Homework Expectations

The primary purpose of homework is practice, an extension of the day’s work, time to work on long-term projects or an investigation of something for class discussion, not introduction of a new skill. Students should be able to complete it independently. If unable to complete an assignment independently, please notify your teacher. 7th—8th grade teachers work together as a team to plan for approximately one hour nightly, unless a student opts to take on extra courses or enrichment, such as language, algebra, music, band, etc.

Math & Science 10/2/14

Math:  Students need to complete the 3 "Manga High" (technology based review and practice) challenges by October 9, 2014.  Students were given login information and an opportunity to start the challenges today in class.  For those who have finished already, I recommend that they "Go for gold!", rather than just the minimal expectation of a bronze medal for each challenge.
Science:  While most of you have finished, for those of you who haven't, make sure that your "Mystery Powders" lab write-up is in the 'In Box' by the end of the day tomorrow, October 3.
