Sorry its been a while, things have been very busy. If there are any parent volunteers out there who what to upload the homework to this site it may become more useful to everyone.
This is the last week of the quarter and your students I'm sure are feeling stressed. There will be very few new assignments in my math classes so students can get caught up on the material. I will be giving a final in IMP 3/4 and will probably give a makeup test to IMP 2/3 and IMP 2.
In advising all students have to have passed the Constitution Quiz, completed a PLP form or two and have a working portfolio at this point. Next quarter we will be working harder on having set things in our portfolio like syllabi, framework, transcripts and PLP documentations.
The Internship Program is also going well. In order to pass this quarter students must have done one of two things: 1. setup an internship, turned in a contact sheet and a resume or 2. participated fully in classes/trips and turned in a resume. For students with more than 15 hours of service they need to be turning in their midway reports.
In 3D art our pieces are just about finished, our clay pieces still need to be glazed but hopefully we get to that this week.

5/2
There's only a few classes left. I will be giving final exams to determine if students should be going on to the next level of math. MS students are required to take the test and any student who has less than a B average throughout the year. Students who have an A or a B average will still take the exam but the exam will not limit their ability to move to the next level. If students wish to demonstrate there knowledge in alternative fashion please talk with me soon so we can make arrangements.
Advising: Please turn in your ILP forms and continue to work on your framework.
IMP 1: Your POW 10 is due. You are expected to turn in all of your research as well.
IMP 2: HW 16 and 17 are due.
IMP 3: Simon presented Modular Math, Brandon and Solomon did an introduction to Ballistics and I will hold a Ballistics lab on Monday. Joey's presentation is past due, and Jim will present hexi-decimals.
In all of my classes please be putting together your portfolios. They will be due on the last day of classes.

2/24
Sixth graders are scheduled to do their Math and Reading test this next Friday and next Tuesday. Those who wish to do both in one are a welcome to otherwise they may split the testing into 2 sections. Not ever student will test, some will do two and some will only take the Reading or the Math.
IMP 1- The big assignment so far is POW 10. At this point student should have found a job and an apartment. They are also suppose to be talking with their parents about making a budget for their money. They have to take into account bills, take home pay vs. hourly pay, food, etc.
There was also a worksheet on planning out a road trip and dividing those costs.
IMP 2- The tessellation POW was due early this week. I assigned homework 17 for tonight and we did "triangles are boring" in class. HW 16 and 15 are past due.
IMP 3- Simon presented a lesson on Modular Arithmetic today, Jeff presented rotating functions using integrals to find volumes. Each night I assigned a WS involving the graphs of derivatives and anti-derivatives.
Fibers- We learned how to Felt this week! Forget the soap wars.

State Testing:
I've been out sick lately; I'm sorry for the inconvenience. State testing will resume on Tuesday with the testing of 7th, 8th and 10th graders. So far the 10th graders have finished the math section and the 8th graders have finished the Reading. 6th graders may be tested on Friday.
Finals:
As this quarter draws to a close students who are wondering if they should go to the next level in math should come talk to me. Generally speaking if HS students have had a B average throughout the year they should continue on to the next class. HS students who have not maintained a B average and all MS students will be given the opportunity to take a Final that will determine if they should continue on.
IMP 1
- the Pizza worksheet was due last week
- A POW that involved budgeting will be due in approximately one week.
- A WS on a Road trip was handed out today
IMP 2
- Your Tessellation POWs were due this week on the 21st and 22nd. If you were planning on taking the test instead please see me.
- HW on finding the altitude of a triangle HW #14 and 15 are due.
- A WS on Pythagoreans Theorem and SOHCAHTOA are being assigned this week
IMP 3
-A worksheet on interpreting f(x) given a graph of the derivative is due this week
-student lessons begin on Tuesday with Alex's rotation of lines around axis using integrals. Followed by Joey's lesson on Greek letters in math.
Fibers
- Please be working on the class quilt
- We will be doing a felting demonstration this week.
