About Me

My name is Travis Timperman. This is my 11th year of teaching, 2nd with Belle Creek. I am so excited for another amazing school year. The picture above is my family, my wife and my two dogs (Allie and Cosmo). I spend most of my free time walking my dogs, hanging out with my wife, and watching sports. My favorite sport is to watch is the NBA. I also work at a restaurant part time on the weekends. I'm looking forward to getting to know all of you this year.

Week 9/30-10/4

Hello
I hope you all had a great weekend. This week we will be Star Math testing. Let's make sure we are showing our very best effort and making our school proud. Quarter 1 ends this Friday and grades are due. Please make sure you have all make up Savvas and test completed by Wednesday 10/2 so I have time to grade them. I will be checking journals Wednesday-Friday this week. Please make sure you're taking notes from everything on the board so you can maximize these points. Infinite campus is temporarily disabled for students and parents to view so students if you have any questions about your grades please come talk to me directly. Let's have another great week!
Sincerely,
Mr. Timperman

Curriculum update 9/4-9/13

8th Grade 
We will be continuing Chapter 1 lessons 1-6-1-9 (Exponents and Scientific Notation).  We just finished our mid topic assessment. Most students struggled with this, however after our review today I feel confident that the next test will go much better. Keep up the good work.
 
7th Grade
We will be continuing Chapter 1 lessons 1-6-1-9 (Operations with Integers).  We just finished our mid topic assessment. Most students struggled with this, however after our review today I feel confident that the next test will go much better. Keep up the good work.

August recap

I first want to say I hope you all had a great Labor Day Weekend!
This has been an amazing start to the school year! I am very blessed to have such wonderful classes this year. It has honestly been the best start I've ever had to a school year and I look forward to seeing you all mature and become excellent math students and excellent young men and women. A few reminders below:

Journals- Journals were very solid for August. The majority of us had very solid work. Remember to date your journals each day so you can go back and look at your notes. Some test may be open notes so make sure to write Everything down. 

Savvas- Most of us have been doing our savvas homework and I appreciate that. However, there are a number of students who haven't. These 0 point grades will drastically hurt you on your report card. If you need help, please ask and if you need to you can stay after school and I will help you out

1st Quarter Recap

We had a great 1st quarter. I was very pleased with all my classes, particularly my 7th grade for being so attentive and giving so much effort. Please make sure you are checking google classroom each week to find out what the homework is. We normally have at least 1-2 Savvas assignments each week. Math gets more and more complicated throughout the school year. Students need to come to me if they have questions so they don't fall too far behind. I am always willing to stay after school to help your child with math tutoring. Looking forward to another great quarter.
Sincerely,
Mr. Travis Timperman

First Week

Parents and students
 
I'm looking forward to a great first week. It was awesome meeting so many of you at Open House. During our first week we will be doing some getting to know you activities. One thing I would like your child to reflect on is a couple of their strengths and weaknesses from last year. We will be doing some goal setting activities for the first semester and I would like students to reflect on last year and think of how they can be an even better student this year. We are life long learners and I will be participating in this activity as well. Please feel free to email me if you ever have any questions or concerns about your child. I want everyone to feel comfortable to contact me and am looking forward to working with your child this school year.
Thank you
Mr. Timperman
