First of all I want to say that we are close to the mid-way point of our school year and the students are doing a great job. For the most part, they are well-behaved and they are completing their school work! Good job & keep up the good work! :-)
7th grade assignments:
Mon.: L. 43
Tues.: L. 48 supplemental practice
Wed.: L. 44
Thurs.: L. 45
Fri.: quiz; no homework
We are doing a mini-unit on fractions, decimals and percents. That is why we are going out of order this week. Lessons 43 & 48 pertain to this topic so we are going to cover them at the same time. We will also be playing games and using the Versa Tiles in class to help us learn our fraction-decimal-percent equivalencies. Do you know what 3/8 is as a decimal? Do you have it memorized? You will by next Friday!
8th grade assignments:
Mon.: worksheet
Tues.: pretest in class; no homework
Wed.: test; no homework
Thurs.: L. 60
Fri.: no homework
Parents: When you see "no homework," that is when we are working the hardest in class! When we fill the entire period with activities, notes, and practice problems, and there's no time left to begin their homework, those are the nights I do not assign any work to be done outside of the classroom!
I hope you are all having a wonderful holiday season. Remember we attend school through the 23rd (early dismissal at 2:20 p.m.). The students return on January 5, 2009!!
Have a great week!
Mrs. Buescher
