Planner
There will be lessons, activities, application problems, or testing every day. Homework will be assigned almost every day, but there will be NO TIME TO DO HOMEWORK IN CLASS. Therefore, take your book home, and leave it there until the end of the year. Homework will not be assigned the day before a test. Your assignments on those nights will be to study. If you feel you need extra help, please let me know. I am available Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays after school for tutoring. I can also pair you up with someone from the Math Team to get one-on-one tutoring.
