Mrs. Robinson 8th grade Math Welcome!

    Advisory is a Wednesday morning 42 minute class where teachers meet with smaller groups of students for the purpose of advising them on academic, social, or future-planning issues. Advisory Class strengthens connectedness here at Pueblo!

Welcome to Eighth Grade! This year Curriculum Night and Meet the Teacher are combined. You are free to roam at your leisure to each teacher’s class. Supply list is in the white basket. Make sure you have the correct class. If you have questions or concerns, please fill out the green(s) form near the white basket. Thanks for stopping by!

All About Mrs. Robinson My background I born and raised in Wyoming. I graduated from University of Wyoming: BA Nova University: MA My experience This is my 16th year of teaching at Pueblo I have taught 5th, 6th, elementary grades, 7th, 8th, and 9th grade mathematics (Algebra 1.)

Belief Statement It is my belief that there is more than one way to reach a solution. There are many ways that we learn. In a safe, inviting, caring environment, we can accomplish work, learn, share, and grow together.

Mathia – all classes On line Independent math program Students will be assigned specific lessons throughout each quarter that align with the lesson in class. Assignments will be posted. Lessons will be for grade.

Daily Note Taking Requirement: Students are required to take daily notes, copying down information from the board and class presentations. If a student is absent, it is the student’s responsibility to borrow a classmate’s notes, or view the power point in Student Vue, and copy any missed notes. Daily notes are given a grade at the end of each quarter.

Assignments/ Homework: Math is a subject that requires daily practice to build and retain skills and knowledge. As such, your child will have an assignment daily, with the exception of test days. (On a test day, there is no assignment) Agenda is on line

Quiz/Test Make-up Policy: If a student is absent on the day of a quiz/test, they will have time to make up the missed quiz/test per Student Handbook policy.

Determination of Grades: (All) Quarter Grades: Homework 20%, Quizzes 30%, Tests 50% (9th -Algebra 1) Year Grade: Per TUHSD Policy 1st Semester 50%, 2nd Semester 50% This will be reflected in Parent Vue starting Quarter 1

Class Rules of Conduct: Effort towards Excellence is expected. Treat each other (and items) with respect. Class Rules of Conduct:

Tutoring here at PUEBLO: For help: M, W, F Before School – G-2 After school – by appointment

Parent Portal (Center) Allows you to see Attendance, Grades, Calendar of Assignments, Email Addresses of Teachers, and Class Schedule. Please check to make sure your information has been entered correctly.

Grade notification: I will need your help by staying actively involved in your child’s education. I will do my part to keep you informed through the use of: Email Phone calls Online grades Grade updates occur weekly.

The Big Finish: Please call, email, or send a note, if you ever have any questions, comments or concerns. Thank you so much for coming!

Wish List We love used pencils, pens, calculators, paper, rulers, boxes of tissues, gift cards to Staples/Target. Used: those old items sitting around in a drawer or cupboard that no one else uses anymore.
