Week of September 7th

This week we are finishing unit 1 and testing.

The unit 1 study guide is due on Thursday, September 10th. The unit 1 test is scheduled for Friday, September 11th. At the end of each unit, I will post the answers to the study guide under the "study guides" tab. It will be the students’ responsibility to check and go over their study guide at home. While at home they should rework any problems missed and try to figure out their mistake. Class time  will then be given to answer any questions that students’ could not figure out on their own. Because I post the answers, no credit will be given for just having answers on the study guide. Work/proof must accompany the answers. At this point, I have covered all sections on the study guide except for the dividing fractions algorithm. I will cover this topic this week before testing. I will post the study guide answers  by Tuesday. 
 

While students are testing on Friday (September 11th), I will conduct a spiral notebook check. This grade will count as a 20 point daily grade. Students will be given a rubric to place inside the front cover of their spiral. The rubric states how the 20 points are awarded. When grading, I will check to see that the spiral is complete, organized, and neat. If your child has been absent or has an incomplete notebook, they can check mine out during free time to help get theirs in order. I will also post a copy of the rubric under the "helpful documents" tab.
