Math News


We will finish our study of Unit 2 in math this week. Students will have a Unit 2 Test next week! In addition to our normal classroom lessons, we will also spend a portion of our class time reviewing for the math Benchmark which will be administered on Wednesday this week. There will be no quizzes or tests in math this week as I do not want to interfere with Benchmark testing. Homework this week will be Waggle! A lot of students are not taking this weekly homework assignment seriously and not completing the required 2 hours per week. Having said that, a lot of students have grades that are well below their respective potential. Please continue to check Parent Portal to review your student's grade.

**Waggle Update** All students have access to an online resource called Waggle. Students should log-on and complete at least 2 hours of Waggle time each week. I will be monitoring this resource and will assign a homework grade to each student every week based on their Waggle time (2 full hours of Waggle = 100% as a homework grade).

As always, please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.
Go Panthers! 


Social Studies News


This week in social studies we will be starting Unit 3 Middle East History.  This is the first time most students have been exposed to this standards and content so it is very important they are completing all assignment and studying at home.  On Friday students will take their first History vocabulary quiz.  The words are linked below.  Using the Middle East coach book and glossary in the ABOUT section of google classroom can be a helpful study resource.  Thank you for your support!


SS7H2 - The student will analyze continuity and change in Southwest Asia (Middle East) leading to the 21st century.
