I really don't like winter, but I enjoy sharing the first flakes each year with exchange students who have never experienced it before. Today 2nd block we were able to share Vinnie's first snow!! He was very excited. We even took his picture so he could text it home. Very excited for him!!
On a math note, we had a kind of math buffet today. We talked about projectile motion (which will make Mr. Groh happy for sure!), and we looked at zeros and finding equations for polynomials with degrees higher than 2. See notes and video for info.

So sorry I am not there today!! I have two sick kids--and you know they must really be sick or I would have sent them to school anyway :) Today we are going to learn and use the quadratic formula. It should be easy to learn with the attached videos and notes. I will also be attaching worksheets (with answer keys) that will be handed out in class. They are all due on Monday. Do your best!! Pay attention to the videos and the work should come. If in doubt use your resources--another teacher, google, youtube, this website, email or text me, but do something, don't choose to fail!
