Planners

Planners, Planners, Planners!!!!

Many parents ask "How can I know what my child has for homework?" Because the 7th grade team is concerned with helping your child succeed academically, but want to ensure greater accountability of students, we encourage you to check your child's planner EVERYDAY!!!  Planners were distributed on the first day of school, giving students a place to write all assignments.  Students are supposed to write down EVERY H/W assignment in their planner, and write the words "No Homework" if there is no H/W for a specific class.  Parents, this planner allows you to check to see if your chid is actually keeping up with their H/W and allow you to know what content or skills they are learning. If your child is not using his/her planner, then that is a problem.  But if they know that you will be checking everyday, trust me, they will use the planner as it is intended.  

Good afternoon Parents and Students,

Friday ended both the 2nd Advisory and the 1st Semester of the school year.  Report cards will be issued very soon and students will receive new schedules on Monday, January 25th.  Many students will notice that their Encore classes have changed (Chorus, Health, Computer Application, etc.). Some students will also be removed from an Encore class so that they may receive supplemental help from a seventh grade teacher. Please be on the lookout for new schedule changes or letters informing you that your child will participate in Accelerated Achievement classes.

We are beginning the 2nd Semester, with half the school year already completed.  Let's do what we can to ensure continued success in this second half.

Thanks!

2) Define and find the GCF of the numerator and denominator
3) Use the GCF to simplify the fraction
4) Draw a model or picture of the answer to #3
5) Describe how to turn your fraction into a decimal and do it
