What!? For real!? No, really, bring your phones, tablets, or other mobile devices to math class on Monday, October 2nd. We will be playing a Kahoot review game that works well with personal devices. If you don’t have anything to bring or don’t want to, that’s ok too. We’ll have a chrome cart available as well. Happy weekending!
Mr. Zimmer
O.L. Smith Vikings,
At this point all math classes have had the opportunity to log in to Khan Academy, Google Classroom, and Student Connect. While in class together all students added me as a coach on Khan Academy, signed up for my Google Classroom, and took a peek at Student Connect. If you have been absent, or somehow missed the opportunity, here’s what to do:
Khan Academy:
Use the following codes to add me as your coach. This is how you will get credit for the work you do on Khan Academy. Every student is required to practice skills for 60 minutes every week.
2nd Hour: QHE2UC
3rd Hour: QE82FG
4th Hour: MGWT8P
Google Classroom:
Sign up for my class to get important updates, have access to in-class assignments, and read announcements. You must use the sign-up codes below to join the class:
2nd Hour: 95dq4e6
3rd Hour: hnoetl
4th Hour: dbfuyfl
Student Connect:
Follow this link to access your grades in all classes. Use your student ID number as your username and your birthday password as your password.
O.L. Smith Vikings,
Mr. Zimmer’s math classes will be NWEA testing on Monday, September 18th and Tuesday, September 19th. Results will be immediately available to students. Good luck everyone!
Mr. Zimmer
This is a repeat of an earlier post. Don’t forget!
Assignment #1 – Bring a math notebook to class. This must be one notebook that is only for math class.
Assignment #2 – Bring a folder or a binder to class. Either one is fine. Choose whichever one you would prefer to use to organize your loose papers. Again, this must be only for math class.
Assignment #3 – Bring a decoration to contribute to the classroom. As you will notice on the first day of school, decorating a room is not my specialty. I need your help! You can bring something home-made, you can bring something store bought, you can bring whatever you want to put in the classroom that will make it more beautiful. We’ll talk more about this the first day of school, but start thinking about what you can contribute.
Assignment #4 – You will be given a syllabus on the first day of school. You must take it home, have a parent or guardian sign the back page, and return it to me.
These four assignments will all be due on Friday, September 8th.
Psst, do you want to earn some extra credit? If you bring supplies to share with the entire class you can earn a little extra credit. Boxes of tissues, packages of pencils, and paper are always needs, but anything that you would like to bring in to share with the class will earn you extra credit.
Students,
Did you just pick up your 6th grade schedule? Do you have me as a math teacher? Congratulations, I can’t wait to have you in class! Are you looking to get started on your first homework assignments? Of course you are! These are not typical math assignments, but they will be counted for credit as your first grades in the gradebook.

Students and Parents,
Below is a recommend list of school supplies that has been compiled and organized by a few of our sixth grade teachers. Please note that these supplies are recommended, but not every single item on the list is a requirement. If you have yet to do your back to school shopping please use this list to guide your purchases. If you are not able to acquire any of the necessary supplies please don’t hesitate to talk to me, your other teachers, or the main office staff.
6th Grade Math List ONLY (students will view all supplies on the first day of school)
that students can make into a pocket page in class
6th Grade (for other classes)
This is NOT in any way related to our president, but it is in honor of our wonderful planet earth. In celebration of all we can do to keep America, and our planet, beautiful we are decorating the 7th grade bulletin board with strategies to beautify the Earth. See the link below for ideas.
If you would like to submit anything for the bulletin board you will receive a nominal amount of extra credit in Mr. Zimmer’s class. All submissions are due by Friday.
Mr. Zimmer
The M-STEP test is right around the corner. 8th graders begin testing when we come back from spring break, and 7th graders test late in April. Below is a link to M-STEP practice resources.

We will explore these resources in class before the test begins, but if you have some extra time click on the link and see what the test looks like.
Mr. Zimmer
Both 7th and 8th graders have unit tests coming up next week, so we will be having a Kahoot review quiz the day before. You can bring you phone to use on the Kahoot quiz that day, or you can use one of the school Chrome Books.
7th Grade: Bring your phones on Wednesday, and the unit test will start Thursday.
8th Grade: Bring you phones on Monday, and the unit test will start on Tuesday.
