Hello 6th - 8th grade families!
Last full week before Thanksgiving break! At this time of year I am reminded of Psalm 100:1–5, "Enter his gates with thanksgiving, and his courts with praise! Give thanks to him; bless his name! For the Lord is good; his steadfast love endures forever, and his faithfulness to all generations".
Check the class schedules below. 6th is almost finished with their latest test, and 7th and 8th will have their's this week.
The Holiday Bazaar is this Friday. Students will be given the opportunity to shop during their scheduled time.

Me, calling for my lost SmartBoard Pen.
Have a great week! ~ Rich Wuebbels
So, you talked throughout the lesson and now your math doesn't math.
Other Reminders:
Just remember Google Classroom is where everything is at. Your child's passwords are all on the first page of their planner so please feel free to copy those down and peek through their accounts often. Here is a video on how to navigate Google Classroom: https://youtu.be/qoOe3ir5iqQ
IXL grading is a little different from other assignments. A 90% "smart score" in IXL is equivalent to 100% in FastDirect. Anything over a 90% is worth up to one bonus point...they add up so I encourage students to try it (especially on the easier assignments).
