as far as completion of homework and whether your student may need some extra help. As al-
ways, I typically arrive at school by 7:35 a.m. and am available during activity period. Students
need to be working outside of class to refine their math skills as we move through the curricu-
lum.

continue to study unit 6 (slope, graphing lines, working with linear functions).

translations.

rule, higher order derivatives, and rates of change.

take us into the next grading period.

bra 2 will be finishing their unit on Matrices.
As the six weeks ends, please look at your student's grades in parent portal. Any zeroes are assignments that need
to be turned in but will be late. Assignments may be corrected for 1/2 credit up to a 75. Tests and Quizzes may be
retaken (after reteaching and review) to be averaged with their original test up to a 75. These tests will need to be
