Sixth Grade Semester Exs

I just wanted to let you know that semester exams start next week. Please remind your child to be reviewing each night. The exam will count as 1/7 of the course grade.

Sixth Grade Dance

This Friday is the Sixth Grade Dance. The cost is $6.00 per ticket which includes a t-shirt, admission to the dance, and food. As always, we will have a great DJ and students will be able to make some great memories in their last days as a student at QVE.

Math Test this Monday

This Monday students will be taking their last major math grade besides the final. Students will be tested over multiplying and dividing fractions. Students will have an opportunity to work on a study guide on Friday and the remainder will be sent home in the form of a worksheet. This would be a great opportunity for students to boost their grades before final exams.

Please note: I have put tutorials to help students work out problems for the upcoming test on the Math Tutorials tab of this blog. It would be a great idea for parents and students to check these out to refresh your memory on how to work these problems out before Monday.

Upcoming TAKS Tests

We will be taking the Math TAKS this Tuesday and the Reading TAKS on Wednesday. We want everyone to have a good healthy meal the night before, and a good night's sleep (No Xbox the night before). We've worked really hard for this and we know that everyone will do a good job.

I told the class that I wanted them to work on the Jeopardy game below as a TAKS review over the weekend.

Parents: Because this is intended to be Jeopardy PPT game with hyperlinks, students won't be able to click for the answer. Instead, the answers are on the top of each slide with the question, starting with "What is..."

Thanks for helping your students take time to complete this.

Who's Reading My Blog Survey??

I'm going to start a new feature on my blog.  I will post a short answer survey to help my blog become more interactive.  I would also like to get a feel for who is reading it.  Let's start with something easy... my students should be able to answer this.  Your answers will be anonymous.
