Homework for the week 9-9-19 (Due 9-13-19)
7th Grade: I have set up Khan Academy for students to do homework. Details about homework expectations are in the homework link and in this FAQ. Most students who have their Khan tied to their CPS email are already added with me as their coach for this year. I will give any student not connected time in class on Tuesday to create Khan accounts and/or add me as their coach.

Math Week 9-3-19
Hello all,
As we get homerooms organized, I will be spending this week on routines and procedures. Students will learn how to set up math notebooks, log-in to CPS email and Google classrooms, help establish classroom expectations/consequences, and practice being a community of learners. I hope to start math content homework next week on Khan Academy. I am excited to meet so many new students and parents/guardians. I am looking forward to a great year!
