Planners and Missing Assignments

Students should be writing all assignments in their planners each day. You will receive a grade for this. Also, remember to highlight assignments in your planner as you turn them in. At the end of the day, look at your planner, anything that is not highlighted is homework. This will help prevent missing assignments.

Missing assignments are posted weekly. Check the list on the board and your weekly progress reports for assignments that have not been turned in. When you have 3 or more missing assignments, you will be referred to Mr. Bollinger.

Math

In math we have been working in Chapter 1. We have been reviewing whole numbers and exponents. The first math test will be next Friday. Students will complete a study guide with sample problems to review for the test.

2007 Science Fair Winners

Let's Go!!

Our Science Fair questions have been chosen, our hypotheses and procedures written, and we are ready to get started on our experiments! Students should be bringing home their science fair proposals so the parents know the experiments that have been planned. The students are to complete the experiments themselves. The data from the first trial is due by Monday, September 15. All experiments should be completed by the end of September. We will spend some class time in October analyzing data, making graphs, and drawing conclusions. Then the students will complete their display boards for the Middle School Science Fair which is scheduled for November 3.

I will be available after school several afternoons for students to work on their projects. Next week students may stay on Wednesday until 4:00. One of the computer labs is available after school Monday through Thursday if students need to use a computer to work on their project.
