Hello Wildcats

I'm looking forward to another great week here at Belle Creek. This is spirit week so make sure your dressing up in school spirit for each day. Friday is the color challenge day so make sure to wear orange. 

IXL- It is required that every student completes a minimum of 1hr/week in IXL. 2 hours would be ideal if you are struggling. Many students didn't complete their IXL last week and this not only effects your grade but more importantly your learning. 

We will also have a Savvas assignment this week.

Only 3 more weeks left of the quarter, let's finish off strong!

 

Sincerely,

Mr. Timperman

Mr. Timperman

Hello Wildcats!

Looking forward to another excellent week. We finally are back on a Monday, so let's get ready for a 5 day school week. 

IXL- 1 hour minimum/week. If your child is struggling in math I suggest 2-3 hours to get caught up. Times tables and fractions are still a struggle for many students. This skills are crucial for success in Middle School math and need to be mastered. 

Savvas- There will be at least 1 savvas assignment due/week.

Going forward all Homework will be due at 8 am on Monday. This way students with very busy weeks can get caught up over the weekend. 

Let's have a great week!

 

Mr. Timperman

Good afternoon Wildcats,

 

I'm looking forward to another great week here at Belle Creek. We will be introducing IXL into our math curriculum this week. I used IXL for several years back in Indiana and I feel like it is an excellent tool for learning. Going forward the expectation will be to complete a minimum of 45 minutes/week to continue to master our skills. I will be giving more information in class tomorrow. We will also continue journal checks later in the week so make sure to stay focused and continue to take notes.

 

Sincerely,

Mr. Timperman

What an awesome start to the school year. I hope you all had a nice restful Labor Day Weekend! We have next Monday 9/8 off as well for Teacher Professional Development. Lets have a great couple of weeks.

 

This week we will be starting homework on Savvas through Google Classroom. I am making this first assignment due Monday 9/8 since we have a short week. Remember there are no late assignments accepted this year so please stay on top of things. 

 

Journal Checks- I have begun checking journals. I have seen a lot of amazing notes. Remember to keep things organized and write everything on the board down. Don't forget to include dates so I can continue to see your amazing progress throughout the year. 

Let's have a great week!

 

Sincerely,

Mr. Timperman

What an awesome first week back. Students have been working hard, working together in teams, and getting back to the routines of school. I'm so excited for another great year at Belle Creek. We just handed out chromebooks today and will be Star Math Testing tomorrow. Please make sure your chromebooks are charged and ready to go. Next week we will start Savvas assignments, assigned on Monday and due every Friday. Remember this year Middle School will have a no late work policy. We're off to a great start so lets keep up the good work Wildcats!

 

Sincerely,

Mr. Timperman
