The Prodigal Son has returned. Actually my blog has been acting up and would not let me in. My apologies.

Nine Weeks Test Schedule is as follows :

Tuesday March 6th will be 4th and 7th period classes.
Wednesday March 7th will be 1st and 5th period classes.
Thursday March 8th will be 2nd and 6th period classes.
Friday March 9th will be 3rd period classes.

The goal is to have report cards in the mail in two weeks and recieved before Spring Break, which will be March 26th - March 30th this year.

Good wins by both baseball ( V and JV ) and softball ( V and JV ) yesterday. Soccer lost 2-1 but will continue to improve as the season wears on. Golf had a good showing in their tournament as well.

Friday. School week wrap up and the beginning of a weekend :)

Precalculus will be he only class that tests next week.
Everyone else gets a well-deserved week off to catch collective breath before :

   **** NINE WEEKS TESTS ****

Is it that time already ? Where does the time go ?

2/16/12

Rain rain rain. Spring sports and rain do not get along well.

Algebra II gets to move on to rational expressions and equations.
Geometry leaves Trig Land and moves on to dilations, rotational symmetry, etc.
Calculus reviews conic sections the remainder of the week and on into next week.
Precalculus has all the fun - trig identities - and will stay on them into next week.

Highly unlikely anyone has a test next week - good opportunity to get caught up.
Quizzes likely to abound :)

Correction. Baseball NO HIT Glenwood on Monday !

Soccer team ! PLAS 10 Morgan Academy 0 ! Cole LaBrant with 3 , Jack LaBrant with and Rodney Griffin with 2 , Luke Labrant + Garrett Herring + Baylor Barnes each had one. Kyle Boswell with the shutout. Nice start to the week for the Patriots !

Algebra II gets to go round and round today with a conic sections test.
Geometry will try to run stop Sines ( and Cosines ) on their test.
Calculus got their vector Victor. Moving on to chapter 10.
Precalculus is seeking Bourne ( or trig ) identities.

2/14/12

Happy Valentine's Day everyone. I got my present early - High School Math Team finished second at district competition , Luke LaBrant was the high scorer in the entire district and Middle Scool Math team won district. Great job Patriots ! Oh and baseball beat Glenwood 6 - 0 !!!

Reviews for almost everyone today. Geometry and Algebra II for sure. Calculus may need an extra day and Precalculus starts on trigonometric identities.

2/13/12

Math Team Competition today @ SMCA. I'll be out today so leave a message if I need to contact you please. Have a great day !

2/10/12

Friday :) Wrap up the week and prepare for next week.

Algebra II - second day on ellipses. Test next week on distance, midpoints, cirles, parabolas and ellipses.
Geometry - wrap up day on Law of Sines and Law of Cosines. Test next week.
Calculus - close out on vectors. Test next week.
Precalculus - close out on trigonometry. On to trig identities next week.

2/9/12

FCS Thursday. Senior Who's Who pictures. The activities continue to abound.

Law of Sines went well yesterday - Law of Cosines today , review Friday and Monday - test Tuesday for Geometry. They seem to be really getting into trigonometry and that will help.
Algebra II goes over ellipses today and tomorrow. Review Monday and test Tuesday.
Calculus vectors some more with a test late next week most likely.
Precalculus finishes up chapter 5 today and tomorrow and plunges into an identity crisis Monday. Trig identities are never fun.

2/8/12

Wednesday means we're halfway there. It also makes it a good night to go to church :)

The rest of the week is downhill. Algebra II continues parabolas , circles and ellipses.
Geometry finds out about Law of Sines and Law of Cosines over the next two days.
Calculus continues to vector their way toward graduation.
Precalculus wraps up chapter 5 this week and moves on.

2/7/12

Geometry and Precalculus have all the fun this week in terms of tests. Algebra II and Calculus get to wait until next week.

First baseball game is Monday vs. Glenwood at Troy University's field. Soccer's first match is next Tuesday at the Troy Recreation Center. Come support the Patriots !

2/6/12

Good Monday morning everyone !

Math team competition will be next Monday February 13th which means lots of work left for my substitute to keep the students busy.

Algebra II and Calculus had a test last week - their next test will be next week.
Geometry and Precalculus review today for a test tomorrow.

2/3/12

Spring sports are officially underway. Baseball , golf , soccer and softball teams are all practiing already and schedules are posted. Most everyone has a first game or match coming up within the next two weeks. Pick a couple or three to support and Go Patriots !

2/2/12

Foggy Thursday everyone. Please be careful coming into or around town.

Every class will be playing a bit of catch up to get on track going into next week. The update for this week has been slow in coming and I accept that responsibility. I will have one in to Edline soon.

2/1/12

346 !!!! The sophomores reached their goal and beyond. CLASS OF 2014 !!!!

Good day to catch up missing assignments today for those of us who stay in Troy. Everyone please travel safely.
