Welcome to the 7th Grade Dolphin Team!


Reading  
We are reading the historical fiction novel, The Cay by Theodore Taylor. The setting is on a Caribbean island during WWII.  It is an heart-warming story of how an 11-year old boy, Phillip, and an elderly West Indian, Timothy, bond after they become stranded on a tiny remote island. The two learn to overcome obstacles, and using survival skills, develop a wonderful friendship.

Gradesheets - Students have a gradesheet which keeps a daily record of each student's math grades.  This gradesheet is to be shared with parents on a regular basis. Parents will be asked to sign gradesheets several times each quarter.

Notebooks - Each student has been provided a notebook in which to copy math notes.  These notes are to be reviewed nightly to prepare for tests.

PODS - Problems of the Day (PODS) are warm-ups to start out each class period.  These PODS give the students a chance to investigate various ways to solve math problems.  PODS are graded - EASY 100's!

Homework Some form of math homework is assigned nightly, Monday-Thursday.  It should take less than 20 minutes but is important review.  Please check the homework hotline for this information if necessary.
