Welcome to the 2014-2015 School Year! WIN THE DAY!

We are excited to start the school year in Algebra 1.  We hope that you will find our class website a valuable resource for you as we go through the Algebra 1 curriculum. 

Our theme for this school year is WIN THE DAY.
We are encouraging students to be focused on the process and doing everything they can that day to make it a great day in Algebra.  When they do that over the course of a chapter, quarter, and semester then they will get that result they want.

WIN THE DAY is all about giving that day your very best.  We hope that this theme not only is lived out in Algebra class but also in the lives of our students outside of class. 

Lets have a great 2014-15 school year!  WTD
