Today we finished off test 4 in math and Thursday we will wrap up science chapter 3. Therefore, ALL science work is due on Thursday- this includes all the chapter choices, reviews, labs, etc. And don't forget to study for the test either!
Math homework due Thursday is lesson 30 for 6th grade and 31 for 7th grade, all questions. Investigation 3 will be due next Tuesday.
Study those acids & bases hard! Hopefully your test will have a more basic pH than an acidic one!

End of the 6 weeks!
The 6 weeks has come to an end, and report cards are now here. Please sign up for conferences in the downstairs hall starting Friday. Mrs. Blase and I will be available on Friday, Oct 2nd. We would like to meet with all parents and hand out your child's report card. If you are unavailable on this date, please let us know and we will try to schedule another time.
If your child has any missing work, I must have it tomorrow morning! All grades must be turned in, so I will need all missing or late work ASAP!
This Tuesdsay we will have our next round of math tests and on Thursday we will wrap up Chapter 3 in science with a test. All chapter assignments will be due on that date.
Math homework due on Tuesday is Lesson 29, all problems for 7th graders and Lesson 27 for 6th grade.
Good luck and have a great weekend!

Finishing Up!
This is the last week of the 6 week. Wow, how time flies. Therefore, everything is due ASAP! If anyone has any missing work, it must be turned in now to avoid a zero.
As for math, 6th grade should complete lessons 23 (odd) and 24 (even) for Tuesday. 7th graders should complete lessons 25 (odd) and 26 (even) as well as investigation 2.
Science is just about complete for the 6 weeks. Next week we should have chapter 3 test, which means all chapter assignments will also be due.
Thanks for all the hard work this 6 weeks.

2 Tests Down...
We finished up tests in both subjects this week, and are continuing on to the next. We are discussing ratio, rate, fractions, perimeter, and more in math.
In science we began chapter 3 over solutes and solvents in solutions. We will be conducting experiments with acidic and basic solutions, discussing pH, saturation, dilution, and more. The same chapter assignments from chapter 2 will be used for chapter 3. Be sure to keep up with it! Any corrections for Chapter 2 tests are due Tuesday without exception.
Math homework due Tuesday for 7th graders includes lessons 22-24 even numbers. 6th graders are expected to complete investigation 2, all problems.
Have a wonderful weekend!

Mathematics and more...
This Thursday we will have another math test. It will cover lessons 11-20. Be sure to study. Lessons 19 through 21 will be due on Thursday as well. All are even numbers.
For science, we took our Chapter 2 test over atomic bonds. Those will be returned on Thursday. Grades below 70 should be signed, corrected, and returned by next Tuesday. Grades of 70-79 may be corrected for partial credit, but do not require a parents signature. Chapter Choices were due Tuesday and are now late. Please turn those in to avoid a zero.
Have a great week!

Up Next, Chapter 2!
What a busy week we have had! We wrapped up chapter 2 in science, covering covalent bonds and ionic bonds. We tried an experiment comparing the conductivity of an ionic solution (salt water) and that of covalent solutions (baking soda, vinegar, and water). The ionic solution was the only one that would conduct electricity to light the light bulb. We discussed crystalline structures of minerals and molecular compounds and ionic compounds. So up next, Ch 2 test.
Remember, you are required to complete your chapter assignments and return them Tuesday. The list of acceptable assignments was passed out on Tuesday. Based on your previous test grade, you will be required to complete these assignments. If you made an 80 or above on your last test, you are only required to complete 1 chapter assignment and 1 review. If you made between a 70 and 80, you are required to complete 2 chapter assignments and 1 review. If you made less than a 70, you will be required to complete either 3 assignments and 1 review or 2 assignments and 2 reviews. If you have not already completed the salt water crystal experiment on page 68 called Shape Up!, be sure to do so. You are to copy and complete the data chart and answer the analyze and conclude section questions. I know this sounds like a lot, but most of the assignments are short. Hopefully you have kept up with your chapter assignments throughout the chapter, and won't have to cram. Study Study Study!!!

As for math, 6th graders are required to turn in lessons 17-18 even and lesson 19 odd on Tuesday. 7th graders are required to turn in lessons 17-18 even on Tuesday. 7th graders will be given time to complete lesson 19 on Tuesday. We will also be having a math test on Thursday covering lessons 11-20.
Happy Studying!

Math, Science, and more...
This week we are diving further into fractions, reciprocals, measurement, and more. The 7th graders covered lessons 15 and 16 today. Lesson 14 , & Lessons 15 & 16 even numbers are due Thursday. 6th grade covered lessons 15 through 17. Lessons 15 & 16 are due Thursday. You will have time in class on Thursday to complete lesson 17.
In science we have been discussing atomic, ionic, and chemical bonding. We discussed chapter 2, section 2 over covalent, polar, and nonpolar bonds today. Be sure to keep up with your science work. Remember, based on your previous test grade, you will need to choose your assignment from the "Chapter Choice" page. These assignments will be due on the day of your test- DO NOT WAIT UNTIL THE LAST MINUTE!!! Manage your time wisely so you are not swamped with a ton of work! I plan on passing out the chapter review on Thursday, which you will have the choice of completing or choosing the book's chapter review.

Half way there!
Half of the first six weeks is over- wow has it flow by! Therefore, look for progress reports to go out tomorrow. Please sign and return them by Monday. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to e-mail me or call. I am usually quick about returning e-mails, and will try to return calls promptly.
Math homework this weekend includes Lessons 12-14 for 7th grade and Lessons 13-14 for 6th grade. Don't forget to staple them in order and turn them in on Tuesday.
We began discussing chemical bonds in science today, including valence electrons, ions, and more. I passed out the notes but they may also be found here:
Chapter 2-1 Atomic and Ionic Bonds Notes
Have a great labor day weekend!

Math Up Next!
Don't forget!!! Tomorrow is your math test! Study lessons 1 through 10 in your book. Be sure to remember the commutative, associative, identity, and inverse properties. Judging by your math work, study hard!!!
As for your science tests, you will need to correct ALL questions for partial credit if you received a failing grade. You are given the opportunity to correct your test if you received if you received a C, but are REQUIRED to correct it if you failed.
Math homework will also be due tomorrow. 6th grade should turn in lessons 10-12 and 7th grade should turn in lessons 10 & 11. Remember, late work receives a 10 point deduction and is only accepted up to 1 week late.
Parents, look for progress reports to go out Friday.
