I'm Back (:

After a 2 weeks off, where I was sick most of the time ):, I am back.  You online lessons will continue and I will be getting your grade book up to date by Thursday of this week.  If you have an immediate concern with your grade, you may stop by and I can work with you on that.  Lets keep putting in the time to be successful!

Last Week Off

There is one more week where I will be off for paternity leave.  I have already posted all of the lessons and videos for this week online.

Algebra:  You are starting Chapter 3.  Your videos can be found here:

Geometry:  You will be starting Chapter 3 after your test on Wednesday on Chapter 2.  Your new videos can be found here:

Remember to find the help that you need.  If you don't understand a concept, it makes no sense to keep that to yourself (and it certainly won't help your grade).  Please use the resources that are there for you.

Parent Teacher Conferences

I would like to thank all of the parents (and students) that came to parent teacher conferences!  Even though I wasn't feeling the best, I wanted to meet all of you because you are the most important person in your child's success in school.  Please continue to be positive role models for your kids and continue to have high expectations for them because their future success depends on it.

If you were not at parent conferences, and I have not had a chance to call and introduce myself, please know that I will be calling home again starting the week I return (Oct 18th).  As I stress everyday in class, as well as at conferences, my focus is at least 10 years from now for your kids.  What I mean by that is, I am here to help with your child's success and so I will do my best to help develop a great work ethic in your kids as well as a sense of what education is all about, so that when they meet ANY challenge, they have the tools and resources to meet it.

Parents, please contact me at any time via email or phone if you have any questions, concerns, or suggestions so that we may make your child's education as successful as possible.

Paternity Leave

This is just a reminder that I am on Paternity leave from Oct 4th through Oct 15th.

You will have the same substitute for the 2 week time period.  During this time, if you need help with any of the concepts covered in class, it is your responsibility to ask someone, be it another math teacher, friend, or adult.  Please take the time before, after, or during school to get the help that you need.

I will continue to post online video lessons even though I am not there to teach you in person.  Please use these videos to supplement your learning during this 2 week period.
