Preston Conference 3/16/16

Not really much a goal-setter due to procrastination. Procrastination in almost every class
except for Science with Gertsler. He is strict about due dates.
Having strict due dates helps a little more.
Hakken has strict due dates as well. He checks the packets every Thursday and then takes
a quiz.
Borrowing a calculator from our classroom for Hakkens Honors Geometry class.
Grades have been going up in some classes
Honors Geometry and U.S. History should be the main focus for the rest of the marking
period.
o Mrs. Gillett is still grading some assignments
