I've been teaching for a long time so you would think that I would catch on!  I look at my plan book and realize that there is less time than I expected remaining in the school year!  I have sooooo much enjoyed your children--wish I could teach them every year!  We will be working hard right up to the final bell trying to get in as much as possible, emphasizing those skills found on ACT.  I would love to hear the results of their scores--share with me on FB if you will. 

It is hard to believe but we are on the final stretch!  I am really enjoying your children-they are a delight to teach.  We are continuing in Chapter 8 and it will require some studying.  As always, I encourage you to check grades regularly and let's not let anyone get behind!

"We are beginning the last quarter of the academic year and have a lot ahead of us in geometry.  Please encourage your student to keep up and work hard and not succumb to 'spring fever".  I am truly enjoying your children and love each and every one of them!

It's PI DAY!   The geometry class is looking  forward to celebrating with a variety of sweets!  I am glad I leave after first period.  Tomorrow is our 9-weeks test.  We have reviewed the material and they seemed confident.  The remainder of the week will be spent working on 8-4. 

  I really missed my freshman last week----I am glad they are all back safely and thawed out !!    We only have 3 weeks left in this quarter!  We will be working hard-there is a lot we need to cover but I have every confidence that this class can do it!  I encourage you to check grades regularly on ACHIEVE.

This week we will complete Chapter 7 and have our chapter test.  Please check your student's grades regularly on ACHIEVE and contact me if you have a question.

We will be working toward a test late this week on the first half of chapter 7  Most students are are doing well but we need to continue to encourage them to study and keep up.

January is disappearing quickly!  We are working in chapter 7 and I anticipate a vocab quiz on Friday.   If your student is having  difficulty, please encourage them to study nightly and NOT wait for test night to begin studying.  Also, there are lots of students in this class who could "tutor" those who are having a hard time.  Let's not let this get ahead of us--we want to maintain those good grades!

Well, the end of Christmas break brought us some serious winter temperatures!  I was so glad to see my students and hear their tales of Christmas.  I was also amazed and delighted when their review took little time to do--they remembered so much of what I thought would have been covered with holiday activity!  We are moving on in chapter 6.  I am aware that this is basketball season and, to the best of my ability, will adjust our work accordingly.  However, I rely on parents to keep students aware of the importance of keeping up--this has not been an issue so far and I really do not look for it to be a problem.  Thank you for sharing your wonderful children with me!
