Hello EAGLES,

 

Well, it seems that despite all of the hurdles, we are just about to finish the 2019-2020 school year. It didn't go as we planned but life never does.

Tomorrow, Monday, May 18, is the due date for all assignments.

For those of you that chose the hard-copy route, there are a couple of Drop-Off times scheduled at 11:00am-12:30pm and 5:00pm-6:30pm.

 

I just got through looking at Study Island and there are A LOT of you that seem to have slacked off a bit in your efforts.

PLEASE get finished.

The assignments I made were all review work and pretty short and quick to do.

PLEASE GET FINISHED!!!

 

GOOD NEWS!!!!! ALL OF MY SENIORS HAVE COMPLETED ALL OF THEIR WORK!!!
I hope you have done likewise in your other classes.

 

Keep in contact with your friends and classmates.

Encourage them to finish the year strong.

Support each other and hold each other accountable.

We ARE all in this together and need each other's support.

 

The assignments for the last couple of weeks (for the 6th 6-week grading period) are all based in Study Island.

These assignments have been posted in Study Island for a while.

Some of you have started them and some of you have not. They are as follows:

These will give you eight (8) grades for the 6th 6-weeks.

Please complete these. They will not take much time (you're welcome) unless you put them off.

Remember, an advantage of Study Island assignments is that you can attempt them multiple times to potentially earn a better grade.

 

PLEASE finish the year STRONG!!  I've seen a bit of a last-minute surge (PANIC??) in activity the last few days.  

 

These are in place of the original ATTACHED Word documents that many of you were having difficulty downloading.

You do NOT have to do both the ATTACHED and the ALTERNATE.  You may choose which version.

 

STUDY ISLAND

2e - Simplify Exponent Expressions

2h - Rewrite Expressions

 

They have a DUE DATE of April 27.

Good morning EAGLES!
Not to start off with a downer, but many of you need to step up your efforts in your class work. We are still taking grades. This is not an extended Spring Break or an early Summer. School is still going on. Learning is still our goal. You are still accountable for your assignments whether they are hard copy or online. To confuse things a bit, some of you have switched from hard copy to online and others from online to hard copy. THAT'S OK! It's kinda hard to keep up with, but all of the assignments have been relatively short and can be done pretty quickly.

PLEASE keep up (or CATCH UP) with your work and all of the alerts and announcements you are receiving from Google Classroom, the Avalon website, emails, reminds, ZOOM, etc. It all seems like a lot but it really isn't. It's only a lot if you put it off.

Contact your friends and classmates. Work together, even if it's by phone, text, or email. HELP each other. TEACH each other. Hold each other accountable. ENCOURAGE one another. LISTEN to one another. BE THERE for everyone.

There are two new assignments from Study Island. These are for the "online" students that are having a hard time with the attached "paper" assignments. There has been a variety of issues with them, and I wanted to give you an actual ONLINE opportunity.  I do NOT expect you to do the attached paper assignment AND this ONLINE work.  If you want to, however, because you are bored, please do so.  :)

 

The assignments from Study Island are 2a, and 2b.

 

2a - Add & Subtract Polynomials
2b - Multiply and Divide Polynomials

 

If you chose "hard-copy" and would like to do these too, please do so.

I have created an email group so that I can keep up with everyone better.

This is part of my learning curve. 

I think I have Study Island figured out.

I think I've figured out Group Email.

Next, as some of you have asked, I'm working on learning how to use Google Classroom.

HERE'S YOUR "ASSIGNMENT".

PLEASE!!

THANK YOU!!

 

As some of you have requested, I am creating GOOGLE CLASSROOMS for each of my classes.

 

You have received an email INVITATION to join your class.

 

PLEASE ACCEPT the invitation.

 

Then, as I learn, I will offer assignments, links, and videos to help maintain your math skills.

 

PLEASE SHARE THIS WITH YOUR FRIENDS AND CLASSMATES.  SOME DON'T CHECK THEIR EMAILS OR THE WEBSITE.

We can still learn and make the most of this awkward time.

 

Everyone, 9-12, has the same work.  It's all based on the basic Algebra skill of factoring/reducing/simplifying/cancelling.

 

There are two assignments per week:

 

Week 2: Assignments 1 & 2

Week 3: Assignments 3 & 4

Week 4: Assignments 5 & 6

Week 5: Assignments 7 & 8

 

If you can't print these out, you can copy them on your own paper.

 

No pressure!  Just take the opportunity to relearn this material.

 

During the week, check back to my page.  I'm going to find some YouTube videos related to these topics to help you.

 

Here's one to get you started from MathAntics.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g5ZGDNxJwxA&t=214s 

This guy is pretty good.  And, if any of you find any YouTube videos that helped you, please share them with the rest of us.

 

Next weekend I will provide you the answers for Assignments 1 & 2.

 

ENJOY!!
