Mrs. Sheats' Classroom Update
It is not how you start, but how you finish...FINISH STRONG!
Important Reminders
Google Classroom
2nd Semester of 7th grade Math will continue to stretch and challenge the students. It is imperative that students daily check Google Classroom/Remind(see below for more info) for updates concerning assignments and makeup work in the case of absences. Math is a foundational subject area. Please encourage your child to come see me in homeroom on the day of their return to ensure understanding of lessons missed.Calculators
Also, at the start of the year, we had asked that students bring a scientific calculator(as part of their school supplies) to class each day. I've have allowed the few classroom calculators that I have to be available for those that were unable to get one, forgot theirs, lost theirs, etc.
If everyone can double check with your child and make sure they have a calculator. If not, please see that they have access to one. There is a link below to see the calculator model needed.
Homework
This time of year it seems as if homework is not on the radar of most students. Please encourage your to continue to finish strong in regards to completing outside assignments. Although we do not have homework EVERY evening, I try my best to assign a small amount of applicable practice at least 3 nights a week. It is crucial that students have meaningful practice. I have offered my time to students during homeroom, break, and at lunch to help with homework. I also have encouraged students to email me any questions that they may have through Google Classroom or Remind. Lastly, many of our math standards can be viewed through Khan Academy for free(online tutorials, examples, etc.). If we can hold the students accountable in this area, I believe students are more apt to master the standards come time for assessments.
