WELCOME TO OUR JUNGLE SAFARI! Class Blog 4 2 13

Ok Ok OK.. I know the

Zags los to the Shockers>?? WHO?  My tournament bracket was totally a mess since I had our boys going all the way to the final... 

But I know that there is  NO way everyone else had all these teams picked so I will wait until next year... you never know what will happen.  Thank you to the Zags for an exciting and excellent season... !

Math A, 2nd and 4th Period:  CHAPTER TEST Estimating Fractions & Mixed Numbers  Monday! This week we finish up estimating with getting ready for adding and subtracting fractions next week!  Ah just love those fractions!

Math B, 5th period

CHAPTER TEST On Recursive Equations Monday !!

We will be finishing up recursive equations this week with our test on Monday.  We then will be moving into input output tables from equations... now doesn’t sound like FUN!

ZAGS...

After winning ALL of their conference games ( yeah easy conference huh! Well they still had to win every game!) and being ranked NATIONALLY #1 for the last three weeks of the season... and making it as a #1 seed in the tournament.. there were a LOT of teams that didn't even achieve one of those FANTASTIC accomplishments! 

I say, the Zags went out every night and played.. where they were ranked and placed in the national rankings or the tournament rankings was not their issue.. playing basketball is was and every day and every night they gave their best, that is ALL we can ask of anyone! Until next season!!

Even though life can

seem to be wild and crazy... or that you're lost in a jungle.. Keep pressing forward! And always remember, you are amazing, incredible people with the whole world waiting to be changed by YOU!

Tests on Thursday...and another win for the ZAGS

We had a close one vs. San Diego, thanks to David Stockton!!  Really a game is not won by 1 shot… there were a whole lot of other plays that make or break a game!  Only 6 weeks till March Madness!  

Tomorrow all classes will have a chapter test.  Please be responsible and study tonight, actually if this is the only time you study then your cramming!!  Do not count tonight as studying… do not confuse work with desperation!  Either way spend some time.. if you have time to watch tv, play Xbox or something like that then you surely have time to study!

See you tomorrow!

Mr. Rott

1/23/13 Goooooo Zags!

REMEMBER... all your work is turned in by MONDAY!!! It will NOT be accepted after Monday for the end of the term!

Tough Loss for the Zags vs. Butler... But we are still ranked #10!  Can't complain about that.. plus it was a great game!

Here are the last few minutes...sad but true.. a sad loss...

1/8/13 Welcome BACK!

Welcome back!
I hope your Christmas break was fantastic... mine was... slept in, went to the movies, out to eat and just enjoyed every minute!!! Plus Santa was good to me so that must mean I have been a very good boy!!!!

The ZAGS continue to win... and some very exciting games... can’t wait to see how they do once March Madness starts... final four????

You have 14 school days before grades are due.  That means if you are not doing well please be responsible and get those grades up!
