Mrs. Hasz has fulfilled her requirements as a study teacher.  She will remain in the school and the classroom as an observer for the next couple weeks.  I have resumed teaching duties and must say, being out of the classroom was much more difficult for me than I expected.  On a positive note, I've learned how much I enjoy teaching and being in the classroom talking and working with the students at KMS.

7th Grade Math - Today was spent organizing the notes section of the student binders.  To help students make better use of their binders and use them as a valuable resource we added a Table of Contents that will enable students to find the contents of their notes much easier.  Students were also informed of a slight change when retaking content quizzes that were failed.  Taking effect Monday December 2nd students will have to complete a Request to Requiz form that will require them to reflect on what led to them failing the quiz and what steps they've taken to learn the material.  No Homework .

Pre-Algebra - A discussion took place on what a negative exponent means.  Several problems were solved together on the Mobi and some students were given the opportunity to use the Mobi.  Sample problems from Pg 94 1-12 were solved and students were asked to write these down on their homework page so if they have difficulties with the homework they have examples to look back.   Homework Pg 94 13-41 odd.
