7th grade math

Hi all.  We took the math test today and one of the students received a 100%.  Two others got B's.  There were also C's and D's and one F.

Tomorrow they will receive a packet for them to do over the Christmas break.  It has twelve pages and contains mostly work on fractions.  This will be due the day we get back.  If they were to do two pages a day, they would be done in short order.

Thanks and a Merry Christmas to everyone.

Is there anyone who has potting soil left that we could have?  Both classes are doing projects involving growing of plants and I don't have enough potting soil.  Thanks.  We will be setting up the project when we come back from Christmas break.

The students are going to see the Narnia movie tomorrow so we won't have science class.  There will be a quiz on Friday and they have been given a word bank to study from.
Thanks,

Hi all.  I hope you received my email to all the parents.  It explains my concerns with the work ethic of these students.

Homework for today is L. 44 - all.  They can also turn in rework on L. 43 tomorrow as well.

Thanks,

Hi Parents. We read two sections in science class today.  The students need to do both comp checks to be able to get to the test by next Friday.  Because of the Christmas program practices, we have lost a few class times lately.  Mrs. Manahan has been gracious enough to give me a few classes during a different period so we don't lose out on too much science.  On Monday we will review for and take a quiz on pages 66 through 70.  There will be no class on Tuesday, then on Wednesday we will grade their chapter check up on page 73.  They have been instructed to start working on it.  On Thursday, we will review for the test on Chapter 3 and on Friday they will take the test and have no homework over Christmas break.

This will be the last entry to my blog for the fourth graders until next year since I have told you everything that will be happening for this and next week.  Please have a Christ-filled Christmas season remembering that the great, almighty God became one of us so we could become one of His.

5th grade science fair

Parents, students volunteered to bring various liquids for our science fair project.  Only three of the liquids have made it to my classroom.  Please check with your student if they were supposed to bring something.  Also we could use an extra bag of potting soil.  If any of you have some, please send it with your student tomorrow. 

thanks,

Hi parents.  There is no new homework for tonight.  I have been appalled by how poorly the students are doing on their assignments.  Not only that, but they are not doing any rework.  The mid-term grades are going to be quite low, especially since I changed the weights for homework and quizzes.  Please do whatever you can to check that your student is checking problems then reworking the ones they miss.

For tonight, I told them they could rework L. 39, 40, and 41.

Thanks,
Mrs. W

Hi to all.
Today the fifth graders took a test.  Hopefully, they will be graded by tomorrow.  We start a new chapter on light this week.  Mrs. Bouvier is coming on Friday to do some demonstrations for the classes.

No homework tonight.

Hi everyone,
I had a great time in FL then came back to snow and cold and a cold!! 

Homework for tonight is L. 41 Practice Problems and Mixed Practice evens.

I am worried that most of the students are not doing rework on the problems.  They don't understand how adversely this is going to affect their grades.  Quizzes and homework are now on the same level, but they can do rework on the homework while they can't correct the quizzes.

Please see that they are correcting homework.

Thanks,
Mrs. W

I am sorry I didn't post yesterday.  I am preparing to be gone for Thursday and Friday so I had a lot to do.  The homework for L. 39 was all the Mixed Practice.  Today's homework is the same but for L. 40.  Tomorrow there will be a test covering all material from L. 1 through L. 35.  Your student should review all the sections and even go back to their homework and redo the problems they didn't get correct.  They will have a take home page for Thursday having to do with circles.  They should use their books.  Friday the substitute will give three speed quizzes and send home another worksheet.  The students will take speed quizzes on these two pages withing the next two weeks.

thanks,
Mrs. W
