Week of February 11th

You know the schedule for this week already as it is written in your planner. Parents, please ask to see your child's planner, all this should be written down for them to check off when completed. Since we didn't have school on Friday, your Sunshine Math is due on Monday. Test on Chapter 3 on Tuesday. Your POW #9 is due on Wednesday. Thursday is that testing for 100 8th graders, so we will be getting folks caught up that day and maybe do something on the laptops. Friday is Pink Pants Day and time to get ready for vacation. Have a great break.

Week of February 4th

Ten days till vacation and I hope that we are able to avoid any snow days. Monday, we are taking a survey during Homeroom, which will make for shorter classes. New Sunshine Math will be passed out on Monday and due on Friday. POW #9 will be passed out on Wednesday and due next week. We need to spend some more time on Lesson 7 before moving on to Lesson 8, which is the last lesson in Chapter 3. My plan is to take a test on Chapter 3 at the end of this week or early next week. Be expecting a SBR test. If you have any areas of frustration on the SBR tests, please practice completing those problems. Have a good week.
