Back to Business

Well Fall Break has come and gone and we are back to learning. Unit 1 will finish very soon and we will be moving back to Unit 2 to review or on to Unit 3. From now on each new Unit will have a pre-test so I can assess what you know before you learn it, and each unit will have open response questions to help with writing and with connecting what we are learning to real-world situations. Dracula is also next week(FUN), and we will be going back to the computer lab for another Excel assignment; but this time it will have and open response with it.

Later,

Mr. Reker

Blog for October 11

Hello All,
The tests did not go as well as planned, but we are going to re-review Unit 2 and I am confident that the students will improve with a little extra assistance and time. The students are showing great promise for Unit 1 which will be continued after Fall Break. Make sure that you turn in your Dracula permission slips on time (Friday), it is a wonderful performance that no one should miss. Have a safe and fun Fall Break.

Beginning of October

Hello All,
Welcome to October. The students will be taking the test over Unit 2 this week and I have a good feeling about it. Next week we will go into connections to algebra which should carry past fall break. The students have done well up to date and I hope to carry their good work throughout the year. The students received the Dracula field trip forms today and they must be in by Oct. 12, there are also pictures on Oct. 10.
