There is a VERY short 10 question science quiz tomorrow on the vocabulary in the interactive notebook and on the word wall in the back of room. Also, the Kahoot! link from the previous post will prove to be helpful.
We are doing NWEA testing tomorrow and Wednesday (Thursday if necessary) in social studies. This is the Language portion to help those teachers out. We also will have a short quiz either Thursday or Friday on Chapter 1. The Study Guide was posted last week along with the Kahoot! That too will be helpful.

I hope everyone had a fantastic and enjoyable Labor Day weekend. It is our second week of school and many teachers have gone over rules, polices, procedures and expectations. I know I have, most of last week was concentrated on this. We even had 7th grade assembly on Friday with Mr. Denison about what the standard is for Bryant Middle school. It is the start of the school year so not only lets put our best foot forward academically, but behaviorally as well and be the best you that you can be. Thank you and see you next week on September 11th for the Parent Orientation/Open House.
Welcome back and I hope everyone had themselves a wonderful and safe summer break. It’s going to an exciting new school year for sure. If you have not heard I have moved up to 7th grade this year. So for some students you will be having me again. I will be teaching science and social studies again and am in room #46 (Mr. Blake’s old room).
The First Day of School is Monday August 26th it is a 12:00 Dismissal (half-day).
I have attached my Syllabus for the 2019-2020 school year It is in the Class Info Portion of My Blog (Above Tab). Please read and impress me by signing up for my Remind App before Open House. I will have copies available then as well.
I hope everyone has a nice five day weekend and enjoyed their time off.
