Welcome back to Geometry! This week, there are no live lessons. You have one recorded lesson to watch and one assignment to complete. All HS teachers are unavailable from March 15^th through March 17^th, and we will begin replying to emails on March 18^th.

Objective: Students can work with large and small numbers using scientific notation. They can also use scientific notation to convert between metric units.

Video: The video can be found on Microsoft Teams. Go to the “Geometry” team and click the “Videos” tab at the top (you may need to click the down arrow for more options). Once there, scroll until you find the lesson for March 15^th.

Assignment: You have one assignment for this week: Scientific Notation. It is due in one week.

Please read the following update from Sharon Collins. It was also sent out from Westgate through email.

Dear HS Families,

In keeping with timely communications and consideration for minimizing academic disruption, we need to let our HS families know that Westgate will be conducting asynchronous learning through Microsoft Teams on March 15, 16 and 17.  Conferences are still scheduled for March 18 and 19.  

This decision was not made lightly but is necessary for teachers and staff to get their second COVID vaccination and allow for anticipated teacher and staff absences.

Due to a shortage of substitute teachers and inability to guarantee classroom coverage, we could not be certain of our ability to offer live instruction for that week.  Preplanning for asynchronous learning gives us all the opportunity to minimize academic disruption to families and students. 

Teachers have begun planning for the asynchronous learning that will occur and will have lessons prepared ahead of time. 

If your student receives special education services, the learning specialist will email you information about services during asynchronous learning.

Teachers will not be available Monday, March 15tthru Wednesday, March 17.  They will be available for conferences on March 18 and 19.  

Please reach out to your student’s advocate or the HS assistant principal, Ms. Amanda Novak, if you have any questions or comments prior to March 15.

We recognize that a week of asynchronous learning will be inconvenient for some families, but we know that providing timely information and planning time is most helpful.

Sincerely,
Sharon Collins

Here is how your math final will work:

 

The Final: Similar to the Final Review, both the final and the sheet for your answers will appear in Teams Monday (14th) at 8 AM. It is due by 4 PM on Tuesday (15th). I will not accept late finals. Please submit it early in case you encounter tech issues. That way, you will have time to turn it in.

 

A few notes:

• If Teams gives you trouble, you can download the answer sheet, record your answers, and either upload it to Teams or email it to me.
• Please do not use Sharepoint. I have had trouble accessing student work when it is done using Sharepoint and Teams. Please either complete the document on Teams, or download it and upload it as described in the previous note.
• If you had graphing problems on the review, you will also have them on the final. You can complete the graphs by hand and upload pictures of them or use a program like Microsoft Paint to draw on the graphs digitally.

Welcome back for another week of Geometry! This week, we will be going through the Final Review posted on Teams, and then your final will be uploaded on Monday, December 14^th. Here’s what to expect for the week:
