Week of October 14-17, 2008
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!
Mrs. Buescher
P.S. Have a great 4 day weekend (October 10-13)!

7th grade assignments:
Mon.: no homework
Tues.: no homework
Wed.: L. 16
Thurs.: L. 17
Fri.: L. 18
8th grade assignments:
Mon.: L. 20
Tues.: L. 21 evens
Wed.: L. 22
Thurs.: L. 23
Fri.: TEST, so no homework
Just a note on my thoughts on homework... I had someone look at my lesson plans and comment that I did not assign homework every night. This is intentional. If we fill our class time with instruction, games, practice work, & cooperative learning (which we do!), homework is not always necessary. Furthermore, when I do assign homework, I give my students class time to work on it. Because I do not feel that I overload my students, then when they do have work to be completed outside of the classroom, I expect it to be completed! Just thought I'd take a minute to explain my homework philosophy!!
Have a great week!
