(THIS HOMEWORK IS A MUST-DO.  tests are a big deal...35% of your grade, so you must take this seriously.  if you do not have your homework completed on the review, your parents will be notified by getting a phone call on monday.)

please plan on coming to tutorial tomorrow!!!

rectangle, rhombus, and square practice.

today you received your quizzes back.  with a majority of students not being as successful as we had hoped, we decided to spend one more day reviewing rectangles, rhombuses, and squares.  tomorrow we will move on to kites and trapezoids!


homework: practice worksheet (rectangles, rhombuses, and squares)
1st period: evens only
3rd and 4th period: odds only

four days off.

we have a longggg weekend with both friday and monday off!  this would be a great time to get some extra practice with quadrilaterals since there are so many properties that you need to know!
