***Parents, please note that many students are getting Inc, on their Math homework page over and over because THEY ARE STILL NOT FOLLOWING ALL DIRECTIONS! It is extremely important that students pay attention to directions and LEARN TO NOTICE DIFFERENCES like changes from 8 to 9. If students keep repeating the same type of errors over and over, then my correcting their work daily is of no use. Students need to learn from mistakes, not keep repeating them! Please review their work whenever possible.
