Active Math

Students were very hands on today.  All classes did an experiment or game in class.  Ask your 8th grader (GOLD) how they broke their bridges, 7th grade about Jumping Jacks, and 6th grade how to play the Factor Game.  Please check your child's class page for ACE (homework numbers) tonight.

Math -Tastic Monday!

Hello All,
In each class today we took a Pretest over our first chapter of the year.  All students have vocab tonight as homework. 

This week, starting tomorrow, 8th grade will be blocked for math and science.  I will see 8 Gold on Tuesday and Thursday and 8 Green on Wednesday and Friday. 

Please remember to check assignment notebooks daily!  I tend to have homework daily!

Have a great day!

First Full Week

I hope every one has adjusted to the first full week of school.  Please e mail me with any questions of concerns you have about middle school procedures.

Every class has homework for the weekend.  Please check assignment notebooks and ask your child if they have their work completed for Monday!

Picture Day Monday, dress out, no jeans!

Have a great weekend!
Miss Pelle

What a great Thursday!

I am so excited to see I have 8 followers!  The more the merrier!  As a reminder, along with checking the home page of the blog, don't forget to check you're child's class page (and homeroom page if it applies to you.) and assignment notebook. Also, I have listed other Holy Spirit teacher's blog links under my Check it out.

Tomorrow will be our last day reviewing.  Monday we start our first chapter in the text book.  8th grade's first chapter is Thinking with Mathematical Models, 7th grade's first chapter is variables and Patterns, and 6th grade's first chapter will be Prime Time. 

Have a great day!
Miss Pelle

Review Day

Hello Parents,
Take a look at your child's assignment notebook.  I shared the blog with each class and stuck the address in their assignment notebooks.  Every one was really excited about our new math site!  Feel free to become a follower, the more the merrier!!  Let me know what you think!

Today was our first day taking notes.  Your child most likely heard (many times) "If it's on the smart board, it's in your notes."  The notes taken today will help with tonight's homework.

Please check your class page for homework details!

Have a great night!

Middle School Math - Getting Started

Greetings Parents and Students,

Welcome to my blog!  This is my first experience with "blogging"  and I hope you visit often!  This blog will serve as an information center for students and parents.  I will be posting homework assignments, dates for upcoming Tests/Quizzes, important reminders, brief summaries of day-to-day classroom activities and discuss topics and standards covered in class. 

Middle school had an excellent start to the new school year.  I've really enjoyed getting to know the new 6th grade class, as well as the new students to Holy Spirit.

Math binders were organized Monday.  As a reminder, student's math binders need to come to class with them every day, they also need to go home every night.  The handout, notes and vocab sections serves as the students' text book, students will be adding valuable information to these binders daily.

Tomorrow, all classes will begin reviewing essential skills/standards from the previous year.  Please check tomorrow for more posts, updates, and assignment listings!

Have a wonderful night!

Miss Pelle
