Good Evening Parents,
I'm currently in the process of entering grades ALL weekend. So please do not rely on the current grades you may see during the weekend. Please check back on Monday evening. I do apologize for any misunderstandings or confusion that this may cause you or your students.
Have a great weekend,
Mrs. Duncan
Good Evening,
YES! I'm still checking in on you ALL the way from NEW YORK!!!!! I have attached a Distributive Property PowerPoint to help you understand the concepts better. I know Mr. Roberts is doing a super job, but I wanted to make sure that you had one more resource of instruction.
MAJOR ANNOUNCEMENT:
TEST ON FRIDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Parents, all students are welcome to see Ms. Sinclair or Ms. Heil in the morning for extra help!
P.S. I really feel good about your TEST this FRIDAY. Do your best!!!!!!!!!!!!
Parents & Students:
I will be out for a week, due to my son's surgery. In my absence, Mr. Roberts (another great Math teacher) will be checking in & teaching my classes from time to time during my absence. So your child will not be behind any other 7th grade math classes.
I would also like to encourage ALL of my students to stop by any morning 8:20ish for help with Ms. Heil (another wonderful 7th grade math teacher). If she is available, the Study Hall teacher (Mr. Roberts) will allow your child back to join a morning help session. For best results, students really need to stop by the previous day and ask her if she's available the next morning. Or email me regarding a specific day and I can check on that request for you.
I will also be updating IParent with grades. I'll see you soon, Ms. Duncan!
I have had the opportunity EVERYDAY this week to sit down with EACH & EVERY student. And so I feel really good about knowing EXACTLY where your child is in regards to RATIONAL NUMBERS. So parents this week, I didn't post a particular homework assignment because each childs assignment may vary...from finishing classwork or a completely new challenging assignment. As well as re-teaching material to ensure that your child knows the standard to the best of their ability.
Tomorrow will be a QUIZ, like every Friday. The QUIZ will be based on Comparing & Ordering Rational numbers and Converting Fractions to Decimals and vice versa. The Quiz will be at the end of the period, so everyone will have the opportunity to ask questions.
Helpful Hints for QUIZ tomorrow:
STUDY your worktext pages that we did today in Class, as well as your packet. Here are the Worktext Pages in case you forgot:
Page 73 (1,4,7)
Page 76 (1,4,7,10)
Page 79 (2,5,8)
Page 87 (1,7,13,19)
Page 90 (4,7,10,17)
Page 93 (1,4,7,10,13)
And some student Page 116 (ONLY a few students made it this FAR)
Good Evening and ENJOY your day off!
I wanted to attached and send you 2 PowerPoint Presentations to ensure that you understand how to do your homework, even if you didn't understand what we did in class today.

Quiz grades will be in IParent by this Friday. My 3rd & 4th & 6th Period actually took the Quiz on last Friday. And my 5th Period took the quiz TODAY.
PARENTS AND STUDENTS, I WAS OUT PART OF THE DAY ON FRIDAY DUE TO AN ILLNESS. I WILL RETURN ON MONDAY 11/3/2008 AND STUDENTS WILL PROBABLY NOT HAVE A QUIZ. I WOULD EXPECT THE NEXT QUIZ TO BE ON FRIDAY OVER 2-STEP EQUATIONS AND RATIONAL NUMBERS.
HOMEWORK SCHEDULE WILL BE POSTED ON MONDAY AFTERNOON FOR THE WEEK!
The Mid-Unit 3 Test grades are in IParent! And the majority of the students did EXTREMELY well!
There will also be a Quiz on Friday over 1 & 2 Step Equations. The students have been working on this since last week. But I will review the concepts with them on Thursday & Friday. The Quiz will be at the end of the period. The Quiz will consist of 10 questions. I have attached 2 PowerPoints that will help you study at home. I will also send home another study guide on Thursday. Parents please know that I always go over the Study Guide in class to ensure that all students have the correct answers.
