UPDATES BY ANNETTE DAVIS
For the first few weeks of school my Algebra II and Geometry classes have been working on foundational skills in the courses and extending those skills to include the first concepts in the course content. With the use of cooperative learning and lecture in the classroom setting the students have been able to obtain mastery of the concepts.
I have also incorporated a regular scheduling of after-school study sessions prior to each major test. The attendance at these sessions has been good and the goal to help the struggling students has been achieved through this channel by those students who have chosen to attend the sessions.

BOOK CLUB
The Pinedale High School Book Club had a successful and fun first year. There were 22 members which met once a month in the library during lunch. We chose books on member recommendations and had a diverse collection. Probably the favorite book among the group last year was Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins. This year we will be reading the sequel, Catching Fire. The High School schedule now allows for meeting during our Silent Sustained Reading period, which is when our group will convene and discuss books.
