Back to school night is Tuesday. I hope you can make it. I'll kick-off the evening with a short survey. You can take it in advance here. I will also post the slides I go over here if you can't make it. Thanks for stopping by!
I am really excited about this school year - I see so much potential in our students! This is where you can find out what we are learning in class. Please also check out the resources tab.

Hello and thanks for stopping by! I hope you have been able to see google classroom updates of your student's work and progress through the email notifications. If not, please check your email and let me know if you are having trouble. Another tool that we use frequently is goformative.com. Please feel free to ask your student to show you and explain their work from class on google classroom or on goformative.com. Progress reports will be mailed out towards the end of next week, but grades are available at any time through powerschool. Many students have done quiz corrections to raise their grade for the "Freezing in Fargo" quiz, and I hope to have them in the gradebook by Sunday. Fall conferences are coming up at the end of the month and are required for any student that has a D or an F in any classes. If you would like to meet with teachers remember you may always request a conference at any time. Please check out what we've been up to in class in the pictures below: 1.) Please take this short survey (on the ipad)
2.) Get ready for a "fun" quiz on the class syllabus: - Go to next tab kahoot.it - Wait to enter the class code - Enter an appropriate nickname 3.) Video on how to use the online textbook resources 4.) Tips on how to help your child succeed in math - Praise for hard work and learning from mistakes NOT for grades - Never give away an answer (Say, "I'm not sure, can you prove it another way?" - If you notice something important your student is missing, ask them, "what do you notice about this problem?" If they don't see it, direct them to it. - Ask questions: "What makes this problem challenging? Why did you do this step? How is this problem different from the one you did in class? How is this problem similar to the one you did in class? Can we make this problem easier? What have you tried so far? - Look at their math work, ask questions if it is unclear: "Why did you multiply these two numbers, what does this number represent?Can you show me what you meant here?" 5.) Opportunities to Help Please have a seat anywhere. Grab a chromebook so we can vote for class mosts.
1.) Start thinking about what categories you would like to have. You can check out my list from last year to get you started. Please don't start voting because I will be updating the form first. 2.) If you would like support over the summer working on math concepts you are still confused with OR if you would like to participate in fun/interesting weekly math problems with your RHMS classmates please join the google classroom with the code: mvv16m If you've been absent or missed some classwork you can look through this folder for Lessons #18 - 21 - https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B5oEAZDcRdJhLU1uejFsano5b3M&usp=sharing
