math I am

3rd quarter is history and the last 45 days are upon us.  This is the crazy time of year when attention spans are short and multiple activities take focus away from learning.  Just in time…..homework passes for IXL winners are awarded!  Due to a glitch in the system (a.k.a. too many projects on Mrs. Smith’s plate) two passes per grade level have been given.  Eighth grade now has 387 medals total for the year which is an average of 19.4 medals per student.  7th grade has 437 medals for and average of 16.2 medals/student and 6th grade has 133 total medals for an average of 10.2 medals per student.  Fantastic work all!

Winners for 3rd Quarter:    

• Leta – 8^th, Todd – 8^th (tie), Brook – 8^th (tie)
• Elizabeth – 7^th, Ashley – 7^th
• Tristen – 6^th, Shania – 6th
  

January 27th marks the end of the second quarter and semester one.   Half the year is over already!  Remember that ALL corrections and late work must be in by Wednesday, January 25th in order to be graded and counted for the quarter.  Report cards will once again be mailed home.

• 6th grade test on Fractions – Wednesday, January 25th

One-hundred sixty-one medals were earned in December.  That is 23% of the total for the year.  Great work!  So far 555 hours have been spent practicing IXL in grades 6-8.  There was a three way tie in 7th grade for IXL medal winners for December.  Winners of the homework passes were, Kylee, Dustin, Hadley, Emily, and Sarah.  Congratulations!

The numbers are in!  For the month of November, the students in 6th-8th grade spent 140 hours and 28 minutes practicing math on IXL.   During those hours 119 skills were practiced.  The student who mastered the most  skills for the month in each grade received a lollypop and a homework pass.  Winners for the month of November are Brandon-8th, Christina-7th and Sarah-6th.  Super Job!!!

Both 6th and 7th grades have a math test on Wednesday, October 19th.  Several links to practice for the test are on the respective HW pages for each grade level.  ALL homework, late work and absent work is due at the beginning of the period on Wednesday and will not be accepted after that date.  Please study for your test!!
