Guiding Phrase

Ms. Perlman has asked that we think about an appropriate "guiding phrase" for our school.

A "guiding phrase" is a short phrase (3-7 words) that describes our school and our learning goals. Think about what MPE means to you. Talk about this with your classmates, your friends, and parents.

Please post your suggestions to our class blog, and remember to use your initials to identify yourself.

Thank you

How I spent my summer vacation ...

My summer was extremely busy and not at all relaxing. I worked on math activities for school, finished another semester of graduate school, and created some new technology projects for our class. Meg and I did go to the beach for a day - she loves splashing in the waves and digging in the sand. My friend from Texas came to visit, and we played golf for a week in Auburn, Alabama. 

What did you do this summer?
