I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: Bring Your Calculator!

No:

• It cannot have communication capabilities (no cell phones, iPods)
• It cannot store information (cell phones, iPods, graphing calculators)
• It must be yours (no sharing)

Yes:

• If you buy a cheap calculator, I will keep it in a drawer for you (put your name on it)
• These are the same rules I’ve been talking about all along… (and I’m losing my voice)

Click here if you don’t know when to bring it or why I’m reminding you again. (hint: Thursday)

Also: Some people are still not using the four steps (GUES) taught in class. I put a URL on the last two quizzes for some people. As of now, nobody has followed that link. Don’t expect me to keep giving partial credit if you are not going to try what I ask of you.

As of Sunday afternoon, Monday looks like it’s going to be in the low 30’s first & second period and the 40’s for the rest of the classes. Click here for the latest weather forecast.

Are you ready for the Naked Egg Performance Assessment tomorrow?

Don’t forget to bring your calculator for tomorrow’s quiz! Remeber: It cannot be a graphing calculator or any calculator that makes noise or can store information! (No iPods, No Cell Phones…) Calculators may not be shared either!

As usual, I will keep a cheap calculator in the room for you if you bring one. Only you can prevent forest fires can use it.

Yes, if you have an abacus you may use it on the quiz. Don’t ask me for help on how to use it – I’ve never used one. (slide rules ok too, but same rule)

Thank you all for being patient with the crazy scheduling of the EOCT checkpoint.

Everything is going smoothly now. Check out the updated class calendar now. (changes given verbally in class)
