Week 31 - CST Preparations


Countdown to the CST: 15 days
In the next two weeks, we will be preparing for the CST.  On Saturday, April 23 from 9:30am - 11:30am, I will hold an extra Saturday study session for the CST.  I have a sample CST available for 6th grade and Pre-Algebra and will administer the exam at 9:30am in my classroom.  The test will be graded immediately and students will receive instant feedback on areas of improvement.


Unit 7 Test Results
Last week, all 6th grade students took the Unit 7 Test on Probability and Statistics.  Our Big Goal was for each student to demonstrate at least 80% mastery of the objectives.

The following students also achieved the Big Goal of 80% mastery: Daisy Adin, Ivon Aguilera, Matthew Canepa, Rafael Diaz, Emerald Doan, Brendan Flores, Mako Goldston, Angela Kurysh, Daniel Martinez, Nate McCauley, Nubia Mendoza, Adin Sabanovic, Catherine Salazar, Roman Sanchez, Adrianne Taylor and Anny Tran.

Congratulations to all of our hard-working students!
