Good Tuesday Morning,
I hope all of you had the best long weekend ever and you return rested and ready to start this week.
Congratulations to all of you who retook the last test on fractions. On the whole(hee hee), everyone did a splendid job with the concept. This new grade is the grade that will be recorded in the grade book. SO, keep up this good work. For those of you who did not take the test, I am raising the grade by 5 points!!
In math class we will review adding and subtracting decimals. After a quick review, we will move onward to multiplying and dividing decimals. What are the tricks for mastering this???
Today is White Board Tuesday. Everyone is welcome to join for a recap on Negative integers, fractions and decimals, and a REVIEW FOR THE UPCOMING TEST ON WEDNESDAY!!!!
Homework:Retests on Chapter 5 need to be signed by parents.
Practice for the test on + - x / decimals on Wednesday.
Have the best day ever.

Good Wednesday Morning,
Today in math class we are going to take the retest for all who came in yesterday for the tutorial help. There were so many students who came in, that I would have no room in tutorial for the retest. Make sure to bring in all your flip books as this is open notes. If you are not taking the retest, you will be playing the Game 24.
Homework: review the chapter 5 on classzone.com
FYI:
* Conferences this week
* Half school day for students on Thursday
* No school on Friday or Monday!!

Good Tuesday Morning,
In math class we will be looking over converting fractions to decimals and back. Hope this was more of a review than a new concept for most of you. make sure you bring in any questions you have to class so we can clear up the fog. After correcting the homework(pages 244-245 even #), we will move onward to adding and subtracting decimals. The trick to this is that you are lining up the decimal points using negative and positive integers!! So revert to using the flip book if necessary. Negatives are NOT going away from now on, go get used to them now!!!!
I will be collecting the test signatures on Chapter 5 test.
WHITE BOARD TUESDAY is today. Come in for help on fractions, negative integers and review for the retake test on Wednesday.
Homework: pages 249-250 #12-54 Even
FYI:
* Conferences are this week
*Progress Reports are due back with parent signatures(give to homeroom teacher)
*Half day on Thursday
*No school on Friday
*No school on Monday
Yippee!!
Have a great Tuesday,
Mrs. Charle McAtee

Good Monday Morning,
I hope your weekend was totally enjoyable and you are rested and ready to start the week.
In math class, we will be going over the continued work with fractions and how they are connected to decimals. How do you turn one into the other, what is a rational number, what is a terminating decimal, and repeating decimal? As you can see, there is a fair amount of vocabulary attached to this concept.
Homework: pages 244-245 # 2-48 even #
You will also get your test back on = - x / fractions today. We will go over the work, and then you need to have your parents sign the test.
***** If you need to retake this test, you must come in during tutorial tomorrow,10-7-08, and review with me. Then you may take the retest on Wednesday during tutorial. Check with me today if this does not work for you.
FYI:
*Progress Reports go home today. Get these signed and returned by Tuesday.
*Conferences are this week. Get your assigned time in asap.
*Half student day on Thursday-Conferences!
*No student day on Friday-Conferences!
*10-13-08 is Columbus Day - Day off from school!
Have the best Monday ever,

Good Thursday Morning to all from my home,
As you have figured out, I am not there today, but things are to go on with the test anyways. I will be back tomorrow and find out that ALL of you were doing what is expected of you.
In math class, you are to take the test on + - x / fractions with negative integers. This is open notes, so feel free to use them and do your very best. Do all your work on another paper, put the answers on the test, make a comment about the test, and pass in the test to the sub.
NO HOMEWORK!!!! Yippee!!
Pass in the conference time sheets to your homeroom teacher asap.
PROGRESS REPORTS come out this Friday.
Have a great day and stay dry,
Mrs. Charle McAtee
PS Thank you for the comments on how you are doing in class. I need to hear when you are struggling on concepts, but also that a certain thing helped, as in WHITE BOARD TUESDAY. And no, I did not forget to write a blog on Wednesday. The internet was down all day and I could not get to it. Sorry.
