I apologize for missing a bit of time in December! Welcome to break! Everyone has been working really hard the past few weeks and I am pleased to say that all of my grades are currently up to date! If you see that your child has completed an online assignment and you do not see a grade for it (IXL), please email me and I can get it corrected as soon as possible.

7th Grade Mathematics

Since my last post we have been really busy navigating our way through unit rates. Lessons 9 and 10 were both about this topic. We completed Lesson 10 with a quiz today. I wanted to let you know that students are allowed to bring and use calculators during class now. They do not need anything fancy, just ones that perform the basic operations will be fine. (They sell them at the Dollar Tree).

When we come back from break, we will be focusing on Lesson 11 which is based on equations for proportional relationships.

I had a few parents ask me about IXL. Your child can go and work on IXL anytime! I have a bunch of basic skills from the first lesson highlighted/starred if you want to give them extra practice over break. Also Khan Academy summer learning minutes will be going in this quarter! I suggest you have your student login to Khan (with Clever and make sure they have accumulated enough to get a grade that suits them. (480 minutes and above counts as an A.)

Computer Applications

Students have been working hard this week to do an animated story in PowerPoint. This is the last major assignment for the class.

When we come back we will be watching the presentations and then we will have a quiz on PowerPoint operations. This workload should take us to the end of the quarter.

QUESTIONS?

As always if you have any questions please feel free to e-mail me and I will get back to you as soon as I am able.

Thank you for your continued support in your child’s education,

Mrs. Osak
