Midterm

I wanted to add something!! Great Job to 7A on their Math midterm! After the corrections were made, everyone did a GREAT job!!! I know you can do it, you just have to believe in yourself!

Also important dates coming up:

February 27 Progress Reports are sent home
March 11 (Tuesday) is an Open House from 5-7
March 15 (Saturday) is an Open House from 10-2
April 4 is the last day of the 3rd marking period

Progress Reports go home tomorrow!

Progress Reports are scheduled to go home tomorrow! That means you only have about 4 weeks until the 3rd marking period ends. Make sure all of your make up work is turned in! YOU need to ask your teachers if you are missing work. Those who asked today in Math received a list of their missing work.

Next week, DSTP begins. The days are as follows..
March 5- Mathematics
March 6- Mathematics
March 10- Reading
March 11- Reading
March 13- Text-based Writing
March 14- Writing

It is very important to make sure you have a good breakfast and plenty of rest on those days. DO NOT rush through the test.. take your time! Remember all of the tips that you have been given to help you be successful!

We had a Code Yellow drill today. I want to thank everyone for a great job. For the most part, you all remained silent and calm. It is very important to remain silent. In any situation where there may actually be an intruder, you want to make sure that they do not know anyone is in the room.

We have also started a new cycle for the next gathering. To attend the gathering, you must be demerit-free.. I know you ALL can do it! I would like to see EVERYONE at the next gathering!

Be sure to keep working on your G.R.E.A.T. projects.. this is a requirement due in May. You must have completed your project to participate in graduation!

I think that is all I have right now! Please feel free to email me with any questions or concerns! Well I hope you all have a great week!!

February

Hello!! We are half way through February. This school year is flying by!

In Reading and Writing, your Doublet Poem is due on Wednesday, Feb. 13, 2008. The first 5 chapters in your Reading Log is also due this week (Thursday). Be sure to keep up on your reading log. I will be randomly checking them and initaling the ones that I have checked.

In Math, we have just taken the mid-term. We will be starting a new unit. Although we are moving on, please do not throw your old work and notes away. Place them in a folder and put it in the bottom of your cubby... you will always have access to it should we need it again in the future.

In Social Studies, we are beginning Chapter 4. Please read the sections and pay attention during class. Anyone who pays attention during the reviews will do very well on the quizzes!

In Science, we are still working on "Our Body, Our Genes". We will be taking a test very shortly, so please make sure you are reviewing your journal. You should also make sure your journal is caught up with all of the notes and work that has been completed during class.

Parents:
DSTP begins on March 5, 2008. Please begin to prepare your child for the DSTP. Make sure they get plenty of rest and eat breakfast.

Please feel free to contact me if you need anything!
