Middle School Math

Dr. Englund will be receiving your overall grade for our recently completed straw rocket project. Be sure to turn in all assignments from the project!

The third round of Mastery Testing will occur during Study Hall on Wednesday 9/3/08, so hopefully you have taken some time over the past 4-day weekend to brush up on the skills that need work.

Study your mistakes from the first 2 rounds of testing and BE READY for the next round. Remember that you only have 3 chances to get 100% or else you will need to attend the mandatory afterschool sessions!

GOOD LUCK!!!!!!

All 7th graders who have not passed with a score of 100% need to report directly to the dining hall at 2:00 pm on WEDNESDAY 9/3/08 to take their second round of testing!  Practice Practice Practice!  GOOD LUCK!

All 8th graders who have not passed with a score of 100% need to report directly to the dining hall at 2:00 pm on WEDNESDAY 8/27/08 to take their second round of testing!  Practice Practice Practice!  GOOD LUCK!

Looks about right!  Measure to confirm!

All picture frames (finished or not!) will be graded on Wednesday afternoon (10/31/07) and the final grades will be submitted to Mr. K for the first trimester.

Take the time to do a good job!  It’ll be worth the effort!

Each pair of students must complete one NWNG Poster and one Pa’ina Day Poster using Photoshop and the digital pictures that were taken on 9/20/07. Be sure to properly cite the source of your water slide photos if they were taken from a website.

Do not print posters yet … place them in Mr. K’s drop box for grading when you are finished.

Report back to the computer lab starting Monday 9/24/07, but be sure to stop by the VTAM Lab to finish cutting the plexiglass and plywood sheets to fit your individually sized frame. Finished frames should have even coats of finish, nail holes filled with putty, and framer’s points holding in the wood and plexiglass (don’t peel paper off yet). Label each frame with your first and last name, c/o 2012, and Kamehameha Schools written clearly on the back.

Tech students are currently fabricating picture frames for use by our art students when displaying work at the annual art show at the East Hawai’i Cultural Center.

     Got all your pieces?  Do a good job sanding!

     Glue and clamp …..

     Cut your backing …..

     Apply that Danish Oil …..
