What's Going On? December 19th through December 22nd

Class Kick Session: Sunday, December 18th from 1pm-2pm
In preparation for Monday's Unit 6 Summative Assessment on Polygons and Quadrilaterals, I will be offering a Class Kick session where students can get some extra help on our review assignment.  After taking a poll of students, the majority of the vast majority of students voted to hold our session on Sunday, December 18th from 1pm-2pm.  The class code is KWP 3OF.  Even if you cannot join our official session, I encourage students to still use the Class Kick app as there are embedded videos explaining each problem.  Also, if students get stuck, have a question, or need me to check a question they can "raise a hand" or ask me to "please check" and I can leave feedback.  I will do my best to check in with Class Kick a few times over the weekend.  Please also note that the answer key for our review assignment is posted on BlackBoard.  Happy studying!

School Schedule for the Week
Since this is a four day week leading up to our winter break, our schedule will look a little different.  We will not run a traditional "Monday Schedule".  Instead, we will run our typical "Tuesday schedule" on Monday, our "Wednesday schedule" on Tuesday, our "Thursday schedule" on Wednesday and our "Friday schedule" on Thursday.  We will also have a modified schedule on Thursday with a pep assembly at the end of the day.



Honors Geometry Schedule for the Week
We will start the week by completing our Unit 6 Summative Assessment on Polygons and Quadrilaterals.  This assessment will cover our 3c learning target on solving for missing measurements and our 2c learning target on proving theorems about quadrilaterals.  

I will not be in class on Tuesday, but on this day students will spend some time reviewing how to write equations of lines.  This is a topic that students have struggled with in the past and it is definitely something students will need to know as they progress on to Honors Algebra 2 and future math classes.  On our last day of class for the week, we will go through our unit 6 summative assessment results and review any problems with which students continue to struggle.

Winter Break
Winter break is Friday, December 23rd through January 2nd.  School will resume on Tuesday, January 3rd.  I hope everyone enjoys this break and has time to relax and spend time with family and friends!  Stay warm!
