6th Grade
Today in 6th grade, we spent a lot of time going over procedures, expectations, and organization.We discussed the homework policy and all the students signed the policy. Parents, please sign this as well and return with your child no later than next Wednesday, the 18th. Then, the class began Lesson 1 from the book. The lesson is a review of addition and subtraction, so it shouldn't be a problem for anyone! Remember, the practice problems are part of every lesson. They will count as points so don't skip them! Please follow the format we discussed in class, referring to the sheet I handed out if you don't remember. Also, don't forget labels! You will miss the problem if you didn't label correctly. Lesson 1 is due tomorrow.
7th Grade
We had a very busy day in 7th grade! The day started with a few specials - Spanish and P.E. After the specials, we discussed procedures, rules, expectations, etc. We discussed the homework policy and all the students signed the policy. Parents, please sign this as well and return with your child no later than next Wednesday, the 18th. We also got organized! The students will be using binders and we set them up properly today. A few students didn't get three binders because they didn't see the updated supplies list. Please make sure you have these as soon as possible.
For Vocabulary, the students will be working with idioms as well as the vocabulary book. We learned what an idiom is and the class wrote sentences with the idiom for the day - "a day in the sun". Each day, the class will learn a new one, write it and the definition down, and write a sentence using the new idiom. Then, at the end of each two week period, when the class takes the vocabulary test, they will also have an idioms test. I will also take a grade on the idiom sentences.
In math, the class just took a timed test over addition today. We will be diving into curriculum tomorrow so be ready!

8th Grade
It was so nice to see the 8th graders again! This will be our third year and I'm very excited. After discussing procedures, rules, expectations, and the homework policy, we reviewed order of operations and I passed out a homework assignment consisting of five problems to solve. Please read through the homework policy, sign, and return to me no later than next Wednesday, the 18th.
I'm looking forward to a great year in middle school!
See you tomorrow,
