Monday, November 28th

It was great to see everyone today after a full week away for Thanksgiving! I hope all had a wonderful holiday. Just a reminder to all students and parents: Since today is the 4th Monday of the month, I will be posting grades to Edline. It is up to you (the student) to check your grades and missing assignments. Let me know if you need copies of anything. I will not be coming to you about your missing work. That is your responsibility!

Sixth Grade

Many students struggled with the fractions test before the break so today we went through all of the questions. There will be a makeup test tomorrow. I will average the two grades together. The students who did not need to retake the test worked on decimal place value. The worksheet is due Wednesday, but many finished today. We will continue working with decimals until Christmas break! (and probably after as well)

Seventh Grade

Math - Many students struggled with the discount, markup, sales tax test so we spent today going over the test and I was very happy with the attention that most of the class had during the review. The makeup test will be tomorrow so be sure you are going over your mistakes tonight and that you are ready tomorrow.

Geography - We read Chapter 8, Section 3. Do the identify and define words. Also, do the Atlas Activity - Canada 3. This is due tomorrow!

Eighth Grade

Pre-Algebra: Students continued working on the their shape posters. You must finish the poster tonight. Be sure you've included the perimeter and area of your shape. You must turn in your work! Also, color your poster using colored pencils or crayons. I need to be able to see the dimensions you used.

Algebra I: Many students struggled with the test, so we spent today going over the test. There is a makeup test tomorrow, so be sure you go over everything tonight!

See you tomorrow,

Mrs. Swickey
