9-1 Squash Student

One of our classmates joined in to help Calvert's middle school squash team in their match today. He played beautifully and demonstrated superb sportsmanship. 

Great job!!

Math Fact Review

To stay fresh on your division facts, it is important to review them regularly. Feel free to use the Math Connects website for extra review. My math students enjoy using "Scrambled Egg City" to practice their division facts. There are division fact practices from Chapter 6, lesson 4 through Chapter 7, lesson 5. There are also additional practice problems  in the "fact dash" and "personal tutor" sections. Happy reviewing!

Physical Education Class

Today the boys had a terrific time during P.E. playing "Pillow Polo". Here is a sneak peek into their game!

Martin Luther King Assembly

Dressed in our football attire, we joined together today in the middle school gym for our Martin Luther King assembly.

The assembly began with a wonderful presentation by one of the members of the 8th grade class, and concluded with a beautiful song lead by staff and faculty members of the Calvert community.

Here is a peek into our inspiring morning. 

The Egypt Game

We are continuing through The Egypt Game in reading class. The main characters have been working with their own secret hieroglyphic writing, so we spent time in class today creating one of our own. We then wrote messages as if we were characters in the story.

Terrific Job!
