Hello, students and families!


This Tuesday, September 29 and Thursday, October 1, 2020, We will be attending the (virtual) YWCA Racial Justice Summit with nine other educators from our Velma Hamilton Middle School Community. We are looking forward to bringing our learning back to the VHMS community, and our classes this year.


Therefore, the classes we teach for your child will not be held on Zoom in live meetings on Tuesday and Thursday. Instead, students can access all of the materials for Tuesday and Thursday in their google classroom. We have included videos to explain the content within the assignments. Students will be working independently on coursework they are familiar with. We will be available to answer any questions from students via email throughout the day. 


PLEASE use our hyperdoc to help you through your day as we have made changes on it.


If you are in Math 6 with Kruger/Welch, go to the live zoom link on hyperdoc. Ms Welch will teach class on Tuesday and Thursday.


Thank you for your understanding and flexibility. We are grateful for your partnership this school year. Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions!

 Hello! Hope this finds you well. As always- please reach out if you need anything from us! (Shelly's number 608-501-3133).

We will be working in teams and look at the following questions:  Date and Place of existence What did they look like? Did they have shelters?   If so, describe them. What type of food did they eat? Were they hunters or gatherers or both? What tools did they make? Did they use or make fire? Did they have religious or other types of  ceremonies?         9. Did they have oral or written language? Students will then need to convince the class their Hominid group is the most capable! In Language Arts we are working on CER (Claim, Evidence, Reasoning). We have two short stories; Eleven and Fish Cheeks, that we will use to write a claim, find evidence from the text, and explain your reasoning.

Start of Quarter 2!

Happy November! Quarter 2 started today so students should have one or two classes that switch for 7th OR 8th hour. Report cards will be finalized on Wednesday, so they are subject to change up until then. Here is quick video to watch regarding the new report cards. In Social Studies, we shifted last week to analyzing campaign ads, looking at who gets to vote and why, learning about the electoral college, and uncover our values that may lead to who you may vote for. Next week, we will learn about the shift from hunters and gathering to farmers. During this unit, students will learn how to take Cornell notes. If possible, please print out a few copies of the Cornell Note template found in your email as it will help students next Monday. If you want some note templates dropped off, please let me know. Students can also use a notebook and set up their notes using the Cornell style.  In ELA, we have switched to a book unit. Students chose a fiction book they are reading while we discus...
