2009-2010
Math (all groups)
Currently all math groups need to have the same materials to create a portfolio. They need a 3 ring binder 1-2 inches, dividers for the 3 ring binder and notebook paper (one package). They will also need a calculator, pencil and their agenda daily.
portfolios have 5 sections: Warm-ups, Lessons/Activities, Vocabulary, Assessments, and Journals/Reflections. The portfolios should remain organized and clean, students will turn in portfolios for an overall grade at least once per trimester.
Bear with me! I am using a new math curriculum this trimester. It is called "Transmath" (by Sopris West) and the kids are taking a liking to it but I have not quite figured out how I am going to work my gradebook and homework, etc. I have been testing things out and this is why I ask you to hang in there.

Social Skills (all groups)
Currently all social skills groups need to have the same materials to create a portfolio with. They need a 3 ring binder, 1-2 inches, dividers for the 3 ring binder and notebook paper (one package). The portfolios will be stored in the social skills room unless the students choose to have them with them or take them home. There may be times they have something to show to parents or guardians or they may need to do some work at home for class. The portfolios will be split into 5 sections: Warm-Ups, Vocabulary, Lessons/Activities, Journals/Reflections and Permanent (this will stay in the binder throughout the year).
Weekly Social Skills Agenda:
Currently all 7th graders are reading "Sea of Monsters" so that they are able to participate in the 7th grade discussion group on the 25th of March before break. We are reading and discussing quickly so that we can finish in time.
