March 25th - March 29th
IN CLASS... Last week in class, students explored a lot of geometry vocabulary and used it to build knowledge of how to prove congruency and determine corresponding parts. There were a couple of field trips last week that interrupted learning time; therefore, this week we will spend some time investigating a little more of congruence, including triangle congruence. We will also study transversals and parallel lines and angles formed by them. Students will have a short quiz on Monday regarding what they have learned up to this point, but will also have a take home quiz on Wednesday of this week covering triangle congruence. Students should expect homework everyday this week except Friday. Please note that this will be a very busy week for students seeing that we are trying to squeeze in TNReady Practice testing on computers. Please encourage your student to do their homework so that there is as little lapse in instructional time as possible. ******************** We will continue to use the IXL platform and Khan Academy Modules (Class Code: ZB54J85S) to complete homework assignments. I also have computers available in class during the day in case students finish early or want to come complete the assignments during their PLT, if approved by their teacher. ******************** MAP TUTORING HOURS Wednesday Mornings: 8:00am - 8:40am NEW HOMEWORK POLICY: Any unfinished class work will be sent home to finish that evening and return completed the following school day. Actual homework completion is encouraged nightly; however, homework is due each Friday. Nightly completion helps prepare students for homework quizzes as well. If a student is struggling with a concept, I may assign some extra practice for mastery if requested by a parent. Students have been stressed regarding the amount of time spent on homework, therefore, parents, if your child is spending more than 30 minutes on homework, encourage them to stop. I find that other than a little homework a night, there is more to life than homework!
