Honors Geometry and Honors Algebra I
Honors Geometry and Honors Algebra I are high school classes, so your student is earning high school credit this year. In order to receive the high school credit, your child must maintain a 70% or higher class average or your child will repeat this course next year in 9th grade. Please be aware of your child's work completion for homework and study habits.
For the 4th 9 weeks assessments will be completed at home using student's resources. Students may ask me for help on these assessments. They will have from 10-14 days to work on each assessment. Please see my calendars below for the name and program that each assessment is in. Students may not turn these in late as they are predated assignments. The only assessment students must study for and complete in class is the Formula Quiz on Friday, April 29. There is a link to the Quizlet I made with the formulas your child needs to know for the EOC that the state does not put on their reference sheet. Students should be independently studying for this quiz.
The End Of Course Exam is 30% of their final grade. The EOC is scheduled for May 11 and May 12. Please be sure that your child is present at school, is well rested and that he/she has a good breakfast!
I have tutoring available (days and times listed below).
Also, students have a weekly extra credit opportunity in ALEKS (Please see link below). I am creating weekly assignments that are based on the previous week's skills or skills from previous chapters. ALEKS is a great opportunity for your child to further practice and apply what he/she is learning.

EXTRA CREDIT for the weeks of April 25, May 2, and May 9!
This will be the "Check Your Understanding" questions (5 points each) and "Test Yourself" questions (10 points each). Students should choose sections and topics for this that they feel they need more practice to be successful. They may not receive extra credit from doing the same "Check Your Understanding" or "Test Yourself" if they already received the extra credit from a previous week.
Go Buffalo!
