Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving to all of my students and their families.  I have so many blessings to count, one of them being a job that I love and students who are awesome.  Count your blessings and have a wonderful holiday and weekend.

Online Books

All students have been given the instructions to obtain usernames and passwords for the Glencoe McGraw Hill online books series.  This is a great resource not only for completing homework and studying for assessments, but to enable students to enhance their math skills. 

Parent Night

It was great to meet and see all of the parents last Thursday.  If you ever have any questions or concerns, please to not hesitate to contact me. 

Welcome Back!

It was great to see everyone at the opening picnic.  I am excited to start a new school year and get to know all of the 6th graders.  It's going to be a great year.  Enjoy your last few days and I will see you on Wednesday!

I am so proud of each of you for working so hard and doing your best on the State Tests.  We have turned the corner towards the end of the school year.  Keep up the great work, we are almost there!

Happy Pi Day! 3/14/14

We celebrated Pi Day on Friday by discussing how early mathematicians discovered pi, heard a story, and ate pie! Thank you to all of you for sending in the delicious pies and circular treats!

Hope everyone enjoyed their winter break!

I hope everyone enjoyed their time off and are well rested and ready to get back into the swing of things.  A reminder to all students, the review assignment given over the break is due Tuesday.  This is a graded assignment.  Make sure you have shown your work, where applicable, and done your best.

Congrats to Cast & Crew of Seussical Jr.!

Wow! I was so impressed at the talent that was demonstrated in Seussical Jr.  It was awesome to see the students in a different element outside of the classroom.  Thank you to all of the involved faculty/staff and volunteers who worked so hard to make the play a success.  Great job! With our snow days now behind us and only two weeks until the February break, let's dig in and really work hard these next two weeks!

Mid-term Math 6 & 7

Reminder to Math 6 & 7 students, mid-term is Tuesday and Wednesday.  Over the weekend, review your study guide and use your books and/or logins to ConnectEd for more examples.  Practice, practice, practice will make you better and you will achieve success on the mid-term!

Happy New Year!

Happy 2014! May the new year bring good health and happiness to each of you.  I continue to be overwhelmed by the support and generosity of the families here at DeSales.  I truly appreciate it and am looking forward to great things in the new year.
