This month in math, students across all grades are diving into exciting topics!

8th Grade: Students will be exploring transformations. They'll work on translations, reflections, rotations, and dilations while analyzing how figures move and change in the coordinate plane.

7th Grade: We're focusing on angles and triangles. Students will investigate angle relationships, classify triangles, and solve problems using properties of geometry.

6th Grade: Our focus is on measures of central tendency (mean, median, and mode) and data distributions. Students will interpret data, create visual representations, and analyze what the data tells us.

Encourage your students to share what they’re learning at home and make connections to the world around them. Let’s make February a month full of mathematical discovery!

This quarter in Language Arts, our students have been diving into history through the lens of our historical fiction unit. As we wrap up this engaging journey, students have not only explored captivating novels like The Children's Blizzard and The Mystery in Rocky Mountain National Park, but they’ve also connected with the past by creating their own historical fiction journals. These creative works allowed students to step into the shoes of characters from different eras, blending imagination with historical accuracy. It’s been wonderful to see their enthusiasm as they brought history to life through storytelling, and I'm so proud of the effort and creativity they’ve shown! 

BVLA business is booming!  Our Dual Credit Personal Finance students are diving right into budgeting and saving.  Our Management students are developing their own sovereign nations while exploring economics, and our Business & Marketing Essentials students are exploring the different functions of business.  The Spring semester Is off to a great start, and I'm excited to see the amazing work our students are doing!  BVLA Means Business!

Congrats to all students passing their Fin Math, A2, and Geometry classes last year.  The geometry classes had a big PBL of gathering data, then finding probability from the data.  A big congrats to all the hard work.

Algebra 1 is going over foundational skillsl this month, but will move into real world problem solving applications very soon.  

A big shout out to Freshmen for having their cameras on and participating.

Time for a fresh start as we enter January. I'm excited to get started on some narrative writing and some science fiction from Ray Bradbury to start the semester. Thank you to everyone for being flexible the first few days of school as it was defintely a unique start to the semester. Feel free to reach out with any questions or concerns!

I can't believe it's already January! Student's came back from Winter Break ready to learn and have accomplished so much these last few weeks. We have so many things to look forward to the rest of this semester, so please make sure your student is staying caught up in all their classes.

As always, I'm here to support our students any way I can!
