Learning Upgrade

I just want to make sure that each student and parent is aware that they have access to Learning Upgrade at home via the internet.  Each student has their username and password and if for some reason they have misplaced this information, I can email it to you!  Please use this learning tool.

Extra Credit/Practice

On Friday we will have our chapter 8 test and students need to be studying exponents.  In my previous post, I provided a great source for learning those rules - although in their composition books they have notes and examples as well.  In addition though, I think it would be beneficial for students to go to the following link http://www.classzone.com/cz/books/ml_alg_1_ca/book_home.htm?state=CA and on the right is a section called Assessment.  Students can take section quizzes (there are 6) and if they get a 90% or more I will give them 5 points extra credit.  This site also provides practice through games.  Finally, if they go to learning upgrade they can practice Exponent Rules and earn a gold ribbon.

PLEASE study!!

Happy New Year!

As of tomorrow, we will have 69 days of purpose!  That means 69 school days until the STAR test.  We are in 3rd quarter and we will be working sooooo hard.  I would like to welcome all my new students.  I hope that your adjustment is easy and you enjoy the class.  I will begin posting homework on this site starting next week.  We are doing a lot of review and have been completing most assignments in class.

 Sincerely,
Mrs. T
