Updated 2/6/12 2:43 PM
WELCOME TO Algebra I!!! I HOPE YOU WALK IN WITH AN OPEN MIND READY TO LEARN,
BECAUSE ALGEBRA IS THE BASIS FOR ALL FUTURE MATHS AND IS CRUCIAL TO YOUR
SUCCESS NOT ONLY IN THOSE CLASSES, BUT YOUR FUTURE, AS WELL. I AM LOOKING
FORWARD TO A SUCCESSFUL YEAR WITH ALL OF YOU. LET ME KNOW WHAT I CAN DO TO
HELP YOU GROW AND LEARN IN A POSITIVE ATMOSPHERE.
FYI - A Quiz over the previous day's material will be given for every
lesson. This means that you will have a quiz everyday EXCEPT for the day of
a test and the day after a test. You will have HOMEWORK EVERY NIGHT. There
should be no excuse to forget your Algebra binder as we meet everyday of the
week (extenuating circumstances not withstanding).
GO WARRIORS!!!
