Physics - is having a quiz/exam today over chapter 2 and part of 3 in the book. We will be starting the rest of chapter 3 tomorrow.
Algebra 1 - has a test over all of chapter 2 on Friday! Tutoring sessions are up and running, if you notice that your son/daughter is not doing well please have them attend the Free tutoring. This is a great way for students to be able to redo a quiz or exam. So far not many students have been coming (and academically need to based on their current grades).

Update: Week 7
Hello to all,
Algebra 1 - took a quiz on tuesday and I was less than excited about the quiz grades. We are in the begining of the year and have not gotten into the more difficult chapters. We have covered adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing rational number which include decimals, frations, integers (both positive and negative) and have come to find that some of ours students rely only on their calculators to do simple math functions. We are going to be reviewing on friday for a retake that I am going to give on Monday during the class period. This retake will not replace their original score, if they would like to take the retake on Friday then each student would need to come to 3 tutoring sessions between today and next Friday.
Calculators - we are now in a section where calculators are imparitive to have. All that is needed is a scientific calculator, that does roots and basic functions.
Physics - did a lab today, we have nice enough weather that we were able to shoot off the rockets on the football field and make some time and distance measurements. Because of the nice weather we had to postpone the quiz that physics was supposed to take on Friday to next week.
Have a great week!

Update: Week 6
Hello,
Physics - Chapter 2 exams will be passed back on Thursday, I am still waiting on a handful of people to make-up the exam. Progress reports will be out this week, unfortunately last week’s exam, lab and review will not be on it as I have not had a chance to correct them. We are moving into Unit 3 this week which is one of the most difficult units that we cover (in my opinion). I am incorporating Ch 2, 3, & 6 into this unit; we will be having quizzes after each of these chapters.
Algebra 1- We start chapter 2 this week. I am planning on a quiz of 2.1, 2.3, and 2.6 next Monday. If there are any questions please feel free to email me or leave a comment.
Sincerely,
Mrs. S

Update: Week 5
Hello to everyone following my newsletter,
Algebra 1 - This week we are having our Chapter 1 exam, which will consist of at least 50 questions that are multiple choice, t/f, and matching. We are making our unit test like this to get our students ready for the MME/ACT math exam and our Algebra 1 Midterm and Final Exam. Tutoring is up and running and the schedule is as follows:
PM (2:45 -3:15 pm)
Tuesday - Mrs. Samouelian's Room (D-7)
Thursday - Mr. Marzec's Room (C-1)
AM (7:00 - 7:30 am)
Wednesday - Mrs. Samouelian's Room (D-7)
Friday - Mr. Dehaan / Mrs. Balogh's Room (B - 4)
Students that need extra help with reviewing should attend these tutoring sessions. I will get the CH 1 exam graded over the weekend and allow the students to retake the exam if they come to at least 2 sessions of tutoring next week (Week #6). The retake will be on Friday Oct 16th either before or after school.
Physics - We are going to be finishing up the Vector Unit this week, also with an exam on Friday. If students are at all confused about finding resultant vectors (either by using the component method or the scale method) they need to come in before or after school and get some extra help. Grades as always are a work in progress, please keep in mind that Physics is a difficult class to grade homework, especially with all the math and partial credit. I will let you know via my blog and the students when the grades are updated.
Sincerely,
Mrs. S
