Your students have been given a study guide that we will go over and review on Friday. They will get to keep the study guide assignment and use it study!

First Assessment - Friday, September 14th

Parents,
Last week we finished up unit 1 in our Digits book! This means a test is coming up. I plan to use all of classtime this week as a time to review and ask questions as needed. On Wednesday, I will be giving out a study guide for the students to complete in class or at home if it does not get finished. This study guide is a great tool to use!! It will be very similar to the actual assessment which will be given Friday in class. This assessment will go towards the final grade. Please remind your students to study and have a great week!

Weekly Update

Parents,
I am so so sorry that I have gotten so far behind on my blog posts and email updates! It has been a crazy couple of weeks for me so I am going to give you a brief look at last week and this week.
Last week, we worked on timed tests, order of operations and reviewed topics from 7th grade. We also took a Digits pre-assessment in class. This gave me a look at where they are at and what they remember from last year.
This week we started our first Digits lessons! I assigned homework 1-1 in their workbooks. Overall, I was very impressed with how well the students did with their first assignment! They have jumped back into school-mode very well. If they feel like they could use some extra practice, they can always get online and do a similar assignment on Digits. Friday we began lesson 1-2. They should not have any homework over the weekend other than to memorize the first 11 perfect squares.
Have a safe and relaxing Labor Day!
