2nd Quarter grade

As of 1 pm on 12/17 my grades are completed. I will still go back and insert comments on all grades but the grading of work and entering of grades is complete. I do have two 7th grade assignments without names and one 8th grade assignment without a name and I will be able to add those, if claimed, on Jan. 3 when we return.

I hope you all have a safe, restful and enjoyable Christmas Break and I look forward to seeing all of you when you return.

Be safe and have fun

7th Grade

Today the students got to see their grades for the quarter and I talked with each about how to improve going into the last 5 days of class.

Some students worked on makeup work and other worked on the Africa Map test that is coming up at the end of the Unit next quarter.

All should have finished the 13.1,14.1,14.2 guided notes(study guide) and should be using that to study for the test that will happen on Monday(12-13). All the test questions are focused on the sheet we have been doing in class over the last 4 class periods.

Odds and ends as the quarter comes to a close

Parents and students.....we are winding down on the 2ND quarter. Please be looking for student led conference forms to be coming home this weekend. Sign and return those as quickly as possible. The sooner those get turned in the better chance you have to get the time slot you want.

8Th grade will have 2 tests still this quarter. A chapter 7 test and a Constitution test. both are 50 points along with a 25 point study guide. There is still a chance to have a positive or negative impact on your grade. the Constitution test will be on 12-14. That is the Tuesday before Christmas Break.

7Th grade. We will test on Monday of next week (13Th)over Sections 13.1, 14.1 and 14.2. Please make sure you are studying 10 minutes a night.

Thanks
Mr. C
