I really missed my freshman last week----I am glad they are all back safely and thawed out !!    We only have 3 weeks left in this quarter!  We will be working hard-there is a lot we need to cover but I have every confidence that this class can do it!  I encourage you to check grades regularly on ACHIEVE.

This week we will complete Chapter 7 and have our chapter test.  Please check your student's grades regularly on ACHIEVE and contact me if you have a question.

We will be working toward a test late this week on the first half of chapter 7  Most students are are doing well but we need to continue to encourage them to study and keep up.

January is disappearing quickly!  We are working in chapter 7 and I anticipate a vocab quiz on Friday.   If your student is having  difficulty, please encourage them to study nightly and NOT wait for test night to begin studying.  Also, there are lots of students in this class who could "tutor" those who are having a hard time.  Let's not let this get ahead of us--we want to maintain those good grades!

Well, the end of Christmas break brought us some serious winter temperatures!  I was so glad to see my students and hear their tales of Christmas.  I was also amazed and delighted when their review took little time to do--they remembered so much of what I thought would have been covered with holiday activity!  We are moving on in chapter 6.  I am aware that this is basketball season and, to the best of my ability, will adjust our work accordingly.  However, I rely on parents to keep students aware of the importance of keeping up--this has not been an issue so far and I really do not look for it to be a problem.  Thank you for sharing your wonderful children with me!

This semester is quickly coming to a close!  This week we will review chapter six sections 1 through 4 and test on this.  We will then begin reviewing for the semester exam.  The exam counts 20% of the semester grade and therefore is very important!  Also, exemptions will be determined after the ch 6 test.

This week we will continue to work on Chapter 6 and test next week.  I will be giving the students study materials for the semester exam.  ALSO  don't forget that each grade is filling a basket for the Holiday Market.  Ninth grade has the theme " Christmas".  The items are due TUESDAY!.  They were told about this the week before Fall break but sometimes High School students don't get information home!!!!!!!!!!  We appreciate your help!
