Congratulations!

Many of you have completed your final AP Calculus assignment – great job, and great job graduates! I enjoyed hearing and seeing how much all of you had learned about calculus in your videos – I’m really proud of you. If you haven’t completed it yet, please do so as soon as possible. For those of you who are Juniors, I’ll be posting some weekly assignments for you to do over the next couple of weeks.

Week of 5/11

Wow, how did it get to be the 2nd week of May already? Time is both inching by as I shelter in place, but then sometimes it seems to have flown by. It has been nearly 2 months since we were last in the classroom – I am missing our daily interactions.

This week, for those of you who did not view them before, we will be watching videos about slope fields. This is a topic we did not get to do in the classroom as it was from the last chapter. You will then do an activity in Desmos. Please make sure that you log in with your Google account when you do the activity so you can go back and make corrections once I give you feedback.

Your final project for class will be given next week. I will be giving you a choice of free response questions to complete as a video explaining your work, so I can hear your lovely voices one last time before the end of the year.

Keep focused – you are in the home stretch!

Week of 5/4

Good Morning Calculus students (and parents). For those taking the exam, we are in the home stretch – you should have received a call from me yesterday. Please reach out if you have questions or concerns about the exam next week.

I have continued to focus on content review to help those students who are taking the exam. Please keep up with watching the videos – they are part of your grade. You must have a 75% in both lessons (the videos) and the assignments (free response questions). For seniors, there are only TWO more weeks after this week – so keep up the energy, you’re almost there!

Please check Google Classroom for all of your current assignments – videos are due on Friday, assignments are due on Monday. I always accept late work with no penalty, but I truly appreciate all of you who are getting their work in on time.

Peace, blessings, and health to everyone, and Ramadan Mubarak to those observing Ramadan this month.

Week of 4/20

Please see Google Classroom for the assignments for the week. On Tuesday, there will be two interactive lessons posted. If you have questions, I will be available between 12-2, please use the Google Meet link in the Google Classroom. You must complete both of the interactive video lessons.

After you watch the lesson, there will be 3 free response questions to do. Please do them in the Google Doc or on paper, snap a picture and upload. I will then give you feedback on your assignment.

Assignments are due the following Monday. If you have any questions about the new grading policy, please send me an email or contact me through Google Classroom (or my Google Voice number provided in the email).

Week of April 13th

Please see Google Classroom for specific assignments. If you have not done so, please respond as to whether you are taking the AP test (which is now scheduled for May 12th). This week, finish watching the videos on Differential Equations and do the 3 Free Response Questions related to differential equations that are posted in Google Classroom.

Week of March 29th

We will continue using the College Board videos to learn about unit 7 – Differential Equations. This Friday College Board will be announcing the formats of the tests and when they will be given. Based on the survey they asked me to take, it looks like it will be mid to late May. Make sure to contact me if you are without technology for the test – College Board is trying to figure out ways to help out those who want to take the test but don’t have the connectivity. Stay healthy!

Wednesday, March 25th

Please make sure that you check out the video from College Board today – they are starting the review for the AP Test – this is also the material that we had not gotten to in class – so it is important for you to know! Here is the link to the video (available starting at 2:00 pm):

Week of 3/23

Hello everyone! Hope you are surviving your first day where you are officially being asked to shelter in place. I have heard from some of you, but not all of you, about whether you are taking the AP test. Please check Google Classroom and take the survey. If you are having trouble with the work, please drop in for a Google Meet during office hours. If you have not been able to do work, I hope that you will be able to soon, there are many of you that I haven’t heard from. I will be posting assignments each day and using the AP Review (starting tomorrow) to help those of you studying for the AP test.

Happy Friday

I hope that all of you are staying healthy. I have gotten some assignments back, keep up the learning! I will be holding office hours regularly now: MWF at 2:00, T-TH at 10:00. If I am unavailable, I will post something in Google Classroom. I will be putting something together to let you know your options for the AP test (for those of you who are signed up). Have a great weekend!

Monday, March 16th

If you have not completed the 4 assignments in College Board, please do so by the end of today. Tomorrow, I will be introducing Differential Equations. I will be doing a live presentation in Google Meet from 2:00 – 3:00, please make sure that you have on your phone or can find on your computer. I will also be making a video for those who cannot be there at the time. Please check your email daily for the work you need to get done.
