Welcome to Math 7 2021.22PreAlgebra with Mrs. Hallahan ☺
COMMUNICATIONGood Parent, Teacher, Student Communication is essential for a child’s success in school.
Recent studies indicate that the more actively involved a parent is in his or her child’s schoollife, the more the child excels. When parents and teachers work together, a child has a teamof adults who are committed to bringing out his or her best. As parents and teachers, we
can work together to support each other in ways that keep this goal in mind.
A few important ways to help foster this communication are outlined below.
GOOGLE CLASSROOMGoogle Classroom (GCR) will serve as our Learning Management System (LMS) this school
year. Class Work, Home Work, TPRs and Assessments will be administered almost exclusivelyvia GCR. Additional tools and software that integrate with GCR will also be utilized this schoolyear such as, but not limited to; Kami, EdPuzzle, Quizizz, Google Forms, Google email, Google
Docs, Google Sheets, Google Slides. During the first few weeks of school I will spend asignificant amount of time training students in the use of this technology that will enhance,
augment and optimize student learning, workflow and communication.
Our GCR Class Code for students for Math7 2021.22 Trimester#1 is hd3aeynOnly Students with @stannesgcschool Google ID´s are able to join our GCR.
REMINDOne of the many ways that I will be communicating with you all throughout the school year is
via Remind!Receive important text communications directly from me on your phone, tablet, laptop or
desktop by signing up for Math7 2021..22 Remind.Simply text the message: @math7sas to the number 81010
Both Student and Parents should sign up for Remind!

THE ADVANCED PATHWAYThe Math program in place here at St. Anne’s offers an Advanced Pathway that begins
acceleration during the later part of 6th grade. Acceleration continues throughout all of 7thgrade. The 7th grade curriculum focuses on the PreAlgebra skills students will need in orderto be prepared for a HS level Algebra 1 course in the 8th grade. During 8th grade, students
are rigorously prepared for the Catholic High School Entrance Exams, as well as theCommon Core Algebra I Regents Exam.
