12/29/11

There appears to be confusion on grading. Allow me to clarify.

PLAS employs a 40-40-20 system on grades. First nine weeks = 40 % , Second nine weeks = 40 % and semester final exams = 20 %. The only grade that appears on the college transcript is the average of these three grades.

We will walk through an example. Student X makes an 80 on the first nine weeks grade , an 83 on the second nine weeks grade and a 73 on the final exam. The overall average would be 79.8 rounded up to 80. The only grade showing on the college transcript would be the 80 average.

We will be back January 3 to answer any further questions that need clarifying. Teacher e mail accounts are only accessible through the school mainframe so any individual replies may not occur until 1/3/12.

Wednesday, December 7, 2011

12/7/11

Seventy years ago today America was pushed into one of the ugliest conflicts mankind has ever known. May we never forget the sacrifice of the men and women who give us the freedom we enjoy.

Day One of Final Exams Review. Still a considerable amount of make up work to be done. No time like the present to do so, and with no new material being covered it is a good opportunity.

Tuesday, December 6, 2011

12/6/11

Geometry has the final test given in 2011. Everyone else begins reviews either today or tomorrow.

PLAS vs. Lee-Scott home games begin today at 4:00. Come support the Patriots !

Friday, December 2, 2011

12/2/11

Friday at last ! Hooray !

Algebra II students might get accused of government overthrow today. They take a test on RADICALS ( square roots , cube roots , etc. ) ! Geometry and Calculus finish up next week as we repare for Final Exams.

Thursday, December 1, 2011

12/1/11

Wow. 12 = 1 + 11. What a cool date to write shorthand :)

PLAS Christmas is here ! Today and tomorrow in the cafetorium.

Precalculus - your day is today. Algebra II - tomorrow and Wednesday. Geometry - Tuesday. Caculus - yesterday. That is the test synopsis of the week.

Careful outside. Plenty of frost to go around for everyone.

Everyone was informed of the plans for the next two weeks yesterday. Exam schedules will be out soon.

Monday, November 28, 2011

11/28/11

Three weeks left to Christmas Break. The only thing that gets crazier than the malls at this time of year are the students/teachers/administration . Always a sprint to the finish.

Algebra II - Test this week - probably moved up a day to Thursday - maybe Friday at the very latest. Imaginary number test next week preceeding Finals Review.

Geometry - Test next Tuesday on chapter 6 - Finals Review after that.

Calculus - Test next Tuesday on chapter  5 - Finals review after that.

Precalculus - Test on polynomial functions this week - test next week on exponents/logarithms/inverses. Finals Review after that.

Everybody has plenty to do. Time to get some things accomplished and enjoy the Reason for the Season.

Friday, November 18, 2011

11/18/11

I was out of school yesterday attending a funeral. My apologies for not posting.

Friday. AISA playoffs at Troy University. Last day before a major holiday. Chaos will be the rule rather than the exception. Should be interesting :)

When we get back on November 28th the real fun will begin. Two weeks and then Final Exams. Make up work will continue to be at a premium.

Wednesday, November 16, 2011

11/16/11

The last of the tests for this week are done. Now to get caught up on the make up work. First one thing then another. Always busy here at PLAS :)

Thanksgiving Break in two days - then a mad two week sprint to Final Exams. Keep praying and stay the course.

Tuesday, November 15, 2011

11/15/11

Happy Tuesday everyone. Very foggy outside. Be careful coming in to school.

Hopefully we see the last of the factoring tests in Algebra II today. Geometry has a test on chapter 5 before moving on to chapter 6. Precalculus enjoys the wonders of polynomial graphing and Calculus reviews basic algebra applications. Enough fun to go all the way around.

Monday, November 14, 2011

11/14/11

Hope everyone had a good three day week end. Thanksgiving Break is Friday. I think we are all ready.

After the break we will have two weeks of classes before Final Exams for first semester. Make up work as always is a critical aspect of getting grades in and there is a significant amount of it that needs to be done.

Algebra II and Geometry have the joy of tests this week. Precalculus and Calculus get to wait until we get back from break.

Thursday, November 10, 2011

11/10/11

Happy Veteran's Day tomorrow. We will not be here so I had to get it in early.

Algebra II and Geometry will be the lucky ones having tests on Tuesday. Precalculus and Calculus have no tests next week.

Wednesday, November 9, 2011

11/9/11

Missed my post yesterday. Tests tend to do that but no excuses. My fault.

Algebra will continue to enjoy the wonderful world of factoring. Geometry is heading toward a Chapter 5 on Tuesday and Precalculus moves on into polynomial function graphs. Calculus begins applications of polynomial function graphing as well.

Veteran's Day Assembly today. School is out Friday as we thank the men and women who prove daily that FREEDOM IS NEVER FREE.

Monday, November 7, 2011

11/7/11

Monday morning and my computer is acting more like H.A.L. than it should. That is a reference to 2001:A Space Odyssey for those of you who weren't alive when the movie was made.

Veteran's Day is Friday and we will be out of school. Next Friday the 18th will be our last day before Thanksgiving Break. Resume classes on Monday November 28th.

Make up work is to be done before school ONLY due to obligations I have after school. I try to be here no later than 7:00 a.m. any given morning.

Friday, November 4, 2011

11/4/11

Oops. Must not have hit " send " on yesterday's post. My apologies.

Friday at last. Two weeks to Thanksgiving and four weeks to finals. It will be a mad sprint from here on in.
Tests Tuesday in Precalculus, Calculus and Algebra II. Fun fun fun :)

Wednesday, November 2, 2011

11/2/11

Welcome to Wednesday. Ought to be interesting but then again all days at PLAS are.

Algebra II will continue to enjoy the wonderful world of factoring. Geometry cannot wait until their next opportunity to write proofs while Precalculus favors synthetic division and zeroes of functions and Calculus goes Back to The Future with quadratic equations, factoring and imaginary numbers. Some days it truly feels like I should be giving credits for both mathematics and a foreign language at the same time.

Tuesday, November 1, 2011

11/1/11

Wow that was a wierd date to input. We won't be here on Veteran's Day for the ultimate date for binary fans - 11/11/11 :)

Tests today in Algebra II and Geometry. Next week we will get Precalculus and Calculus.

A proud father has to get one in occasionally. Congratulations to Jaylan Reynolds for making the AISA West All-Star Team. The game is this Saturday in Birmingham at Kingwood. Might have to yell Roll Tide down the interstate seeing as a football game is the same day.

Monday, October 31, 2011

10/31/11

Good morning. Might be a bit cool outside. Dress appropriately.

Tests tomorrow in Algebra II and Geometry. Precalculus and Calculus have this week off from tests but look for one next week.

Three weeks until Thanksgiving. Really ? Christmas Break will be here before we know it.

Friday, October 28, 2011

10/28/11

Good morning ! Friday ! Enough said.

Tests Tuesday in Algebra II and Geometry. The review process will begin today and go through Monday. Hard to believe we have six weeks left before exams. Time sure flies.

Thursday, October 27, 2011

If you have any of these problems please return the shirt. Please put the shirt in a bag with a note that has the child's name and homeroom teacher. The bags need to dropped off in the office with Mrs. Trecy. Please don't hesitate to send your DEFECTIVE shirt back. The PTO wants you to be satisfied with your purchase and we will gladly replace the shirt for you. Thank you for your patience and understanding regarding this issue.

   ( Spiral notebooks are STRONGLY STRONGLY discouraged).

A calculator  with scientific functions such as sine , cosine ,etc.
   ( Wal- Mart has an entire display of some that run from $ 8.44  to about  $ 13 in price. I would NOT recommend spending more without being sure that it can be used on the ACT or other standardized tests ).

You will receive a syllabus as well as an assignment list on the first day. They will give you a good idea of what to expect. I look forward to seeing you all next week.
