Mrs. Hemme

Welcome to my math and science class!  My goal on a daily basis is to make my students enjoy what they are learning. I encourage lots of questions, classroom discussion, and hands-on activities.  I love when my class is excited about what they are learning. 

A successful math and science class requires my students to listen attentively, work together in groups, share their mathematical and scientific thinking, and respect the ideas of others.  My classroom provides a rich and exciting environment that will prepare students for the next level and help them make connections between their classwork and the world around them.

Language arts class has a three-fold goal striving to comply with state standards.  We read for enjoyment and to increase comprehension in a variety of genres using novels and a Glencoe textbook, Reading With a Purpose. Sadler Vocabulary Workshop is the basis for a weekly spelling and vocabulary lesson. 

To improve writing skills, we have an assortment of writing assignments where we aim for creativity and use of proper grammar using both cursive writing and computer skills. Homework is on the lighter side depending on the day and individual student time management.

My classroom provides a rich and exciting environment that will prepare students for the next level and help them make connections between their classwork and the world around them. Math homework is assigned daily, but students are provided ample class time to finish. Any work that is not completed will need to be taken home and returned the next day.
