All classses- no homework this weekend.

A note about Algebra grades on report cards:

The "participation" grade on report cards is out of 60 points, not 100 so a 60 would be a perfect score. I am not sure why that printed on the report card, but since it did I thought I would let parents/students know. Sorry for the confusion.

We had a selection test today over "The True Story of the Three Little Pigs." 

Reports were sent home today.

GRADE 7 PRE-ALGEBRA

• The topic today was SQUARE ROOTS.  All cadets need a calculator and #2 pencils with erasers for the ISTEP on Monday.
