Welcome to 7th Grade Accelerated/STEM Math! My name is Mrs. Newsome. I was born and raised in Leesburg, Georgia and I graduated from Lee County High School. After that I attended Georgia Southwestern State University where I earned my B.S. in Middle Grades Education with concentrations in Mathematics and English Language Arts. I also have Masters in Instructional Technology from the University of West Georgia and a Specialist in Middle Grades Education from Georgia Southwestern State University. This is my 5th year teaching 7th Grade Math/Accelerated Math at Lee County Middle School East.

7th Grade Accelerated Math is a challenging course. Over the course of the school year we will cover half of the 7th Grade Math standards and all of the 8th Grade Math standards. This will prepare you for the high school math course you will take in 8th grade. Collaboration, data analysis, technology use, and problem-solving are some of the skills we use in our day-to-day Accelerated Math/STEM class. We also keep math journals which house notes and example problems from class. If you ever miss a day of school you can always find my notes on Google Classroom. I look forward to our school year together!
