7th MATH So many students in this group are really working hard and their improvement is dramatic. They are always enthusiastic and giving me their best. We have covered more than any other group at this level before and I am proud of their accomplishments. Now we have to keep up the good work to be ready for Terra Nova tests coming up. We are completing Chapter 8 this week and then heading for Chapter 13 for some study of probablity and tree diagrams. This material is traditionally on the Terra Nova test but because it’s at the back of the book we ususally don’t get to it.  So I have incorporated some study now hoping to enlighten the students before the test.  We will be moving around the text as we have to try and complete all the necessary topics for 7th grade common core standards. We are doing a great job to date.  No math help this Thurday (Feb. 2nd) as Ms. Wollensak and I will attend the Naz Scholastic Bowl with 2 teams. If you wish to see me during conferences please send that in with your slip or call the office.

7TH PRE-ALGEBRA We will be completing Chapter 6 on ratio, proportion, and probability  soon with the test being the week of Feb. 9th. Then we will get to some Geometry and Pythagorean Thoerem before the Terra Nova test. I will use the end of February to just touch on anything we have not covered that I think will be on the test. We have done a great job keeping up with all the topics needed in the commom core standards for 7th grade.  The class is dedicated to mastering these topics and all are working hard to stay on top of things. I believe they understand how much time and effort is needed to master an accelerated class so next year will be easier on both of us. I will not be available for math help this Thursday (Feb. 2nd) as Ms. Wollensak and I are attending the Naz Scholastic Bowl with 2 teams. If you want to see me during Parent Conferences please indicate that on your slip or call the office.
