Monday's Homework

Sorry it's a day late

Monday's Geometry Homework

Sorry it's a day late

Wed 8/24 HW

Decide on your personal "motto" or motivational quote and make the mini-poster on a regular sheet of computer paper to go in your binder. If you forgot to get the syllabus sheet signed, don't forget this is the only time that you will have the opportunity to turn something in late in my class (because I really need that paper).

Tuesday's assignments

The Student Interest Questionnaire was completed by most in class (I said you could finish tonight if needed) and the Student Information Sheet is to be filled out and signed by your parent or guardian. Don't forget to look over the syllabus before signing.

Monday's HW

If you did not finish the iSpace activity in class, you should have finished it for homework and turned it in today. I will offer a one-time grace period this first week for assignments, but I won't accept late work after this week.

**All classes-Pretest

All classes will be completing a prerequisite skills test of the skills I feel they should have to be successful in class. It will count as a participation grade only. The only calculators that may be used will be provided in class.

All Classes** Quiz Thursday

There will be an open notes quiz (use your syllabus) on my classroom procedures Thursday 8/25. It will be the first quiz grade of the year.

Welcome Back!

I want to wish all my new and returning students a very warm welcome back!  Parents, I'm looking forward to working with you this year to ensure that your student is successful in my class and in school in general.  This blog is new to me so please bear with me as I figure out all the ins and outs of it; but, I envision that it will be a great tool for communicating upcoming assignments, tests, events, and happenings in the classroom this year.  I look forward to a great year and hopefully a great blog too!
