Check out your grades!!!  The more work you do, the better your grade gets!!!  As you know, we have been working real hard.  Our school year is NOT over!  I keep telling you that the only way to fail is by not completing your work.  Please make sure you keep up.  If you miss one assignment and have to make it up, you are falling behind and then creating a bigger workload for yourself. 

There will be a Chapter 10 test on Monday, May 14th worth 3 grades.  Please make sure you complete the 20 question Interactive Practice Test  for Chapter 10 with a score of 80% or higher and turn it in for extra credit.

We will begin working on Integers next week as well as prepare for our Final Exam which will take place the week of May 21st.  The final exam will consist of a everything we've learned this year and be worth several grades.  A good way to prepare for it, is to go through all the workbook pages we've done.  Remember how I told you to keep your workbook pages in tact? -- now you will be able to reap the benefits of doing so!  Also, you can take the Practice quizzes from the online text. 

We are almost at the finish line.  Now is not the time to slow down.  We must push harder than ever!  I am proud of the progress you have made and look forward to seeing the rewards when the scores arrive!
