Welcome to second semester of Geometry!  We have completed the algebra review, done an overview of the state standards for 8th grade in the area of geometry, and are now focusing on more in-depth geometry topics and proofs.  Assignments for third and fourth quarter will be listed below, but are subject to change until the day assigned.  Tests will be shown both on this page and in the middle school testing calendar.  Please contact me at kwalker@rmcacs.org if you have any questions!
