you that I spent some of my Christmas money on a "flip" video recorder and I love it! I wanted to have that before Christmas so I could record all the fun of that day. I also plan to use this at school in our classes, and can't wait to show it to you.

Again, many thanks, and I hope your Christmas is full of joy.

Love,
Mrs. Serpas

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas to you and your family! I hope that everyone has a wonderful two weeks off with their family...and I don't want you to think about math, I don't want to either! :) Enjoy two weeks off of homework, tests, spirals and exams.

I am so proud of my 7th graders who did a fantastic job on their exams. Way to go! I expect those grades on your tests from now on.... :)

Merry Christmas and I'll see you in 2010!

Love,
Mrs. Serpas

Thanks to all the 7th graders AND their parents who braved the rain and in general yuckiness to stay for the math session today. Everyone worked hard, and I hope it will pay off! Tomorrow we will continue working on exam-type problems in preparation for the exam a.k.a. "big December test" that is Wednesday morning. Make sure you mark any problems that you are still unsure of (two-step equations, inequalities, fractions, etc.) so we can cover those in class tomorrow.

6th graders-I will return your tests tomorrow, hopefully you did well! Sitting down to grade now that I have dried off some. :)

See you tomorrow!

Mrs. Serpas
