*Tests will be administered after a unit is completed...this will be announced and review will take place.

* Tutoring is set for Tuesdays.  Students may sign up with me, or in some cases, I will assign a student to come in for turoring. I may also tutor on other days if a student is not needed in another class.

* BE POSITIVE! Math is fun!

I am asking that all students purchase a 3-5 subject spiral(this was on the supply list for grade 7)

We will use this everyday for notes, hw, and msa review.

 If your spiral is getting full, you may purchase another 3-5 subject spiral OR a 2 inch binder with dividers for the rest of the year.
