Last week was a tough week! The material for both 6th and 8th graders is increasing in difficulty. Even though the quiz scores were lower, you can still improve your grade by working out the problems you got wrong and taking the quiz re-take on Friday during class.
Quiz averages:
1st period overall average: 56%
3rd period overall average: 71%
4th period overall average: 60%
5h period overall average: 76%
6th period overall average: 75%
If you need help with the quiz or homework problems, be sure to come to the homework center in the Library. It is open Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays from 2pm - 4pm. There are two teachers working there during those times, one of which is a math teacher. I am there on Wednesdays from 3pm - 4pm. Remember: the homework center is a FREE (gratis) resource staffed by excellent John Muir teachers. You can come for 5 minutes or 2 hours and there is no need to sign up.
Please look at your quizzes and make sure you understand how to do the problems. Our first unit test is one week from Friday. It will be on Friday, September 18. Our Big Goal is for every student to demonstrate at least 80% content mastery on each unit test. Let's study hard and make it happen!
Also, Back to School Night is this Wednesday night. Parents, guardians, students, brothers, sisters, cousins, grandparents, nieces, and all friends and family are welcome. Come by to say hi and see the great student work on display.
Finally, the moment you've all been waiting for: homework for the week.
