Our Back-to-School Night is this Thursday, 8/27, at 6:00 p.m., in the oak tree area. I'll be putting out signups for the fall conferences. (Sometime next week I will send home an information flyer about my own fall conferences, should parents not be able to come this Thursday evening.) Parents, I'm looking forward to meeting you!
Tonight's homework is in the thin workbook that students have. It is p.7 in that workbook, problems 1-17. Students should be doing their scratch work on notebook paper, not just in the book.
Our second quiz is planned for Tuesday, 9/1, on Lessons 1.1, 1.2, and 1.3. Our first quiz is a memorization one this Friday, 9/28. Students will have to write the first fifteen perfect squares by memory, and the first five perfect cubes by memory. (The eighth grade teachers saw that many students were not internalizing these despite a lot of exposure to them,, and they're important. That's why we're having this first quiz Friday. We practiced today (so students know EXACTLY what I'm looking for) and students should have an A+ on their first quiz. (It's a pass/fail quiz.) So students need to make sure that they come in ready this Friday. Parents, if you are reading this, your son or daughter has a small workbook to accompany the textbook. There are terrific re-teaching worksheets in there. While we don't have class time to assign them, you can definitely have your student work these extra practice pages and see me for the answers. Once again, your student should be looking at Lessons 1.1, 1.2, and 1.3. Thank you!
