Team Kani News: May 2-6, 2016
In Loving Memory
The Team Kani teachers have ordered blue wristbands for every Team Kani student to remember Kentavious. As soon as those arrive, we will give them to the students.
Special Request
Coach Page is leading our team efforts to collect funds for a headstone or burial marker for Kentavious's burial plot. Southview Cemetery can get a basic in-ground grave marker for $500. If we contribute more, they can offer more options at that point. If you'd like to contribute to the grave marker fund, please make your contribution payable to Southview Cemetery and give it to Coach Page.
We currently have $375 collected from teachers at Hilsman. If you would like to contribute, please get your donation to Coach Page by Wednesday of this week. We would like to place the order for the burial marker before Mother's Day.
Field Day 2016
7th Grade field day will be held on Thursday, May 12th. Team Kani will use their red team t-shirts for field day. If your child does not have a team t-shirt please fill out an order form and send in $8.00 cash or check. The last day to order a t-shirt is Monday, May 2nd.

Math News for the Week
This week we are continuing to practice 7th grade math skills and review math facts in preparation for the GRASP assessment on Wednesday.
Monday: Fact Fleuncy, Waggle and Corrections
Tuesday: Fact Fluency, Waggle and Corrections
Wednesday: GRASP Assessments
Thursday: Number sense review
Friday: Number sense review
WAGGLE: Due to students having to turn in their devices the WAGGLE homework requirement is waived for the remainder of the marking period. Prior to turning in devices students should have completed 6 hours for this marking period. Students who did not meet this requirement were given a grade of 55. Students can make up that grade by doing additional time at home on their own devices or during school hours on their CCSD device. If your child has access to a device at home please encourage your child to spend at least 30 minutes each night practicing on WAGGLE.
Students who make a grade below 100% are expected to correct their wrong answers and re-submit for partial credit for all assignments except vocabulary tests and some on-line assessments. Vocabulary tests can be re-taken during ELT. Corrections can be done during homeroom, ELT, lunch or after-school. Students must have their homeroom, ELT or lunch teacher's permission. Arrangements for after school must be made in advance. Students are to be picked up by 5pm.
Parents please check Campus regularly and monitor your child's grades and assignment completion. Assignments with a grade 55 and NHI in the comment box means that assignment was Not Handed In. Email me at baldwink@clarke. k12.ga.us for questions, comments and concerns.
Extra Credit
Students who reach 100% completion with a grade 70 or higher on MobyMax State Test Prep by 4 p.m. on Friday, May 20th will receive extra credit for the 4th marking period.
Social Studies News for the Week
We will be watching the movie "Gandhi" this week and students have a question and answer packet that goes along with the movie that I will take at the end of the week for a test grade. Thank you for your support!
English/Language Arts News for the Week
IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT!
Students will receive a homework grade worth 10% of their final average for having their progress report signed. Please make sure your child gives you the progress report for signature. Students also received a list of missing assignments and their current average on Friday, April 29. If you no longer have your child's progress report, signing the missing work document also can count towards that homework grade. An "X" means an assignment either was not done or recceived a failing grade. All work is accessible in your student's Google Classroom account.
Especially during the final nine weeks, it is essential that your student stay caught up on assignments. There simply are fewer opportunities to complete makeup work. Please take advantage of Parent Portal to monitor grades.
Your child will have a weekly quiz every Friday on the material covered in the starters we do each day. Please encourage him or her to listen carefully to instruction during that time and complete daily assignments in order to be successful on the quiz and improve his/her final average.
We took a very long break from The Outsiders to review for the Milestones test. Since LAPTOPS WILL BE TAKEN UP MAY 11, our classes will complete a unit on Mythology (which requires internet access) before continuing our reading of The Outsiders. Check your child's Google Classroom file for mythology assignments
