The new lessons we are working on in Applied Math - when I said "A ratio is a fraction" I saw many of you shut down. Fractions are part of the real world so don't shut down, open your minds and try hard to understand them. Don't forget when you come to class on Thursday your Activity 50 Worksheet is due.
Students in Digitools need to start taking the opportunity to get extra credit points by turning in any work that they have typed for another class - more information is posted all over class. Also don't forget to re-submit or redo assignments that you have turned in for a higher grade - you only have a week to resubmit. Digitools 9 - you have until the 29th to finish all Chapter 5 work and any redo's. Check the box for graded papers.
Well I think we have beat percentages down now it is time to move on to Ratios/Proportions - the worksheet for that Chapter will be due on Monday so parents be watching for homework. Students don't forget you can redo your Review Worksheets (I put in the grade box this morning) by 11/22. Everyone who didn't get an 80% on the percentage test come in ASAP and take the test so you don't forget.
Started working on the Websites about me - stay tuned for the release of those sites :)
Student's got registered for the 10 different college credits they can get for earning a B or better this semester and next in Digitools 9 - That is a huge saving think
I am always in my classroom after school (unless I have a meeting) until at least 3:30. I usually get to school around 7:45am. I keep my room open during lunch as well. Students who need help or extra time need to take these opportunities to work. I will open the lab on Tuesday November 16th from 3:05 - 4:00pm for any student. I will be in a meeting but the lab will be open.
Test scores were not good again so we are doing a review out of a book I found over Percentages - then the students need to come back in and retake the tests. Remember I expect an 80% on test to say you passed it, not just a D. I am taking suggestions on how to get students to remember things better when it comes to basic math.
Digital Media finished up the project today (having a little trouble with video download) and they did a good job. Now it is just wait time till Jan 1st when the VOTING starts. Don't forget register at refresheverything.com so you can vote. We are going to start our Personal Web Pages on Tuesday - they will have one week and should be fun and informational.
Started the day off with a bang in Digitools 9 with a quiz over Chapter 5 - the students did okay most were between 5 - 6 correct out of 7. They didn't know the parts of the business letter so that is something to study. The ones who didn't do well either didn't read or didn't follow directions. Still working on their Chapter 5 - a updated Submit list printed today and only still have 3 e-mails. Remember it is [email protected] and you will get a reply back with your grade. Another quiz on Wednesday and Friday hoping for better scores.
Yeah we are done with the boring typing lessons in the book and have moved on to Letters and Memos (next week) :) We still have to practice good keyboarding skills though so we have the 30 Lessons on line to complete by the end
