Middle School Summer Information First of all we would like to share a warm welcome to all of Mrs. Newton’s class. We are excited to have you as part of the Middle School.
There are several things that the middle school teachers would like to share with our students.
In order to experience great success in Middle School, students should spend time over the summer preparing for their upcoming classes. Students need to practice all math skills over the summer. Reading is also an important skill to continue practicing.
We have a required reading list for 7th and 8th grade students. Sixth grade students are also encouraged to read at least 3 books of their choice over the summer. Just click on the link and choose a book to enjoy.
We have included some very good internet links to help students review their math skills before starting back to school. These sites will allow students to determine what skills they need to review. The first site will allow them to design printable worksheets on those skills. The second site is an interactive site that will allow them to practice selected skills. As a suggestion, here are some skills that may be helpful for each grade level.
Students entering 6th grade All number facts for addition, subtraction, multiplication and division
Students entering 7th grade All operations involving integers, fractions, decimals and percents
Students entering 8th grade Pre-Algebra and Basic Algebra Skills Don't forget all rising 8th grade students were given a math packet to be completed by August 25 (extras are available in the office).
To assist you with getting ready for the first day of class click on the link for a copy of the Middle School Supply List.
Mrs. Schline, Mrs. Rasmussen, Mrs. Isaac and Mrs. Mathews hope that all students have a very safe and happy summer. God be with you wherever you may be.
