Hello everyone! I am spending my mornings watching the Women's World Cup soccer games, spending the afternoons gardening, and spending my evenings coaching, cleaning, and just staying busy overall.
*I have heard that report cards were mailed today, June 28. Keep checking your mailbox!
*I have the "Summer 6" page up on this blog now for incoming 6th graders interested in practicing math basics over the summer. The page is a work in progress, but hopefully it will help you get started.
*Pre-algebra summer studiers should be working steadily. Please use the pre-algebra page of this blog for answer keys & extra practice pages. I have not yet set the test dates, but I will let you know.
*Chicken update: New pics! They are all living outside now, happily cruising through the yard, and enjoying their freedom. They avoid the grumpy big hens as much as possible.
I hope you are enjoying your summer!
Mo ;-)

Weekend Update 6/11
Wonderful spring trip with the 8th graders. I will miss them all so much!
Trans Math:
*ALL of the Finance Park book grades have been posted in Teacherease.
*I will get to the rest of your assignments by Tuesday evening; then you can consider your grades "locked in."
*If you are studying pre-algebra this summer, be sure to check the pre-algebra page of this blog. I will be sending the letter home soon.
Pre-Algebra: I haven't looked through your stock files yet. I plan to do that by this Wednesday. Your grades will be "locked in" at that time.
I hope you all had fun in Portland!

Weekend Update 6/5
SUNSHINE rules the weekend! However, it slows me down in several ways:
*The baby chicks are spending their first day outdoors. (see chicks page)
*Ella had her dance recital this evening (saw Samia, Monica, and Elena too!)
*Trip to the Farmer's Market tomorrow.
*Mr. Jeff's birthday is also tomorrow! (Family party)
Consequently ...
*SLOWLY but surely I am finishing the Finance Park Books and entering them into Teacherease. This is difficult to do when I would love to be working in the yard, but I am correcting intermittently while sitting on the back patio. A handful of the grades have been posted, but the majority have not yet. Hang in there!
*I will most likely NOT be entering retest grades and redone or late papers until the end of next week, so do not panic. (yet?)
*For those of you who checked out and took the Pre-Algebra books and study guides home, I will be sending you an email soon with more details. Anyone who did NOT check out a book that still wants to, you will need to remember this Monday, 6/6, to do so.
I hope you enjoyed the NOVA year-end party last night in spite of the bittersweet moments. Sorry I couldn't be there, but Ella had her last soccer game for the season and we celebrated afterwards at Red Robin.
Enjoy the rest of the weekend,
Mo ;-)
