Wow... this year is off to a great start, and absolutely flying by!
This year, myself and Ms. Isaac are running a two person team. I will be teaching the Math and Science end of the spectrum.
In Math, we will be wrapping up numbers and operations in the next few weeks before we jump to Geometry by November.
In science, the students have been working hard to master the ever challenging curriculum. We will be spending a few more weeks discussing the waters of the ocean, as well as the organisms and components that make it the wonderful habitat that it is.
We will then be making a big turn to one of our most challenging but exciting topics, Chemistry!
Please encourage your children to continue to fill out their agendas with homework and reminders, and please sign them every night. This is the most important communication tool on the Dolphins team, and Ms. Isaac and myself will send many notes home to you throughout the year. Also, if your child does not have their agenda signed in the morning, they will be required to sit in silent lunch. This is usually a pretty disappointing part of their day, and a simple area where it could be avoided.
We appreciate all you do to help us give your child the best 8th grade year possible!
If you have any concerns, please write a note in the agenda, or send an email. These will be my quickest sources for a response.
Lets continue this great year!
