As we are not allowed to give tests during this time and we did not have sufficient time to offer a complete "test correction" window, I thought it fair to drop Math 8 students' lowest test grade.
This gives them two tests for Semester 2, the same number of tests as the Algebra classes.
On Tuesday, April 14, I began posting math work in the students' original Google Classroom.
Math assignments completed will improve a student's grade.
They must be fully completed - there is no partial credit allowed to be given based on the grade book setup.
If students and families chose not to do the math assignments, grades will not be negatively impacted.
Math, a lot like a foreign language, has a tendency to dissipate from our brain if we don't use it frequently or at all. Completing the math work assigned will ensure that students maintain and even increase their math skills as we get close to summer and a formal time off before you begin high school
On Tuesday, April 14, I began hosting "office hours" Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday to answer questions and help students with math.
MATH 8 will be from 2:30pm to 3:00pm
ALGEBRA will be from 3:05pm to 3:30pm

I'm sorry to say, but it has now been determined that we will NOT return to the school site this school year.
All MUSD campuses will be closed until at least June 19, which is clearly well into the summer for the students.

UPDATED on 3.30.20
Week 3 of our closure is here. Hopefully everyone will have access to online learning by week's end.
Next week is "Spring Break" (seems out of place for another 'break' to me, but this is our schedule). After Spring Break (Tuesday, April 14) teachers will have more flexibility in our approach to content. For example ...
I will be able to introduce new content to students, not just review material.
I will have the opportunity to post lessons and/or meet with the classes virtually via Zoom or Google Meet.
I may have the opportunity to post "scores" re the work we are doing to keep parents involved in completion and participation.
I will be closing the temporary Google Classroom that is currently being used and asking students to return to their original Google Classroom to find all work and communications there.
I will continue to place optional work at Google Classroom for Week 3 of our closure, similar to what you saw this week.
MUSD at the District level is working every day to fine tune their approach to this closure, so please review any information they may send out.
As done in Weeks 1 and 2 of the closure, I will continue to host ongoing math curriculum for Math 8 and Algebra students.
All math related materials that will be posted are optional enrichment activities and NOT formal, graded assignments.
There will be no grades attached. All I can offer is the opportunity to learn and practice standards.
This work is designed to continue the progress of learning our math standards in the best way I know how while we are away. I am open to suggestions for improvement.
I will have to "farm out" the math video lessons until I acquire the proper equipment and programs at home to digitally instruct. This may take some time.
Math 8 students who wish to participate, please go to Google Classroom and add class code: zjczv5x
Please also go to Khan Academy and add a new class code under "Teachers" and "Join a class": X9N87TVZ
Algebra students who wish to participate, please go to Google Classroom and add class code: awkhif3
Please also go to Khan Academy and add a new class code under "Teachers" and "Join a class": V92WZ3VV
New math materials will be posted each weekday morning on or about 8:00am.

Our first week of closure has ended and a big, "Thank you!" to those who were willing to do the work as an opportunity to learn and continue to review material we have learned.
Math, a lot like a foreign language, has a tendency to dissipate from our brain if we don't use it frequently or at all. The work you are doing will ensure that you stay sharp and math-alert as we get close to summer and a formal time off before you begin high school.

ONLY 9 school weeks remain until SBAC Testing begins.
We will have covered all of the material needed to be successful and then some.
We will begin course review for the SBAC after Easter Break.
ALL students have the opportunity to improve the test grade for the Week 23 Test.
Math 8 can reclaim points lost on a test (see Google Classroom 2.29.20).
Algebra can retake a test of similar content and rigor and the test scores will be averaged.
Both are explained clearly in class and info is available @ Google Classroom on specific days.
MATH 8 tests have a recovery feature once all students have completed it.
Students have received their test back and know which problems they missed.
They will have an opportunity to re-do the missed problems in a particular format for up to 1/2 the points that they missed on the test problem.
For example, if Pat gets a 60% on the test, there are 40 missing points; up to 20 of those points can be reclaimed with some extra work and due diligence.
This will be well be advertised in class repeatedly with a definitive deadline to get the work submitted.
The deadline for this opportunity is Friday, March 13.
COURSE MASTERY: Students are welcome to work on their Course Mastery in Khan Academy.
Students can trade in a Course Mastery percentage (of their choosing) for any math test grade.
There will be no dropped tests in Semester 2, so this may be a good, long-term option for many students.
I am encouraging them to set a long-term goals and this is one that will take perseverance and consistent work, but can be achieved by anyone willing to put in the time.
See Google Classroom 11.16.19 for more details.
ALL students have been introduced to and added to GOOGLE CLASSROOM and KHAN ACADEMY.
Parents and all family are welcome to join Google Classroom and/or Remind at any time.

DREAMBOX is running for all students. This will serve as our main source of math review. Students will a minimum number of lessons to be completed week to week (Sunday through Friday).
Students will have class time to work on DreamBox each week, as well.
We will learn a great deal of math this year and have some fun along the way.
I only have two requirements:
1) Courtesy
2) Do work
Everything else is negotiable.
Five math teachers will be available during both first and second lunch each week to students who need to use computers, have math questions, need extra help, or have work to finish in any class.
