Hello Middle School Families,
Thank you for your support of the Student Council Candy-gram fundraiser. Those kids worked so hard! We sold 2,519 of them so we will be packing those up this week, for next week's delivery.
The class average on the 7th grade test was 86.5%. Way to go 7th grade!!!
There is only 9.5 days left and those days are packed as we wind down the 2nd quarter. 8th grade has 1st Semester final exams next week. I have created a separate newsletter page with the schedule and details for all of the review assignments. You can find that right here.
Class notes
This Week in 7th Grade
We began chapter 6 on finance and percents. In this chapter students will study sales tax, gratuity, discount and markup, simple and compound interest, and how to build a spreadsheet. This chapter will finish up this Friday and we will not have a chapter test. Instead we will be watching a movie that demonstrates much of what we are learning..."It's a Wonderful Life".
What are we learning?: How do percents relate to the business world?
-
Monday: 6-2 Find Percent of a Number Mentally
-
Tuesday: 6-4 Percent of Change
-
Wednesday: 6-5 Discount and Markup
-
Thursday: 6-6 Simple Interest
-
Friday: 6-6 Compound Interest using Google Sheets
This Week in 8th Grade

8th graders trying to use a jedi mind trick to steal the answers ot the final from my head. Wait...it's working...the answer to number 1 is 67.

Have a great week! ~ Rich Wuebbels
So, you talked during the whole lesson and now your math doesn't math.
Other Reminders:
Students must show all work in their homework journal to earn any credit.
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).
Regular chapel can be viewed live on our Youtube channel at https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC3-agaQWl4BGu9bEAh1TbgQ, or on our Facebook page.
Each student's passwords are found in the student planner. Here you can find IXL, email, and DeltaMath
