Welcome to the Holy Spirit Catholic Middle School blog!

We are into our fourth week of school. I hope all are adjusting well to the 2012-2013 school year. This blog will be used as a weekly update for the middle school math classes. Each of the students, and their parents, have the availability to join the class site on Edmodo.com. The Edmodo group account will be used on a daily basis. One can find the work done in class each day, as well as the assignment given for homework. Students and teachers may also interact with each other on anything math related.

Thus far, the students have began academia within the classroom. Each student should have a book cover for their book, as well as have a signature by their parents/guardians on their syllabus.

Beginning in September, the students will be required to work on ALEKS. Found on aleks.com, the students will be able to use their log in name and password to begin working. Sixth graders are to do 10 objectives a week. Seventh graders are to do 12 objectives a week. Eighth graders are to do 15 objectives a week. If there are issues with this, please contact me and we can figure out any differentiation. The students who do not have Internet access at home will be able to use the classroom computers to work on ALEKS before/after school and sometimes during classroom time. If the students complete the required amount of objectives each week, they will be able to drop their lowest grade at the end of each month.

Please, if there are any questions or comments email epusti@holyspirit-indy.org.

Thank you,

Miss Pusti
