For Tomorrow...

Tomorrow we will have another math test. Look over all the lessons through 45 for 7th grade and through 40 for 6th grade. Homework this week is lesson 52 for 7th graders and lesson 46 for 6th graders.

We conducted an experiment yesterday about see-saws. We compared the weight of an object and its distance to the pivot point. Most students turned in their analyze and conclude questions that we reviewed in class, but if you have not completed the assignment, please turn it in tomorrow.

It looks like we will have a science test next Thursday, so be preparing by completing your chapter choices assignments. If you have corrections for any tests, please be sure to return them ASAP.

If you have not returned your signed progress report, please do that as well.

Have a great week!

Thursday's Happenings

We have started a new science chapter about simple machines, mechanical advantage, and efficiency. We read chapter 5-1 and 5-2 Thursday. Chapter choice assignments have also gone out. Look carefully, there is a new option listed!

For math, 6th grade covered lessons 43 & 44 while 7th graders covered lessons 47-49. Homework for 6th grade is lesson 44 and 7th grade should complete lesson 49.

Be sure to sign and return progress reports. They should go out tomorrow. Feel free to contact me via e-mail or phone if you have any questions or concerns.

Have a great weekend!

One test down, one to go...

Science test down, now on to math. Another math test will be held on Thursday, it should include through lesson 40 for 7th graders and through lesson 35 for 6th graders. Please let me know if you have any questions!

Math homework for the week will include lesson 46 for 7th grade and lesson 42 for 6th grade.

We will begin discussing chapter 5 in science on Thursday. For those of you who are inspired, you may start your chapter choices early if you wish.

We have already completed 3 weeks of the six weeks, so look for progress reports soon!

Have a good week!

Test tomorrow!

Science test tomorrow! Study the review! Check your answers! Use your book! If you know the review material, you will do great! If you don't study and don't complete your review- pray!

As for math, 7th grade should complete and turn in lesson 44 or Investigation 5, whichever you have not completed. 6th graders should complete lesson 39.

Science homework is all of Chapter 4 assignments. Chapter choices and chapter reviews are due tomorrow. Don't let this one get by you! Please finish your science assignments! They are there to help you learn and study for the test! Those who don't do well on the test almost always don't turn in their science work.

Good luck!

Tomorrow's Assignments

We have continued to dive into Newton's Laws of Motion, covering inertia, conservation of momentum, and the relationship between mass, acceleration, and force. We will finish up the chapter tomorrow with the final section and review. Therefore, our test on will be on Tuesday and all chapter assignments will be due on this date. That includes the chapter review and the chapter choices assignments. Study hard!

As for math, we will have a math test covering up through Lesson 40 for 7th graders and lesson 35 for 6th graders. For homework, 7th graders will need to complete lesson 41 and 6th graders will need to complete Lesson 36. We will be covering lessons 42-44 tomorrow in 7th grade and reviewing through lessons 35 with Miss Mitchell. Be prepared for the exam!

Have a good evening!

Angles, Newton, and more!

This last week we started our science unit over physics. We have discussed the relationships between mass, acceleration, and force, We also discussed Newton's laws of motion. We should finish chapter 4 after this week, so be sure to keep up with your chapter choices assignments.

7th graders- congrats! You did awesome on your benchmark math test! Wow!

As for math, 7th graders will be studying triangles, percents, fractions, and the distributive property. 6th graders will tackle squares & square roots, decimals, circle graphs, and more! We will have another math test on Thursday.

Homework for the weekend, and due Tuesday, is lesson 39 for 7th grade and lesson 37 for 6th grade.

Have a great weekend!

Tuesday's Tasks

This Tuesday we will have another math test covering lessons 1-30. Lesson 34 for 7th grade is also due, and lesson 32 for 6th grade.

Science tests have been graded, and look great overall! Congratulations! We will begin chapter 4 in the science text this Tuesdays. We are leaving chemistry behind and pursuing a chapter about forces and motion (physics). We will again be completing the chapter choices for this chapter.

Have a good evening!
