first B average

My second hour, regular Algebra 1/2 class, had a B average (82%) on the first test of the semester. This is exciting for me. The second semester is at least 2x harder than first, and they needed to take this first, easiest unit seriously so they could up their individual averages to weather the storm of the next two units coming. Nothing but encouragement and a push for them to keep up their commitment to doing well tomorrow. I have a few students that I have concerns about, but I will be seeking them out one on one.
