On the lighter Side....Lets Watch Brayden Grow throughout the school year!


I thought it would be fun, (at least for me) to see how Brayden grows each month of the school year.  So here are a few pictures from his first three months of life!


Brayden at home-a couple days old

Brayden on fathers day-two weeks old


One month Old


A little over one month


Seven Weeks old at the beach!

2 months old....

2 1/2 months at Lake Norman

Three months old in his green chair!

Week of 9-15-9/19 Update

REMINDERS

-Wednesday September 17th:  If-then Bible Verse Projects are due!  Do a good job, these will be counted as a quiz grade and this could help your quiz average!
-We have started Chapter 2-Next quiz will probably be Tuesday September 23rd, on Sect 2.1-2.3. We should finish these sections up by the end of the week and review Friday.

Helpful sites

The web is always a helpful place to look for resources.  There are numerous websites out there with geometry help.  I have even found geometry video lessons on YouTube.  If you are having a hard time with a concept then just google that concept and thousands of entries should be found.  A concept may make more sense to you after you have heard about it in class and then looked it up online.  Here are a couple sites that I have used and found helpful.
