September 20, 2010

September 24th is our first mid-term. It doesn’t seem that we have been in school that long. Classes are going well and the students are doing a great job in their studies. Both boys and girls are participating in extra curricular activities. Football, volleyball, cross country, and pep band are a few of the activities that are happening now.

In pre-algebra we are using previous learned concepts in new ways. They are beginning to see the importance in the foundations they have already learned. We are building on previous knowledge to increase our abilities in Math. The students are working hard and learning. We will have a test on September 23rd over lessons 1 – 16.

We will continue the study of matter in physical science. This week we will look at the structure of the states of matter. Shortly we will be able to explain the atom structure of the states as well as characterizes of each. Vocabulary is a major part of our learning. We need to understand terminology for our studies ahead. These basic meanings will be used through out the year.

If you have any questions please feel free to call me, my number is 967-2540 ext. 223. My prep period is 1:02 – 1:51 on M, T, TH, and 12:57 – 1:36 on W, F.

September

Two weeks of school are already gone! I hope everyone enjoyed the long weekend. Classes are beginning to run smoothly as students are becoming familiar with their schedules and classrooms.

7th grade pre-algebra will have a test over lessons 1 – 12 on Tuesday September, 14th. It will consist of computations, word problems, and vocabulary that we have been studying. Students should concentrate on their vocabulary words.

8th grade physical science will be having a test over chapter 1 on Thursday September, 16th. They will need to study their vocabulary words as well as the major concepts that we have been learning about. The test will be true or false, matching, and fill in the blank. Students should review their study guides and note sheets.

Please feel free to contact me with any questions you may have 967- 2540 ext 223.

Enjoy the beginning of fall.
