Week of 11/30/09

I hope that everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving break and is ready to finish the semester strong!

I have a special offer for the 8th graders.  I will use the last two quizzes of this semester (both are review material) to replace your two lowest quiz scores of your entire semester.  So, work hard on sharpening your skills for solving systems of equations and you can really bring up your grades!

For the 6th graders, I have a different offer.  Instead of a big Friday quiz in the next two weeks, we will be having mini quizzes every day.  At the end of the two weeks, your mini quiz grades added together can replace your lowest quiz grade of the semester.  These mini quizzes are also semester review material.

Homework for the next two weeks will mostly be worksheets.  Make sure you hang on to these worksheets because they will help you study for our final Unit Test.  Mark your calendar for these important dates.
