1.) Our 8th Timed Mult. Test was taken. If absent, make sure that you REMEMBER to come to me on the first chance we, both, are available, to make it up.

2.) D.E.A.R. (By the way, will you have completed the count of at least 7 books by the end of this Semester, as I understand is required?)

3.) In 4th pd.: We checked and collected last night's p. 15 from the Workbook. If absent, make sure it is completed and in my hands next time we see each other.

PW/HW: a) Review/Practice/Study for this Tuesday's QUIZ,which is over sections 21- through 2-5. Use Glencoe.com, your Notes, and the Odd #ed problems in each section to Practice!! (**Don't forget that the answers to the odds are in the back of the textbook.) REMEMBER: REPETITION is the only way to make things "stick!"

b) Keep practicing your mult. tables. Time as well as memorization could be worked on a little EVERY day, even if it is the week-end. [Your brain does not stop working just because it is the week-end (ha! ha!)]

Have a nice week-end. It is to be pretty. This will help cheer the poor ole' Tennessee fans up when they leave the Stadium/T. V. Set w/ long, sad faces! GO DAWGS!!

1.) I collected the 2-sided WSheet that was assigned yesterday by the Substitute (and was to be completed last night at home). THANKS to you who were well-behaved as your parents and I expect. If you chose to act in a way that created a reason for you to sign the Infraction Book today, please think about the situation and the inadequate decision(s) you made yesterday and discuss it all w/ your parents. Y'all are such a GREAT group of students that I have been blessed w/ this year and I want you to turn out to be even more awesome!!

2.) WBook pg. 14 from last Friday (problems 1 - 28) was checked and collected. If you did not turn it in, please have it ready to be given to me tomorrow. I don't want any of you to lose pts. off of a nice grade just because you forgot it!

3.) I returned/re-collected last Friday's Timed Mult. Test. Please, for the sake of MEMORIZATION, PRACTICE EVERY NIGHT for about 10-15 minutes. Have a family member quiz you on the facts, but use a friend/relative to help you w/ the timing. An egg-timer is a great assistant if no one is available to keep an eye on the clock.

4.) Our Ch. 2 QUIZ over the first 5 sections of notes is scheduled for one week from today, Tues., 10-11-05. Be practicing problems throughout each of the sections for recall and memorization. Odd-numbered problems are a great assistance since their answers are in the back of the textbook.

**REMEMBER: TOMORROW is an EARLY RELEASE DAY!

Have a nice evening!
