Bell Schedule, Calendar and letters from last year’s class

 

  1.  Above is the new Bell Schedule….by the way, staff still has to be at school by 7:15!
  2.  I have added you all to the BC Calculus Calendar which will have all assignments and dates of assessments on it.  I believe that you should have received a message if you accept it the calendar will appear on your Calendar.  Easy!  If you are not seeing the calendar email me now and I will add you!
  3. Finally, the BC class from last year wrote you letters of advice.  I ask you to read three letters.  Pick 1 that you know the person, 1 that you do not know the person and 1 that is purely your choice.  I always believe that there is value in hearing from other students.  Here is the link to the letters:  https://app.box.com/s/88a75g0qa4lvz5psul51cgh7vpfm9vj7

See you all tonight.

I look forward to meeting you all!

What to bring:
1. I will always have packets for you, so just bring something to write with.
2. Please bring your ID as I will check out books tomorrow.
3. If you ordered a TI89 at the end of last year, I will give them out after class on Monday or before class on Tuesday (arrive a few minutes early on Tuesday), if you do not want to wait after class. I will have a list that you will need to sign.
4. YOUR BRAIN!
5. We will probably be done on Wednesday night, so Thursday will probably not be needed.
6. If you can not attend on a particular night, I will post notes each day on my site. Here is a link to where the notes will be: https://app.box.com/s/nfzq0hnqccj4qyi7j2ntgbpbg02mc2ju You can also get there from the class notes link on https://danjonesmathematics.net/bc-calculus-calendar/
7. Homework? I will give suggested assignments for the next 3 days. These are encouraged but not required, as I will not check these in. This will change when school starts. The assignments will be on the packet and also on the calendar on my web site.  https://danjonesmathematics.net/bc-calculus-calendar/

6 BC calculus Lost Sheep remain time to attack! Extra credit opportunity

 

 .   . 

 

Ok.  6 of your classmates remain as lost….we need to find them….ASAP!  Text them, call them, snap chat them, message them by any means possible!  Drive to their house, where they work…just find them!!!!  Why  you ask? Because…….

 

Extra credit?  I have not heard from the following 6 and I need them to read the email I sent and email me back.  They also need to include who contacted them first and those people, the ‘first contactors’ will receive some extra credit. 

Here are the lost sheep which are making me sad:  🙂 . Oscar Basza, Anuujin Ider, Jason Miraka, Riley Mueller, Sagar Patel and Khaliun Radnaa.

Do it NOW.  The clock is ticking…..Go!

Welcome Back! Wednesday is new seat day!!! and a few other random thoughts.

• Does this mean that Liam will be the last one to class again?  Patrick too?  

• No assessment either, so will Sahil and Becky be there?  

• Who will sit in the front row?

• A few thoughts to ponder:  

  • If student A  and student B are never in class on the same day, could they could be the same person?
  • Why is lemon juice made with artificial flavor, while dishwashing liquid is made with real lemons?
  • Why don’t we ever see this headline:   Psychic Wins Lottery ?
  • Why can’t women put on mascara with their mouths closed?
  • If a pig loses its voice, is it disgruntled?

 Can you “save seats”?  NO!  First come first serve!
