STAAR READY!

On behalf of the 8th grade team, we would like to let you, our students, know how proud we are of all the hard work you all have put forth, since day one. Even though there are days where we test each other’s’ patience or you catch us about to pull our hair out, we want to remind you that we have these frustrations because we want the best for you and from you.

Our hopes are that you will each reach your highest potential, and as a whole SOAR. It has been an honor watching you discover slowly but surely just how far your intelligence has taken you in just a short few months.

Now, the time has come to put all that daily brain exercise to use and show everyone at RGCCISD just how hard you’ve been working here at Ac2E Middle. I BELIEVE IN YOU!

Happy Spring Break!

The upcoming week should be filled with family & fun. Relax, don't stress about school and re-energize! When we return on Monday, it will be a short 4 day week with the Easter holiday that Friday. We will use those few days to touch up on some last minute STAAR skills to make sure every one of you achieves that Level III status the following week! I believe in you! 

STAAR is around the corner!!

The moment we have been preparing for, is around the corner. Please do not be absent. Every review session is critical and will make the difference between just passing and achieving that level 3 that I know you can all accomplish. The countdown is on, Math STAAR exam in 9 days! 

Reminders:

- Keep up the donut sales! 

- Spring Break is next week!

Welcome Back!

Welcome Back! We have lots to do in a short amount of time so let's be at school, on time and on task to make sure we get done all that we need to! :) Let's keep a positive attitude about our new bell schedule, and remember that it has been put in place to help us not hurt us.

The 8th grade Bell Schedule is as follows:

Happy Holidays!

Holiday Break!

At the end of this week, we will go on winter break, but we still have several things going on at school that will require our attention so make sure you are at school. You don't want to come back in January, and realize you are already behind. The first thing of major importance is the review of our six weeks test. We need to understand if and where we went wrong and why. We also need to self evaluate and start taking advantage of Saturday tutorials. If there are concepts that you have not mastered, we will be reviewing them in tutorials, make sure to be there. I will be calling parents this week to make them aware of my recommendation for some of you to be here on Saturdays. Take it upon yourself to be there, without me having to pick up the phone. Remember, once we come back from break in January, we will have 3 months till you math kiddos have your test! Let's make those Saturdays count. 

Reminders: 

-Attendance counts. Be at school. 

-Donate toys for our toy drive. 

-2nd period social on Friday. Bring snacks. 

-Early release Friday!  (Star Wars premiere!)

Tests! Tests! Tests!

This week we will be trying out a few different review strategies for our upcoming six weeks exam, which will be this Friday! The exam will cover all topics from the third six weeks. Be sure to take home your interactive notebooks and review review review! Have a great week! 

Welcome Back!

Welcome back everyone! Did you miss me? I sure did miss you! Let's get right to it. Within the next few weeks, we will be wrapping up our unit on linear equations so you can probably guess what will be on your 3rd six weeks exam. Don't forget progress report night is this Wednesday at peter piper pizza! :) Dojo Points for all who come! 

Also, this Saturday is Super Saturday! Come enrich your mind in Math & Algebra! :)

Happy Thanksgiving!

Have a safe holiday kids! Get plenty of rest and try not to miss my class too much! :)
