APRIL MADNESS HITS E.L. HAYNES!

Hey Mr. Mason,

In eight days, we have to take our state test called the DC-CAS. So far this school year, we have been practicing showing GRIT and perseverance. How have you used perseverance, GRIT and determination either on or off the court? Our 7th grade theme is called “Hoopin’ It Up.” The teachers have been wearing basketball jerseys to help us get ready for the DC-CAS. We even have a motivational test rap. The lyrics have been changed from “On to the Next One” by Jay-Z to “On to the Next Test.” We also have motivational posters up on the walls! What do you think we should do to be able to slam dunk the CAS?

Patricia, Emani, Maura, Jackelyn, Jane, Elisel, Tinaeya, Hawa and Kenora

catching up

Hi Everybody,

I'm catching up with you guys. I've been busy with games here lately. It's been good, we lost a couple and won a few. Wow, this math quiz got me. Here are my answers:

1. x= -41 2. x=-3 3. x=18 4. x= -6 5. I don't know! Well you might want to check my work! it's been a while. Sorry, I didn't know the last answer. Thanks for reminding me that I too have to keep up . You guys are sharp.

Well we are starting our Road trip, it's call the Rodeo Road trip( the Rodeo is in San Antonio and we are on the road for 25 days! almost all of February. While on the trip, I spent a lot of time with my teammates and coaches. As far as the downtime we read, work on the computer, sleep of course and often have afternoon meals together.
If you were stuck with 13 friends on the road how would you spend that time?

Well give a shout out while I am on the road.

Study Hard!
Roger
