Students will need several sharp pencils available for daily use in math classes.  All math class work and homework is to be completed in pencil. Students who are absent are expected to check in with their teachers to complete missing assignments.   If a student is absent, they should call a friend to find out what happened in school that day and what homework was assigned.  Work will not be sent home via the office.

Our physical education classes are on ____________ and ______.  Students will need their gym clothes on these days. Band classes are on Tuesday and Friday.  Instruments should be in school on those days and at home for practicing the rest of the week!  Seventh graders are not allowed to call home for forgotten items.  Please plan ahead.

We will start the year with a study of Spatial Visualization.:  This is an important aspect of geometry and geometric reasoning.  This unit develops students' spatial visualization skills through rich, hands-on problem solving situations.  A variety of tools - including cubes, building plans, isometric dot paper, and two dimensional cube models - are used in the activities.

There is  homework in math  every day except Fridays. Daily review is the key to success.   We have a skills review for homework nightly, with a test on those skills on Friday.
