Conferences are coming again soon!

I recently read an article about conferences that I thought I would share with parents. As I was reading, I found myself thinking, "I wish a parent would ask me that about their child." http://www.childrenshealthmag.com/big-kids/9_Questions_to_ask_a_teacher.php

Parent request conferences will be held on Thursday, December 3rd. I know that many of you met with teacher in October, but this is your chance to meet with teachers that you did not meet with then, or to follow up with someone. You can contact the office to schedule a time.

Remember, you may email or call a teacher at anytime if you have an urgent matter.

Class Update

This week math students will complete a mini-unit on exponents and Scientific Notation. There will be a test over this information on Monday, November 23rd.

Algebra classes will finish Chapter 6 with a test on Friday this week.

These tests will be the final grade for Trimester 1, which means this is the last chance to raise (or lower) your grade.

Trimester 1 is almost over!

I can't believe how quickly this trimester has gone! Soon we will be crunching through the snow and beginning the second trimester. But, before that happens I know that many students in my 2nd through 8th periods would appreciate one last opportunity to raise their grade. So here it is!

Mathland Extra Credit
Due Friday, November 13th

You have an opportunity for extra credit! You need to write a story about your friend the fraction, his friend the improper fraction, and his arch enemy the decimal. Your story may include any other people from the country of Mathland. The more creative you are, the more points you will

receive.
