=**7th & 8th Grade Math - Mr. Niederquell - Waverly Middle School** = 6/3/10 - Welcome! Time is short!! All missing and make-up assignments need to be completed by this coming Tuesday (6/8) if at all possible so that they can be graded by the close of this trimester. Summer is right around the corner :)!!

= Additional Practice & Study Island = Anyone like or need **additional practice** for over the summer??? I would highly encourage this for every student! Specifically, I highly encourage the use of Study Island and using it to review this year's content. (Until recently I have not been a big believer/supporter of Study Island, but I //really do// see the benefits for students, parents, and teachers. Please consider it and work through the pitfalls of it in order to make it a useful tool in your child's mathematics education).


 * Go to www.studyisland.com**

I encourage and suggest to work through each topic of 7th/8th grade until satisfied with the success of that topic. This means (when stuck and not understanding) **__//opening//__ //__the lesson that teaches you how to do it__//,** **//__studying how to do the specific problem__//** (not just clicking away and guessing until you get the right answer) and **//__practicing the topic more__//.** Then, move onto the next topic. 

There are some 'more fun' ways to use Study Island such as using the __game mode**__ that students usually like to do. This mode still has kids do the exact same questions but with a game component - relevant and age appropriate.

Please feel free to provide feedback at nniederquell@waverlyk12.net. Thanks!! (I know, I better update that picture, hey?!?)
