ALL CLASSES - I will be starting math help on Monday. It will be every Monday from 3:15-4:00. All students from 6th, 7th, and 8th grade are welcome to come to get extra help on the math lessons. It is time to work on the homework while I am there to answer any questions. Students who attend, need to come ready to work as well as ready to ask questions about things they don't understand. Math help will be held in the 7th grade room.

Sixth Grade

The class spent the day at Mount St. Mary's and didn't return until close to 1:00. We had enough time to go over questions from the lesson and grade it. No homework!

Seventh Grade

Spelling - Unit 10 is due tomorrow! The test will also be tomorrow. Be sure you are studying!

Literature - Read chapter 5 of Treasure Island tonight. Bring a shoebox on Monday! It can be a cardboard shoebox or one of those cheap plastic ones from the dollar store.

Grammar - pp. 315-318, Exercises A & B. WRITE THE SENTENCES!

Math - The class took a test today so there is NO Homework!

Eighth Grade

There will be a test next week over the following:

1. Finding the distance between two points on a coordinate plane, using the Pythagorean Theorem.
2. Simplifying radicals without rounding.
3. Pythagorean Theorem - finding the length of a missing side and determining whether given measurements are the sides of a right triangle.

Today, the homework is a worksheet with practice problems for #2 and #3 from above.

See you tomorrow!
