Hussar School raised $3,634.00 this year. http://www.hussarschool.zoomshare.com/2.shtml/e73d8ed98ab95ced106294aabd1b3d8e_452c8032.writeback Wed, 11 Oct 2006 00:25:06 -0500 I would like to address the subject of math marks so that I may dispel any confusion. Junior High can be a new and challenging experience for our youngsters. They learn to manage their time, their resources and their efforts. Some of these new experiences may include some learning lessons that help them on their journey. Math in the junior high program is very demanding and may be difficult for students at the beginning of the year. When the student learns to manage time and effort with studying in a proper balance, the transition, although not easy, will be manageable. consistent effort is essential to success in mathematics and junior high is included. Math concepts introduced in grade 7 are reviewed in grade 8 and grade 9 but given no credit at higher levels. For example, solving a one step linear equation is worth 2 marks in grade 7, two marks in grade 8, one mark in grade 9 and essential but given no part marks for the same effort in grade 10. This is by no means offered as discouragement to students but a realization that math basics must be mastered in order to achieve success. Retention is essential. With this expectation, if students work hard, their marks will steadily improve and will only be sustained by constant and persistent effort on their part. Students in the past have done very well with this method and I expect good results from the students again this year.

I have been working on some new ways to help you practice your mathematics but it involves a lot of practice on your part. In addition to daily homework assignments, there will also be weekend assignments that will be assigned. These assignments are mandatory and if completed will ensure you a good mark in math. Math requires practice; you know that now. As you know if you've taken my class, my tests are not easy...but with constant effort, you will do well. Enjoy the rest of the summer and I will see you on August 31. Mr. Yu http://www.hussarschool.zoomshare.com/2.shtml/c6f8017bae592fcf7d73cbc11561caa5_447f9c0b.writeback Thu, 01 Jun 2006 21:01:47 -0500 What's new(s) in our room? First of all we are finishing up the final unit in Science: Animal Life Cycles. Both grades also finished their final project for the second to last Math unit. The unit was DATA ANALYSIS. Is was a fun unit in which the students got to gather information and turn that information into graphs. One of the activities we did for this unit was the gathering and graphing of the Drydale Baby. The students had a great time. Graph #1 was the day the baby will be born. There were some interesting responces. Graph #2 Girl or Boy - also interesting. There are a large number of grade 3 and 4's who are thinking BOY. The final two graphs were weight and length . We have some very tiny guesses and some very large guesses. They are all excited to see what comes from all the choices they made on our baby. Yesterday, we got a small start on the final unit of "Chance and Uncertainty". This unit should take about two weeks to compete. This will leave a few days for review time. I hope everything is going well for everyone and that the beautiful weather is being enjoyed by all. http://www.hussarschool.zoomshare.com/2.shtml/0a8ebaccc1869cb66657e07750d4255d_445b866b.writeback Fri, 05 May 2006 12:07:55 -0500 Hussar Virtual students are diligently working their way through the programs of study. The tests are administered on specific dates but incomplete work can be submitted until the Final Marks are assigned in June. The most educationally sound stategy is,of course, to have all assigned work completed before the test is administered, however some students are exploring alternate strategies!! Nevertheless, Yogi Bera's comment about a baseball game is also appropiate to our Virtual classes, "it aint over 'til it's Over," and students can catch up. So, game on! http://www.hussarschool.zoomshare.com/2.shtml/d6ad27080a963fab9634e8f73b0be497_4456d78b.writeback Mon, 01 May 2006 22:52:43 -0500 Congratulations to all participants at the zone championship held in Airdrie this year.
