Subject: 	Algebra this week (1/10)

Dear Algebra Parents:

We are continuing our unit on solving systems of equations (Chapter 7
 in Larson textbook). We took a quiz on Thursday that I plan to hand
 back to the students today. It was several problems directly from the
 homework. Students tended to either do very well or very poorly. I
 suggest that you ask your children to see the quiz. Point out that the
 quiz problems were the same as homework problems #10 and 19 from
 Larson page 349. If they are not understanding the homework, they
 should come for extra help. Extra help is available on a "drop-in"
 basis after school on Wednesdays and Thursdays and other times (e.g.,
 before school) by appointment. 

We are having a quiz today (Monday) on solving systems of equations by
 substitution. We will probably have a quiz on Thursday on solving
 systems by linear combinations. As always the assignments for the week
 are posted on the Quia website at:
 http://www.quia.com/pages/bhsbrownalg1.html.

Also, the course recommendation forms are due back by Tuesday. Your
 child will receive detention for every day passed then that I don't
 have the signed form.

If you have any questions, feel free to contact me.

Mr. Brown

PS:  I am adding a few email addresses every week so I am going to just
 add this postscript every week. Ignore it if you've seen it before.
 I'm sensitive to the fact that your email boxes may be overflowing, so
 if you don't want to receive this type of email in the future just let
 me know and I will remove your name from my distribution list. I am
 sending this to the email addresses I have collected so far. If you
 know parents of other Algebra I students you might suggest that they
 send me an email so I can add their address to my list.
