Looks like all the same things are on the schedule: 30+ minutes of KHAN math this week, 30+ minutes of reading,
Language packet #3, Math Minutes, Asia Map completions and study- next week we will have Asia Bingo!
BIM work is up and the chapter review should be complete so you're ready for the Chapter 2 test!

Thrasher's Science Camp Prep: Week 9
Mr. Kyle
Oct. 3 of WEEK 8
Thanks everyone for working with your student and making sure that they caught up with the KHAN math homework / classwork. I really want parents to know that this is the key to your student's math success going forward! I have seen mediocre students math advance to way above grade level by consistently applying effort to this work.
Please check your student's multiplication tables as well! We have been working on these in class and seeing some progress, but there needs to more and ASAP!
Common Sense would say that this is the year to really get things going with Math(Reading and Writing as well) cause once Jr. High gets going, it's easy to fall behind.
Spelling Test #3 tomorrow! Let's all get 100%
Week Peek is posted and ready to view!
Keep working on those Asia Maps and learning the countries!

Common Sense: com·mon sense| ˌkämən ˈsens | noun good sense and sound judgment in practical matters: [as modifier] : a common-sense approach
Hi everyone, I am practicing common sense these next two weeks to rest and recuperate from back surgery. I know the class is in good hands and will continue to surge forward with their school subjects. My plan is to take one more week and then start physical therapy on the third week.
Keep checking in here to stay connected to the class, our progress and what to do to get ready for our upcoming science camp!
Mr. Kyle
PS.
Check in with your students to make sure that they are keeping up with their Khan Math. Many students are two weeks behind and about to see how their math grade is impacted by not doing their weekly KHAN work!

Sept. 16. WEEK 6
Energetic: adj. possessing or exhibiting energy, especially in abundance; vigorous:an energetic leader.
Hey Room 18ites!
Energetic is what I am trying to be as I prepare lessons for my sub for next Friday and the following week. No, I am not going on an extended surf trip to Moorea, rather, I am having back surgery. The procedure is called a laminotomy and here is the definition: A laminotomy is an orthopaedic neurosurgical procedure that removes part of the lamina of a vertebral arch in order to relieve pressure in the vertebral canal. A laminotomy is less invasive than conventional vertebral column surgery techniques, such as laminectomy because it leaves more ligaments and muscles attached to the spinous process intact and it requires removing less bone from the vertebra.
I appreciate your thoughts and prayers!
This week we continue to add pieces to our Small Moment narrative writing project. Students have started connecting their story events and writing out how they want their story to unfold. Get some details from them on how its going and what the take-a-way will be when the "big thing that happened" is over!
KHAN Math is catching on and the students are responding well to the bonus challenges and the push to do 45 minutes per week. Check it out and see what your student is working on today!
The level of learning and growth from the students has been very inspiring and many of the students are pushing themselves to achieve their best levels of growth in writing, math, reading and even throwing frisbees with accuracy!
Learning no limits,

A little bit about me:
This begins my 37th year of teaching! I have seen many cycles in education and a lot of them are just the same with different names. Some things that I do not change or leave out are:
1) Honoring all my students for who they are and giving each one equal attention and access to learning. (EQUALITY)
2) Giving each student the benefit of the doubt (trust).
3) Believing students will rise to meet all the expectations of being a positive student who is growing toward their potential. (BELIEF)
4) Respecting our country by saluting the American flag each morning. (RESPECT AND HONOR)
I hope you will agree with me that now more than ever, we need to stand together as Americans to honor our country, OUR FLAG and all those who give and gave so much to make this the great nation that it is!
