Week of November 4-6, 2008

Parent/teacher conferences are scheduled for Mon., 11/3 and Fr., 11/7, so there is no student attendance on those days. We have IOWA testing on Tues., Wed., and Thurs. There will be no math homework assigned on those days. Students: please be sure you have multiple No. 2 lead pencils and extra reading material for testing days.

October is quickly wrapping up! The 1st quarter ends on Tuesday, October 28. Parent/teacher conferences will be held on Mon., 11/3 (from 8 a.m. - 7 p.m.) and Fri., 11/7 (8 a.m. - noon). Letters have been mailed out to parents that the Jr. High Staff feels like they need to see. If you did not receive a letter and yet would still like to set up a conference, please e-mail me. I am scheduling them for the entire Jr. High. We will obviously not have school on these 2 days.

The plan for October 27 - 31 in math is as follows:
7th grade:
Mon.: L. 28
Tues.: L. 29
Wed.: no homework
Thurs.: L. 31
Fri.: Test (no homework)

8th grade:
Mon.: L. 33
Tues.: L. 36
Wed.: no homework
Thurs.: L. 38
Fri.: Test (no homework)

I will host a study session on Thursday at 7:45 a.m.

Hello! I am entering this early for those of you who like to plan WAAAYYY out!!

7th grade assignments:

Tues., October 14: L. 21 - We will start with #1 in class and work in rotating groups. Even if you begin ahead of time, you will be expected to work with your group. (If you want to work ahead, a better use of your time would be to start with #15 on your own since we will probably get several of these completed in class.)
Wed., October 15: L. 22
Thurs., October 16: L. 23
Fri., October 17: L. 24

8th grade assignments:

Tues.: L. 27 - due Thursday
Wed.: no homework
Thurs.: no homework
Fri.: L. 28
*8th grade gets to work in the computer lab on Tuesday & Thursday of this week!

The study session will be Wednesday, October 15 at 7:45 a.m. The 7th graders who attended this week earned scores of 84%, 98%, and 99%!! Sometimes just having a few things clarified makes a BIG difference!

P.S. Have a great 4 day weekend (October 10-13)!
