STUDY, STUDY, STUDY!!!

In 7A math we are reviewing multiplying and dividing fractions. There will be a quiz early next week on this so make sure you know it. For multiplying fractions, you multiply straight across and then simplify the answer. For dividing fractions, you flip the second fraction and then multiply straight across. Dont forge to simplify all of your answers!

So here is what you are studying: Reading- "The Day the Sun Came Out"
Social Studies- Chapter 1 Section 2
Writing-Verb Phrases
Science-vocabulary
Math- multiplying and dividing fractions

School Store is every Wednesday (lower school) and Friday (upper school). Be sure to bring your money (we take it all even pennies)!

Book donations are still going on. For every 10 books, you get an item for free from the school store. The books are available for purchase for $1.00.

Lost and Found: Anything left in the lost and found past Friday, October 3, 2008 at 3:20pm will be donated or thrown away. The Lost and Found has become a VERY LARGE eye sore in the middle school. Please be respectful to our school, our teachers, and our peers by cleaning up after yourself.

The gathering was great fun yesterday. There will be one every month for students who do not have any referrals (even level one) for that month. I hope to see everyone there this month!

LEAP programs are starting next week!

OM tryouts will be on October 7, 2008 in Mrs. Smith's room at 3:45pm. Please have your ride here by 5:00pm.
