Hello all,
What a beautiful weekend! I hope that everyone enjoyed it. I hope that the warmer weather is going to stick around for a while!
6th grade: Enjoy your field trip tomorrow. Your test is Tuesday and will cover Chapter 6 sections 1 - 4 (Integers, absolute value). Test review sheets went home last week. Make sure you know the integer rules backwards and forwards (the integer rules including examples are also listed on the back of the review sheet). Spirals will also go home on Tuesday, due the following Tuesday (3/23).
7th grade: Test Wednesday on Chapter 9 Sections 1-4. Spirals will also go home on Tuesday, due Tuesday 3/23.
Both classes: If you were disappointed in your third nine weeks grade, make sure you are doing your part. Are you completing all of your homework assignments? Turning in spirals AFTER having them checked over? Remember---no late credit on spirals, if you don't turn them in by the due date you will receive a zero. Are you working test corrections for bonus credit? And of course last but not least, are you being attentive in class, asking questions, and preparing for tests? If you feel like you are doing all of these things but are still not as successful as you would like to be, please talk to me so we can get a game plan together.
Have a great week, make it count!

I hope that you enjoyed this beautiful weekend. WE HAVE MADE IT TO THE FOURTH NINE WEEKS! CONGRATS to us all. :)
No spirals this week!
6th grade we will continue to work on integers this week. Test next Tuesday 3/16 on Integers (comparing, ordering, absolute value, add., sub., mult. and div.). Test review sheets will go home this week.
7th grade we will start Chapter 9 (Real numbers and triangles) today; no tests this week.
Have a great week!

Week of March 1st
Hi everyone,
I hope you are enjoying this beautiful weather! I am so happy to see the sunshine today.
We have a busy week, and the last one of the third nine weeks! Make it count. This week only, I am giving out spirals tomorrow, Monday, and they will be due FRIDAY MARCH 5th. I must turn in grades by Monday of next week, so I will not be able to give the usual 7 days to work on them. I debated giving you one this week, but feel that many people could use the grade boost, so again, they are due Friday. You are welcome to turn them in early. If you are absent on Friday, I will not accept them late (you will just not receive a grade for the spiral).
6th grade--- we are continuing to work on integers this week, test Wednesday, March 3rd. You MUST memorize and apply the integer rules!!!
7th grade---we will work on a few more sections in Ch. 8 (Geometry) this week. No class Thursday because of our Avery Island field trip. Your spirals are due the next day however.
Have a wonderful week!

Week of February 22nd
Hello all,
I hope you enjoyed the weekend. This is our first full school-week in three weeks, so let's make it a great one!
6th grade- Spiral due on Tuesday. No tests this week. Your "Mapping our Way through Geometry" poster is due at the beginning of class tomorrow. We will be working on integers this week, going back to Chapter 6. No quizzes or test this week. Quiz next week (hopefully on Wednesday 3/3) on first three sections of Chapter 6 (comparing, ordering, adding and subtracting integers). This will be the last major grade of the nine weeks, make it count!
7th grade- Spiral due on Tuesday. Test Friday on Chapter 8 Sections 1 -4. Review sheets will go home by Tuesday. Lots of figure names and vocabulary on this test (polygons and angles) so you might want to make notecards for these! This will most likely be the last major grade of the nine weeks, make it count!
Wednesday is Science Night, and a no homework night. I hope that you will all attend.
Have a great week!

6th grade tests went home today. All tests, regardless of grade, must be signed and brought to school by this Friday. Test corrections are also due Friday. Remember to receive credit for test corrections, you must re-work all missed problems. For this test only, I will allow you to earn up to 3 bonus points for working test corrections (you must follow the layout below). Remember you may not have higher than a 100 on a test (after test corrections are added in).
Remember, I do not give bonus assignments throughout the year as you have the opporunity to work test corrections for bonus points. I encourage each and every one of you to work test corrections.
Test Correction Format:
#1- 6, draw or list angles and answer question
#7-10 must draw the three lines and angle, fill in all missing angles in the diagram
#11 - 16, write any missed words and the correct definition
#17-18, copy diagram, write missed question and answer
#19-24 copy triangles, write name and definition
#25-26 rework
#27-30 draw figure, write answer
#31 -33 write defintion with correct word AND draw a picture
$35-35 write description or copy drawing, write answer

Ash Wednesday
Hello all,
I hope you had a safe and fun Mardi Gras holiday!
I passed out spirals to both sections last week; they are due Tuesday, February 23rd (next week). As always spirals may be turned in early. No tests this week.
6th grade will be working on an in-class Geometry project that will be finished up Friday. Next week we will return to Chapter 6 to cover integers. It is CRUCIAL that students memorize and apply the integer rules.
7th grade we will begin Chapter 8 this week-angles and polygons. Test next week date TBA.
Have a great week!
