Math
Students will be covering up to mod 2 lesson 9 on Wed. After lesson 9 we have a quiz and quiz corrections. This is subject to change but for now it is the plan.
I have created mailboxes for each class. Each student has a folder where I put all graded work. Every Monday I print out missing assignment sheets so that students always know what they need to complete for me. I also keep all missing assignments in a bin at the front of the room. Students can get what they are missing any time that I am not giving whole class instruction. Please remind your student to check their mailbox.
All of the lessons notes will be added to schoology as we finish each lesson. If you or your student have any questions please email me at brittneylittrel@usd475.org and I will do my best to answer questions in a timely manner, also if your student is confused with one problem have them circle it and ask about it in class the next day. I hope you all have a great week =).
