Friday, 3/18/16: Quiz on Coordinate Relationships
No formal work is assigned during the spring break. We will be working on the Pythagorean theorem, Lessons 12-1 to 12-3, when we return. (Students don't yet have those pages, but the material can be accessed online at my.hrw.com . Students should know how to log in, and can explore the student online textbook icon, or student interactive icon.)
Additionally, the week we return, there will be a quiz on translations (Lesson 9-1), reflections (Lesson 9-2), rotations (Lesson 9-3), dilations (Lessons 10-1 & 10-2), and sequences establishing congruence or similarity (Lessons 9-5 and 10-3).
FOR EWMSIMP STUDENTS SEIZING THE TERRIFIC OPPORTUNITY TO PERFORM IN BOSTON:
Cal High distributed their registration materials to students Thursday, 3/17. (I've heard that La Serna's materials have also been mailed out.) The "Course Selection Form" (the blue sheet for Cal High; traditionally Whittier's has been gold in color, and La Serna's pink) and the "Enrollment Form" (parents are enrolling their students into a new school district for next year, the Whittier Union High School District) are due back at the Future Frosh Night (student / parent meeting at the high school) Thursday, 3/31; or if the parents cannot attend, to Cal High's Guidance office the following day, Friday, 4/1. This is while the students are in Boston. We are likely to have the same situation with Whittier High School and La Serna High School.
Accordingly:
For parents not accompanying the trip: they can still attend the 3/31 parent meeting and turn in the two forms that night. Alternately, a relative or family friend can attend and turn in the form. If parents are not chaperoning the Boston trip, then they must take responsibility to return the forms to Cal High's Guidance Office by Friday, 4/1. (The same would apply to Whittier and La Serna, whatever their instructions are.)
For parents who are accompanying the Boston trip or who are otherwise out of town the entire week of 3/28:

For parents who are accompanying the Boston trip or who are otherwise out of town the entire week of 3/28:
- Best scenario: have a relative or family friend turn in the forms for you.
- Alternately, students can give the two forms to Mrs. Carnahan at next Tuesday morning's rehearsal. She will forward the forms to me. I will drive the forms over to the high school the week after spring break, so that they are delivered on time. I am ONLY doing this as a courtesy for parents accompanying the Boston trip or who are otherwise out-of-town the whole week of 3/28. I will not take on the responsibility for any high school forms, EXCEPT in this circumstance.

Thursday, 3/17/16: Preparing for Transformation Coordinate Relationships Quiz
Friday, students are taking a memorization quiz on the algebraic representations of the four types of transformations. Tonight's homework is to study.

Monday, 3/7/16 through Friday, 3/11/16: Going Dark (Parent Conference Week)
Unfortunately, I will not be able to maintain this blog this week, due to an extremely tightly-packed work week with parent conferences. Students have their own assignment sheets and should be recording their homework when I assign it. The posts will resume next Monday, 3/14.
Parents, please note: while I will be available for parent conferences after school Monday, 3/7 through Thursday, 3/10, 1:45 - 3:00 p.m. (signup sheets for 15-minute slots, for the day, will go up after school each day), I regret that I will be unable to meet with any parents after school Friday, March 11. That is because I am teaching an after-school class lasting 75 minutes that Friday. Thank you!

Thursday, 3/3/16: Lesson 9-2 Reflections
We reviewed the entire homework assignment from last night, p.291. While some students struggled with a portion of it last night, today they were able to see that it was actually easy. Kudos to those students who studied the examples and / or did online searches (content and vocabulary), to independently produce correct answers.
Tonight's homework is p.292 (10a,b & 11a,b,c).
