Mo has left the building

(the title reference is to the t.v. show Frasier, by the way)

Just a heads-up that I am GONE: away from telephones, internet, and any sort of modern contact until Sunday evening, August 3.  If you send me an email I won't be able to get to it until then. 

If you are studying for the pre-algebra test, you should be IN chapter 6 by now.  If you are not, you should consider yourself behind ... well behind.  Remember that you want to pass this test with clear understanding, not haphazard stabs at these skills.  It is critical that you are competent and capable of keeping up with the students who had pre-algebra last year; algebra class is not the time to be learning algebra skills. 
*Quizlet is good practice, but if you have not asked me for acceptance yet, then you'll have to wait out this week.  Directions for how to get into Quizlet are on the Mo'help tab of this blog.
*Practice Test keys are on the Pre-Algebra tab of this blog.  I would essentially consider those practice tests as required.
*Like terms (add, subtract, multiply, divide, solving inequalities, equation busting) are ALL non-negotiable skill sets.  Pretty much, everything outlined in the pre-algebra letter is non-negotiable as a skill set ... missing one or two with an arithmetic error is understandable, but you will need to show your work so Mr. Jeff can see that you understood what you were doing every step of the way.

Make sure you RSVP to Jeff regarding the pre-algebra test date (see right), although he is gone with us on vacation so he won't get back to you for the week either. 

If you have Enrichment questions, please see the blog post directly before this one.  A copy of everything is there, but at this point you are on the "as classes are available" list.  Just FYI.

Alright, I'm off to paradise!  Hopefully I will read a lot of books, see a lot of sunshine, and play a lot of games with my family well into the wee hours of the mornings.
All the best,
Mo ;-)

Fall Enrichment!

Although it's the middle of summer, it's time for me to begin scheduling your classes for the coming fall trimester!  PLEASE note the July 23 deadline for getting  your information back to the office.  Anyone turning in their materials late will be scheduled into enrichment classes that are not already full.  Please also note:

*Mr. Campbell will not be offering the Teaching Elementary Students class until the winter trimester.

*Band and strings are year-long commitments; choir is per trimester.  There is also a choir practice after school one day a week.

*I'm fielding questions via email, so please ask!

Here is the link to the Enrichment Catalog for 2014.

Here is a copy of the Enrichment request form, but do note that I prefer the colored copy you received via snail mail.

If you NEED to, you can email me a copy of your enrichment form.  

*Note that NEED is boldfaced to stress the importance of the defnition of that word.  In this case, NEED means things like you are out-of-town until after the 23rd or you don't know how to use snail mail and you cannot drive in your form.  

Happy selecting!

Mo ;-)
