I'm Back on Monday

Dear Parents,

I will be returning on Monday.  Sleep, medicine, and water have been a great help but the voice and cough still nags a bit.

Ms. Wang, the substitute, appears to have completed everything I had set aside for the class.  I would like to thank her greatly for her help!  (She is actually a former Ruskin student and an aspiring teacher!)

I received some updates from TenMarks.com.  Here is the progress they shared with me:

Weekly TenMarks Report for Mr. Amutan's Regular Class

Total students in Mr. Amutan's Regular Class: 23

Students who worked on TenMarks: 5

Total problems attempted: 789

Problems answered correctly: 730

Weekly TenMarks Report for Mr. Amutan's Math Class

Total students in Mr. Amutan's Math Class: 35

Students who worked on TenMarks: 2

Total problems attempted: 209

Problems answered correctly: 184

The number of participating students needs to rise because we are now preparing for the CSTs which will take place in a month (April 30-May 1 = CST ELA; May 7-8 = CST Math).  I will create more review sections on TenMarks for the students who are finished with all of the assigned tasks.  And as always, if you have forgotten your password (Log-In and Password are the same), please see me tomorrow or any time next week.
