Stay Strong the 2nd Quarter is a step up from the first

7th: The 7th graders have made great strides in the last month. Their Journal work has become much more consistent and well thought out as a whole. The 2nd quarter is when we quicken our pace so students must keep their focus. We are studying prime factorization, area, perimeter, and word problem diagramming.

8th: We are presently studying insufficeint information comparisons, graphing inequalities, and computing complex figure area. The 8th grade is moving strong and progress reports are around the corner so keep up the good work.
