Happy Memorial Day!
"Give Honor and Respect to all those to whom it is due." - Romans 13:7
Please be working steadily on your Review Packets. Don't wait until the last
minute to start it. 20 minutes a night is much better than 4 hours the night
before your exam!
--------------------------------------------------

WELCOME TO MAY! About a month left! Don't stop working yet. Finish the
year
on a positive!
I have had some issues with my homework pages again this week. I anticipate
that they will be resolved by this evening. As always, if you have any
questions, please send me an email at poleary@paulvi.net Thanks.

HAVE A BLESSED EASTER and a RELAXING and SAFE BREAK!!!
ATTENTION!! Algebra 2 students. I am passing out a worksheet today that is
due the Wednesday after break. If you were not in school to receive it,
please send me an email, and I will send you an electronic copy. Thank you.
----------------------------------------------------
Monday, April 6, 2009
Good morning. Last short week before break. My homework page has been
updated. However, I may change the homework for later in the week. Please
verify the homework in class, as usual. Thanks.
------------------------------------------------------
Tuesday, March 24, 2009
Good morning. My Homework websites are updated. If you have any questions,
please let me know. Thanks.
------------------------------------------------------

ATTENTION!
==========
I continue to have difficulties with my Homework pages. Over the next couple
days, I plan to roll out new homework pages, to replace the old homework
pages. In the meantime, PLEASE write down the assignments when given in
class. If you have any questions, please email me. Thanks!
------------------------------------------------------
Tuesday, March 10,
I continue to have minor issues with the Homework page, but I think that it
is updated properly for this week. As always, if you have any questions,
please email me at poleary@paulvi.net
Don't forget about Jr. Math League on Wednesday, the 11th. It can mean a
number of points being added to Test scores. In fact, a number of my Algebra
2 students will have 16 points added to a 3rd Quarter Test score, thanks to
Jr. Math League.
To follow this up, those of you that have attended Jr. Math League may see
your online test scores change. Again, if you have any questions, please let
me
know.
Thanks and God Bless.
===================================================

ATTENTION! Due to the snow day, the short schedules on Tuesday and Thursday,
and drops, it will be a strange week in my classes. Additionally, I continue
to have issues with my homework page. So please, MAKE SURE THAT YOU COPY
DOWN THE HOMEWORK IN CLASS! Feel free to send me an email if you have any
questions - I try to check my email around 9PM each night, but I don't always
make it.
Thanks and God Bless.
====================================================

ATTENTION!!
I have been having difficulties with the TeacherWeb Homework Page. Please
make sure that you get the homework in class. I will get the page updated as
soon as possible. Thank you.
====================================================
Monday, February 9, 2009
Hello, parents and students. By now, you should have received instructions
about signing in to see your (student's) grades. Please remember that this
was a short Interim period and that we also had a number of snow days, and
other short days. As a result, the grades will only include 2 quizzes, one
test and homework.
If you have any questions, please send me an email. Thanks.
======================================================
Thursday, January 22
Algebra 2 students! The quiz tomorrow will only include Solution word
problems, in addition to sections 6.1 to 6.3. Let me know if you have any
questions.
======================================================
Wednesday, January 14, 2009
Don't forget Junior Math League on Thursday afternoon, the 15th.
I will be unavailable on Thursday after school, to help out at JML.
======================================================
Monday, January 5, 2009
Welcome Back! 2 weeks left in the Quarter.
======================================================
Monday, December 1st, 2008.
Welcome back from Thanksgiving Break! We have just 2 weeks until Midterm
Exams. Make sure that you are working on the Review Packets. We will spend
at least two full days reviewing for the exam, so make sure that you come
prepared with any questions. Working a little bit every day from now until
then will be much more beneficial than cramming the night before your exam!
NOTE: A student pointed out a problem with no correct answer available on
the Algebra 2 review packet. There may be more. If you find any other
problems, please let me know. Thanks.
=======================================================
Friday, November 21, 2008.
I have completed 1st Semester Review Packets for all my classes, and have
been distributing them after exams today. If you did not pick one up, make
sure you get one as soon as possible. The packets are due on December 4,
and will count for 5 homeworks. Remember - you will likely not be prepared
for the Midterm Exam if you do not complete the review packet. Thanks.
=======================================================
Monday, November 10, 2008.
Don't forget that my Homework Policy has changed in ALL MY CLASSES.
Homework not shown to me at the start of class immediately loses half
credit. Homework not shown to me by the end of the day after it is due can
no longer receive credit. Any questions, please see me. Thank you.
=======================================================
Tuesday, November 4, 2008
GET OUT AND VOTE!!
------------------
CHANGE IN HOMEWORK POLICY: Beginning the week of Monday, November 10, I will
be changing my policy regarding homework. Up until then, I accepted
homework for full credit until I left the building on the day it was due.
This was beginning to be abused by students - students who were rarely doing
their homework on time, and then were trying to complete it in class while I
went over it.
Therefore, beginning on Monday, homework checked at the start of class
completed acceptably will receive full credit. Homework shown to me after
school or the following day will receive half credit. And no change, no
homework credit on the 2nd day after it was due.
=================================================
Tuesday, October 28, 2008
JUNIOR MATH LEAGUE! Wednesday at 2:50PM - ~3:30.
Be in the Cafeteria ON TIME. Calculators allowed.
You must stay for the entire time.
==========================================
Monday, September 29, 2008
Don't forget about Jr. Math League on Wednesday evening. Help your school
in a competition against other schools in the area AND earn some extra
credit at the same time.!
===
I will not be available on Thursday afternoon due to a Math Department
meeting. I WILL be available on Friday morning, due to the Liturgy Schedule
later in the day. Thanks.
==========================================
Thursday, September 25, 2008
Interim Grades were mailed today. If you are not earning the grade that you
hope for, please come see me. Remember that there will still be two more
tests and at least two more quizzes. Start working now to be ready for them.
===========================================
Thursday, September 11, 2008
Have a wonderful long weekend!!
===========================================
Thursday, September 4, 2008
Attention Algebra 2 Students!! I have decided to postpone the quiz on Sets
until MONDAY, Sept. 8 so that we have more time to review. If you have any
questions, feel free to send me an email! Thanks.
===========================================
