Hello:
The sixth grade classes are still working their way through fractions, decimals, and percents. The green class is reaching the end of their unit and should expect a test within a week and a half. They will all be working on a project in the future. The seventh grade classes are finishing up their second unit, Stretching and Shrinking. The green class will be taking a test on Monday, while the gold class will be assessed on Tuesday. Each seventh grade class was given an outline of the unit project details. The green class deadline is next Tuesday. The gold class deadline is next Wednesday. The eighth grade class is working through the Pythagorean Theorem. All six math classes are to work on an extra credit assignment given. It is due Wednesday, 10-9-2013.
Have a great weekend,

Welcome!
The students are making great progress into their math school-year. All gold courses are to begin their First In Math requirements, graded quarterly. All green courses are to begin their ALEKS requirements, graded quarterly. An email was sent home to all parents, as well as handout given to all students. The sixth grade class is working well into their new unit, Bits and Pieces 1. This uncovers the decimal, percent, and fraction material. They will have a unit project toward the end of the unit. The seventh grade students are working towards the end of their unit, Stretching and Shrinking. They will receive a unit project rubric next week as they finish up. The eighth grade class has finished up their Thinking with Math Models unit. The green class is working well into Looking for Pythagoras. The gold class will begin next week with a pre-test on the next unit.

Welcome!
I hope everybody had a great week. The sixth grade students finished their Prime Time unit, and presented their well-made projects. I was so proud of all the sixth grade students. Their projects looked great! The sixth grade green students ended the week with a pretest for the new unit, Bits and Pieces 1. The seventh grade students also finished up their unit. They will now be working on Stretching and Shrinking. The eighth grade green students finished up their unit, Thinking with Mathematical Models and will have a final unit assessment on Monday. The eighth grade gold students are working hard towards the end of their unit, and can expect a final unit assessment and vocabulary quiz next week.

Welcome!
This last week has been very productive. The sixth grade students are working towards the end of their unit. The green students finished the week with a vocabulary quiz and will have a unit test on Monday. The gold students will begin next Monday with a vocabulary quiz and a unit test on that following Wednesday. Both classes had received information about a unit project. The green class will have theirs due next Wednesday, and the gold class will present theirs on next Thursday. Both classes will have a in-class project work day on next Tuesday. I have computers they can use if they are making a powerpoint and such.
The seventh grade students are reaching the end of their unit. The green class took their vocabulary quiz and unit test, as well as the next unit's pretest. Over the weekend, they are to look at their unit test and make corrections. The gold class finished the week with their vocabulary quiz and will start off next Monday with a unit test.
The eighth grade students are reaching the end of their unit, as well. They can expect a test within the next week. They are continuing to learn about the properties and characteristics of linear equations. Reminder: all students and parents have access to the Edmodo account to receive daily updates. Have a great weekend!

Hello,
We are now into the fourth week of school. Tests are approaching! The sixth grade students are finishing up their Prime Time unit. They should expect a test coming up in about a week. We will introduce their unit project next week, as well. The seventh grade students are finishing up their unit, as well. The green class should expect a test next Wednesday, and the gold class should expect a test the Monday following next week. The eighth grade students are working through the challenging problems of linear equations. They are working towards the end of their unit, as well. We are finalizing some adjustments with the ALEKS and First In Math requirements. Announcement concerning such will go home when decisions are finalized. If students are continuing to have trouble at home, please have them contact me through email and/or use Edmodo.com.
Have a great weekend!

Welcome! Week of 8-26-2013
Welcome!
This last week has been very productive. All six classes work very hard in the math classroom. The sixth grade students are continuing to work in their Prime Time Unit. They will have a test approaching in two weeks. The seventh grade students are working hard in their Variables and Patterns unit. They will be approaching how to pull a linear equation from a story problem. The eighth grade students are looking at how to write linear equations given different slopes, y-intercepts, and points on the line.
Have a great long 4-day weekend!

Welcome!
Welcome to another great year at Holy Spirit!
If you are interested in the back-to-school night information that was distributed, please email me letting me know. epusti@holyspirit-indy.org
As we begin the school year, the students are learning procedures for the school and the math classroom. Thus far, the students have been doing a great job in the classroom! I am so impressed with the way they are choosing to start off school. We hope to work hard and let it continue throughout the year!
Within the first week and a half of school, each grade has taken a pre-test. After looking at the completed pre-tests, I was able to adjust their lesson plans to best fit their needs. The sixth grade students are working in the Prime Time unit. They will learn the more in depth concepts of number theory. The seventh grade students are working with Variables and Patterns. They will be learning about linear equations and models, as well as graphing data and patterns. The eighth grade students are working in the Thinking with Mathematical Model unit. They will be reviewing the key concepts of linear equations, in order to help further build a background before moving into exponential and quadratic equations. They will work a lot with solving linear equations, as well.
I have a classroom Edmodo website. All students have returned a permission slip signed by a parent for this usage. Each student has also had a Syllabus slip signed by a parent, concerning the procedures and expectations of the classroom. If you need a copy of both, please email me.
If there are any additional questions/concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me. Thank you!
