Week of 2/7

It is great to be back at school after two snow days! I changed the quiz that was originally set for Thursday 2/3 to be a take home quiz. I told the students they are to work on it alone, no help from friends, siblings or parents. They are able to use their notes and a calculator.

During the week of 2/7 students are invited to participate in Pack the Place spirit days
Wednesday- Gold Day- and Pack the Place!
Thursday- Pattern Day
Friday- Wacky Hair Day

Monday 2/14 Tu-Tu Monday
Tuesday 2/15 Green Day- and Pack the Place

This week in Course 2 we will be solving inequalities and learning about functions.

In Pre-Algebra we will be finishing up chapter 7. The students will have a quiz on Thursday then begin reviewing for their test on 2/14.
