Believe it or not we have already come to the end of the first nine weeks. We are off to a great start! The intensity in the math classes will pick up as the material will become more and more challenging. PE will start with an new rotation class. Parents be looking for PE permission slips and Choosing the Best permission slips that will be coming home the Monday we return.

Weekly Update 9/23
Alg 1: We spent most of the week preparing for our test that we took today (test grades are on Infinite Campus). Next week we will to over the test together and make sure we clear up any questions. We will also be starting chapter 3 which will cover equations. We will work on one and two step equations. We will go a little deeper into this concept than we have in the previous years so some of this material will be new. Most of the assignments will be done in class so I can help them with any problems that may come up.
Geometry: We took our chapter test and went over it the first two days of the week (test grades are on Infinite Campus). They rest of the week has been Plan testing and the Career Fair. Next week we will begin chapter 3 working with line pairs and angle pairs. The first part of the chapter will reviewing concepts they have already had so we will move through it rather quickly I hope.
Consumer Math: We spent most of the week working on "Thank You" letters to the staff at FCB for coming and working with us. We reviewed banking concepts and took a quiz over thoses concepts (quiz grades are on Infinite Campus). Next week we will begin doing book work over the concepts FCB talked to us about (writing checks, check registers, credit cards and debit cards).
PE: We didn't get to do much in PE this week due to Plan Testing and the Career Fair that were both held in the gym. Next week is our last week of PE for this group. We will do various activites each day. An Army repersentitive is coming Tuesday to do some activities with us that should be fun!

Weekly Update and Preview
Algebra 1- We moved very quickly through chapter two this week since it was reviewing a concept (integers) that we are pretty comfortable with. We will be doing the chapter review Monday and Tuesday of next week and taking the Chapter 2 Test on Wednesday. The week will end with the introduction to chapter three which involves solving equations.
Geometry - We have completed chapter 1 and done our review. We will take our test next Monday. We will spend Tuesday and Wednesday reviewing and preparing for the Plan test that all 10th graders will be taking on Thursday and Friday of next week.
Consumer Math - We were very fortunate this week to have FCB come to our classroom and introduce us to the banking system. We learned about the history of banks, accounts, loans, and pay checks over a four day period of time. The information was presented very well and I believe will be very beneficial to the students. Next week we will begin putting this new information to work as we begin chapter 10 on banking and investing.
PE - We are down to our final two weeks of PE before this group moves on to their next rotation class. It was good to see some of you at back to school night. As always if you have any questions or concerns please feel free to contact me anytime.

September 8th Update
Alg 1- We completed Chapter 1 this week. Next week we will begin Chapter 2 which discusses Integers and Rational numbers. Most of the material in this chapter will be a review so we will move rather quickly through this chapter.
Geometry- Mrs. Boaz came to meet with our class to discuss Plan scores and too provide information about Falcon Academy classes that Juniors can take. For more information on Falcon Academy contact Mrs. Boaz. We will also miss class tomorrow for our 9/11 program. Due to those two events we are a couple days behind. We will finish up Chapter 1 next week and be really for our Chapter 1 test next Friday.
Consumer Math- We are very excited to have First Community Back come to our classroom next week to discuss banking issues including accounts, mortgages, and interest rates. This will last most of the week and should be very beneficial to us.
PE- We wrapped up our Choosing the Best program this week. Next week we will be back in the gym continuing with PE.

One Month Down
Alg 1- We began working on fuctions and tables this week which is a new concept for the students but they have done very well. Right now we are working on the Chapter 1 review clearing up any questions that we come across. There will be a Chapter 1 test on Wednesday September 8th.
Geometry- This week in geometry we discussed angles and different types of triangles. This has mainly been a review but new material is just around the corner. Next week we will focus on polygons and spend some time on area and perimeter of shapes. By the end of the week we will be ready to start reviewing chapter 1 preparing for our chapter one test sometime around the middle of the following week.
Consumer Math- We have had a very eye opening week in consumer math discussing interest rates, mortgages, and cost of living issues. I am working with First Community Bank organizing a series of lessons where they will come in to our classroom and give us a more in depth view of banking. This will be very beneficial for the students.
PE- We are in the middle of our Choosing the Best Path program conducted by Shay Lock. She is providing some great information. We will finish up this program next Thursday and regular PE will resume the following week.
Have a great Labor Day weekend!!
