A rare Thursday post!

Math Expectations:

1. If homework becomes too much of a struggle on a particular night (20 minutes tops!), jot me a note about what you tried to help and send it in with your child. I'll make sure to address the concerns that day and get back with you personally if necessary.

2. Every year, students like to claim that "Mr. Vogel doesn't need us to do that part..." Assume that if it came home - it's assigned. It is usually the more abstract questions that seem to be the root of the problem...but this doesn't make it optional.

3. Most of the time I assign problems from the text book. This should be completed in their Math journals with the page number and problems assigned listed to the left of the margin. Also, they do not need to copy the problems unless it is necessary to complete the work...

4. Speaking of work, it is important for me to see all of their work to arrive at the answer because IF it happens to be incorrect, I can determine why and how to help them.

As for some of the comments on the previous post, below are my responses...

1. We do have a quiz tomorrow, September 11th. It contains the place value concepts we've worked on the last 2 weeks.

2. You do not need to sign the formatives but it is important that they are reviewed with an adult.

Anything else..shoot me an email!.
