A New Beginning…
September 5, 2010 | | 72 Comments
Our first three weeks was a huge success! I know it was a big adjustment for many students coming into the middle school and having to deal with 6 teachers, all those books, papers to get signed and all the rules. From my point of view it was just as scary. I had to meet and greet 125 new students that all have different personalities, needs and wants. Not to mention how smart you all are.
The lockers did give us a challenge but most of you have already mastered this skill. This year I was very successful at securing our class set of books. Thank you to the 32 students who volunteered to use the online textbook.
So what did you think about how your first 3 weeks of 6th grade? Would you like to share how it went?

Ms. Ionno,
I was wondering if you got jipped out of Christmas gifts when you were a kid since your birthday is the day after Christmas??
LOL

Yes, I did and still do get gypped. But I am used to it by now.
Hi Mrs. Ionno. I like your blog! I found out your birthday is December 26th and thanks for the extra credit! See you in class!

Hi Ms Ionno,
I am also looking forward to a great year! I am very happy that you are my teacher and I am sure that I will learn a lot of new things. Your birthday is December 26! Happy Birthday in advance!
Hi Mrs. Ionno. I just love your blog, I think it is great that you are so technologically advanced and that you are sharing it with your students! I too have a blog that you can check out if you have time! I love the computer like you and I love crafting so I’ve combined the two to make something I love! My blog is http://www.ohsocutebylisa.blogspot.com
Brooke and I are looking forward to a great year! Please e-mail me if you have any concerns!
Thanks,
Lisa G.

Actually just month and day were enough. I really don’t want to be reminded how old I am getting but thanks for a reality check.
Your birthday is Dec 26.
Sixth grade is off to a good start and will present
many new opportunites for learning. Coming from a background
in technology and communications, we are glad that
you are integrating technology with the academic
curriculum and keeping parents informed.
Adam wanted to let you know that he found your birthday–
December 26! Looking forward to a great year!
Thanks,

Kelee…I am conflicted. Who gets the extra credit points? You or Adam. How about we split them 5 for you and 5 for him?
Your birthday is December 26, 1947
I got this at intelius.com

Well, intelius.com is wrong. You should have just read the blog “All About Me” page to find out my birthday.

hi mrs. ionno great website can’t wait to learn more from you!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi Ms Ionno,
This is Matias. Your Blog is really cool. It is a good way to communicate and to keep things moving. Your birthday is shown in “ALL ABOUT MS IONNO” as December 26th. I could not find the year though. I guess you want to keep your age a secret.
Moving to Duncan was a big leap and I was a little scared at first. By now I think I am getting the rhythm of the new schedule.
See you on Tuesday
hey Ms. Ionno
I think your blog is so cool!!!!!
I heard you were giving extra points if we could guess your age.
I did the math and I am making a guess!
Are you……. 59?!?
Ms. Ionno’s birthday is on December 26, and she was born in New Jersey. Have an awesome labor day weekend!:)

Cool blog, Ms. Ionno. I know your birthday, it’s December 26th, but you won’t tell us the year!LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL
Thank you for sharing. The site is very informative. This one is new too me, therefore, I do not know how to create a web site or link. If you have any suggestions or instructions, I will create a link and/or website.
The first three weeks were quick and forced Dimitri and I to work more efficiently. It was overwhelming for Dimitri at first but with my encouragement, he was able to relax and get through it.
Thank you for keeping us all abreast of what is happening in our world….the world of Math.
Ms. Ionno,
the first three weeks were a bit overwhelming for Dimitri and for me. Maybe it was because he was now in Middle School or more in reference to the information you provided above. However, once we got into the swing of things, as the 3 weeks came to a close, I think I can say now with ease that “we” will be okay.
Even though we are still trying to stay on track, the calendar that you have provided is extremely useful.
We will do all we can to continue to support you as an edcator. We appreciate you and hope the rest of your year goes extremely well.
MD Hightower-Penick,
Dimitri’s Mother
My first 3 weeks went by fast. There were so many things to remember and do. Ms. Ionno’s birthday is on December 26. Its cool to have your birthday in December because its near Christmas and you get extra presents.
Read your blog and think this year in math is going to be awesome! I know your birthday is December 26th, that is such a special coincidence as my Grandma Alice also shares your birthday!
Sophia and I enjoyed your blog. your bday is 12/26 and our favorite food is Italian as well. Sophia tends to struggle with math, but we are going to try and stay on top of everything this year. I like how you have all those puzzles and learning tools on edline. Sophia will make sure she uses them to help her understand all the math concepts. I have always used edline to follow my daughters progress but if you feel Sophia is falling behind or doesn’t understand something, please let me know asap, as she rarely asks for help on her own.
Thanks,
Heidi V.

Your birthday is on December 26. I have enjoyed this new school so far, but it is obviously more work than previous years. I think it is very different with more teachers. But, I am sure that it will be a great year!

Hello Ms Ionno,
Your blog is really cool. It is a good way to communicate and keep things moving. Your birthday is on December 26th; I found it in “ALL ABOUT MS IONNO”. I couldn’t find the year, so I guess you want to keep it a secret:-).
I’ve been enjoying my first three weeks of school and I like Duncan a whole lot. I also like how much technology you have like this blog and the remotes in the class.
See you tomorrow.

Hi Mrs. Ionno!
So far, 6th grade has been chaotic. While most people have learned to cope, I have completly abandoned my locker. LOL! I am glad there is a fun subject to look forward to at the end of the school day. I will also look forward to wishing you a happy birthday on December 26.
My first 3 weeks of 6th grade were fun and exciting. I have been waiting all summer to start at Watson B. Duncan Middle!
I’m looking forward to the rest of the year, but I’m sorry we won’t be in school on December 26th (your Birthday) because we will be out on winter break.
It’s great to have a class blog!!!

Soory Ms. Ionno My mom forgot we saved your website under favorites. I’m a little late with the response I JUST got home from swim practice. Your birthday is December 26. See you Friday!
Hi Ms. Ionno. I am enjoying middle school so far. It’s going a lot smoother than I thought. I really like your math class and I’m glad you have this website. I see that your birthday is the day after Christmas on December 26, mine is the day before Halloween! See you Friday. Chandler S.
Hi Ms. Ionno. Middle school is going great so far. I have really good teachers, including you. Your birthday is the day after Christmas on December 26, is it hard having a birthday the day after such a big holiday? Chandler and I were born the day before Halloween and we have celebrated at Halloween parties plenty of times! I look forward to your next post. Spencer S.
Advanced Math is better than I thought,but it’s not as easy as elementary school
