There has been a lot of great thinking happening in our first week of 5th grade math. We're looking forward to a year of challenges that will stretch our brains! #happynest

Our 7th grade accelerated math class is off to a great start deciphering and extending patterns as well as writing expressions to model the patterns. We're loving our new @desmosclassroom Algebra 1 program. #happynest #21learns

We had a little leftover time after state testing today and I love the class portrait drawn by Krystal and Morgan! If you look closely, they even included my HMS spirit wear. Week 1 done!

Our 8th grade class is in the middle of a competitive game of Connect 4. Can't wait to see if we have a winner tomorrow!

@ddmeyer What a fun, engaging, and soul-filling workshop today! Exactly what we (educators) are needing right now. Thanks for a great day!

There's nothing better than a game of Prime Climb on a Friday!

Our math groups are loving working together on the tale of the Kingdom of Montarek and comparing all of the different plans. What a great start to learning about exponential relationships! #happynest @connectedmath

Our brain break today was a little time to play and connect with peers! Sometimes #itsthelittlethings that make the difference.

Week 1 of Math Boot Camp concluded on Friday with students presenting an analysis of the data collected from their surveys. Many students became fans of box plots, but more than anything, they enjoyed learning together! Looking forward to week 2 on probability! #21learns

Had such a fun Friday afternoon at our Step It Up celebration! The students did a great job from the prepping of the strawberry parfaits through the clean up. #happynest

Last week Holmes students spread some positivity into the universe! 1000 kindness sleeves were delivered to Starbucks on Wolf and Strong. Did you get one?? #21learns

My favorite part of Saturday mornings is a.m.@holmes. Seeing so many students excited to spend their morning with us is a great feeling! Student choices were basketball, cupcakes, slime, friendship bracelets, pinatas, and more. It's such a #happynest this morning!

Battle of the minds! Thanks to Mr. Budrow & Mr. Wagner for joining us at Chess Club after school today! In the next few weeks we'll be learning some new strategies and beginning our tournament. #happynest #21learns

Couldn't ask for a better Saturday morning! Our a.m.@holmes program kicked off this week with lots of cooking, crafts, sports, and games! Looking forward to November 9 already! #happynest

After coming to consensus on what makes us happy when working in groups, groups took on the challenge of The Unstoppable Blob. Although many students have chosen to continue their work over the weekend, they're off to a great start! #happynest

[HMS Accelerated Math @HolmesAccelMath]

What a great first week back at @ccsd21holmes! We began by tackling The Airplane Riddle then reflected on which math practice standards were evident in our work. There were many, but we agreed perseverance was key! #happynest

[HMS Accelerated Math @HolmesAccelMath]

Happy last day of school, @ccsd21holmes! Math carnival game day! Shout out to our 7th graders for creating these masterpieces! #happynest #d21learns
