I currently have a Google website that replaces this site as the place to visit for current homework assignments and updated resources.

School year 2018-2019
As we journey through this school year, I'd like for you to think about something I read in a book called Perfectly Yourself by Matthew Kelly. When you are sitting in any classroom at Avon Middle School, I'd like you to ask yourself this question,
"Am I making progress?"
I am going to define progress as change, no matter how small it is, for the better. So if your goal in my class is to be a better math student, what actions will you take to show yourself you are making progress toward that goal? Think about that question as I challenge you to put a plan together that will show you that you made considerable progress when you leave my class next June.
