There is a lot of chatter about potentially closing school or starting late due to the cold tomorrow. Many schools have already made announcements for remote learning while other nearby districts have announced a 2 hour delay to the school day. What about SHS? Well, I am 95% confident that there is a not a 60% chance that there will not be a non-normal school day schedule tomorrow due to the cold.
Now that we cleared that up, let’s talk about tomorrow.
Tuesday 7:40 AM. Thank you to the 40+ students that have expressed interest in trying out for the 8person team. Check your 8-person google classroom for our room location. Get a ride to school! It will be nice to not have to wait for a bus. We hope to start right at 7:40, so do your best to be on time. I know you are pumped to check out 8 person, but if SHS goes to a late start or cancels, then we will cancel our in person meeting and dispense material in the classroom.
Tuesday 8:30 AM – 3:25 PM. Go support your math teacher! Some of your teachers need a cheerleader – let them know they are doing a good job! Some need to be challenged – tell them about some MATH TEAM questions you are having trouble with. Some need help – give a thoughtful answer or offer an insightful question to help the class be the best it can be.
Tuesday 3:30 – 4:30. We are just over two weeks away from NSML #4. Our time in MATH TEAM will be spent in polishing up ideas regarding systems, right triangles, polynomials, and conics. Some years will dispense a practice contest to simulate the actual contest on February 6. Reminder again that the February 6 contest is hosted here and we invite you all to come and be part of the NSML. The email blast next week will ask for a head count so that we have enough material for everyone.
Monday 7:40 – midnight. It’s Martin Luther King Jr. Day! The “I have a dream” speech is one of the greatest speeches in US history. Consider reading through or listening to the speech to close our your three day weekend. =)
