WEEKLY AGENDA for the Week of September 23, 2013
Hello Mustang Parents,
We are steadily moving having reached our first Progress Report. Please make sure to check the comments for tutorial suggestions as well as a need for parent conference. I have already begun the process of calling parents and arranging times for conferences. Please know your child’s success is the utmost importance to me.
This week in mathematics class we will be doing the following:
Monday (9/23/13) Decimal Operations HW: Measuring Up p. 12
Tuesday (9/24/13) Decimal Operations HW: What Did the Caveman Actor Use to Keep Cool?” Wednesday (9/25/13) Decimal Operations

Upcoming ConceptsFraction and Integer Operations
Notes:- Please remind your student to bring his/her notebook and pencil to class every day.- Please encourage your student to do and turn-in all assignments on time.
Special Announcements:
Complete and turn in all assignments upon their due date. Be mindful of classroom, hallway, and cafeteria behavior. Put forth full effort EVERYDAY!!! Students may not go to the restroom 10 minutes after or 10 minutes before the bell. Once
instruction has begun, I would like to keep the emphasis on active learning. Therefore, restroom needs will be obligatory to be taken care of during the 5-minute passing break.
o Test 1-1 RETAKES FOR GT will be held Tuesday, September 24th from 4-5 pm after school. If your mustang needs or wants to pull up their grade, please allow them to come. They must get a pass from me during class to attend that afternoon.
o PROGRESSIVE TESTING - This is your child’s opportunity to improve their test grade. When we administer the next test, a percentage of that test will cover the previously taught material and the rest will be new information. If the result from the previously taught material is higher than the previous test, it will replace that score.
o Tutorials for Washington are Tuesdays from 4-5 pm. At this time transportation is not provided by the school.
o Tutorials for Coach Crowder and Ford are Tuesday and Thursday mornings at 8:15-8:45
o Students must always wear their student IDs at school.o Lake Olympia is collecting Box Tops. Please check food items (i.e. Hamburger Helper,
cereal) and school supplies, cut them out, then bring them in. They are worth two (2) points per box top.
o Progress Report #1 ended Friday, September 20th. Make sure to check with your child to ensure all assignments are turned in.
o Please help us celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month which began September 15th with this Hispanic Mathematician.
o Víctor Neumann-Lara - Mexican mathematician, pioneer in the field of graph theory in Mexico. His work also covers general topology, game theory and combinatorics.

Parent ResourceParents if you have an Excellent resource please share it with me and I will add it to the Parent Agenda. I need the website address to share with other parents. Thanks in advance.
Math Goodies http://mathgoodies.com/Free math help portal featuring interactive lessons, worksheets, and homework help. They also have CDs for sale so be careful not to click on these links. The free lessons, worksheets and homework are a great resource.
Study Tip
Ask your mustang how they can apply what they are learning in the classroom to their experience in the real world. For instance, how would they apply and use order of operations at the grocery store.
Online Technology at the OEdmodo is the new tool at Lake O to communicate with your child about what is going on in the classroom. I will post the weekly agenda on this site as a third option to have it in addition to the school website and email through Skyward. It is my desire to meet virtually once a week to give your mustang a chance to ask questions about the homework or to clear up ideas from the lesson.
Each class has two codes – individual and group, so please have your child join both.
