Here is the homework for a Tuesday night:

1. Math: a supplemental white sheet working on Mean, Median, Mode, Minimum, Maximum, and Range.
*Mini quiz over these concepts tomorrow.
*Unit 7 Tests should be going home Thursday

2. Writing: the kids are working hard through the fiction unit.
*We're hitting the concept of revision right now. We're looking a lot at setting.
*2nd TYPED Drafts must be completed by Friday, April 15

Greetings one and all,

Here is the homework for a Tuesday night:

1. Math: Unit 7 Test tomorrow
*Students should bring home their hard cover math books, we did a practice test on 343 and 344, they should have all the answers copied down from class, they may not have finished the test, but I gave all the answers. It's a great practice since it looks exactly (except for the rounding problems) like tomorrow's test.

2. Reading: Work on the inference of the news reporter
*Text/background knowledge/inference (2 of them)

3. Science quiz coming up soon (ask about dates)

That's all for today folks.
