NEW YORK — Danica Keller
has a message for girls: Cute and smart is better than
cute and dumb.
McKellar, who played
Winnie on the 1990s TV show "The Wonder Years," is
coming out with a book, "Math Doesn't Suck," to
encourage girls to get into math.
Danica says,
"When girls see the antics of Paris Hilton and Lindsay Lohan, they think
that having fun being attractive also means being dumb and
irresponsible," the 32-year-old McKellar.
"But I want to show them that being smart is cool," she
said. "Being good at math is cool. And not only that, it
can help them get what they want out of life."
McKellar should know. The
actress once struggled with the subject around the
seventh grade, but a teacher helped her through.
McKellar eventually majored in math in college.
The book includes tips
to avoid mistakes on homework, ways to overcome test-day
anxiety and profiles of three beautiful mathematicians.

Announcements
Announcement #1:

* 91.1% pass rate!!! MY BEST EVER!!
* The only 11 Advanced Proficiencies at SRHS have been my
students!
* GREAT JOB EVERYONE!!
Announcement #2:
Mr. Houser's formula
for making life easier:
a) stay in school until you have some way of making a living
b) THEN get a job & save $
c) THEN get married
d) THEN have babies
When you do these things out of order, life is so so much
harder! And how do you think rich
people got rich and stay
rich? They and their parents
followed the formula above!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Mr. Houser:
Thank
you for everything you have done for [my daughter] this year!
You helped her understand and enjoy Math this year and have
truly made a HUGE difference in her life. YOUR PATIENCE AND YOUR
ABILITY TO CONNECT WITH THE STUDENTS ARE JUST A COUPLE OF THE
REASONS SHE HAS DONE SO WELL IN MATH THIS YEAR.....THANK YOU!
~~~~~~~~~~
What Do You Want To Do In 07-08?
If you want try and retry
until you learn how to do your math, work in groups so that you
understand, be in a class where no one disrupts you or is obnoxious, if
you want to be in charge of your grade, if you want to be a part of a team
and not get in any trouble.......then I'd love
for you to be in my class!! You're going to have a lot of fun this
coming school year!!!!!
But if you're looking for an easy time, a passing grade by doing very
little, if you want to sleep, if you like to put your own entertainment
ahead of your classmates' grades, if hard work is something that you
cannot tolerate, if you're expecting the teacher to pass you if you get
close ........then you're not going to have much fun at all.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
How Students Will Be Graded for 07-08
Homework: Homework will
be assigned every day. I'm saying, students will have HW due every day.
There will be very little time to do any work in class. When it is
completed, I will mark it "on time," or "one day late," or "two days
late," etc. However, students get 5 points EC for each school day HW is
done early. HW will be gone over in class. I will work any problems that
students have questions on. All the HW that a student does will be
turned in on test day as a package. HW counts as 10% of a student's
9-weeks grade.
Quizzes: Students will
have a quiz on all non-test days (except for 3rd period, which will have
quiz every other day). Quizzes will cover the HW that we just went over
in class. I will grade quizzes and return them to the students THE NEXT
DAY, guaranteed! If a student is unhappy with a quiz grade, he may take
it over as many times as he wishes.........and the final grade will be
the average of the best two! There is a one week deadline to take
quizzes over, so students can't procrastinate.
Tests: Students will have
a test approximately every 2 weeks. Therefore, students willl probably
have four tests every 9-weeks. Tests are long and hard! They will take
about an hour or more. But, if a student is unhappy with a test grade,
the same rules apply as with a quiz........he/she may take it over and
the final test grade will be the average of the two. |
