This week:
The students completed their first quiz last Friday for the 6 weeks. We have talked to the kids about retest opportunities for this quiz. We have left the videos below for them to watch if they did not quite grasp the content and need to review outside of class. Also, please encourage your kids to attend tutoring if their grade is low...we are also encouraging them! We are here for them!
Very Important Info:
Mrs. Anderson will be out Wednesday and Thursday of this week...so come to tutoring with Ms. Burnett before or after school in 7th grade computer lab or in her room!
Also, if the student wants an extra practice sheet before their retest...see Ms. Burnett!
We will be MAP testing all week except for Friday. Friday will be an activity day focused around re-teach/enrichment activities regarding slope and slope-intercept and y-intercepts and intersection of two lines.
Other important items to discuss:
Students have also been given their NEW 4th 6 Weeks Calendar with upcoming events! Students will be getting their Volume II of their textbook for the semester. Students will need to keep their Volume I (1st semester book) at home for reference.
