Go Lancers


Go Lancers
I love that the whole school is coming together to vote on myFoxBoston.com. This is a great way to promote school spirit. My last check showed Dennis Yarmouth with 311 votes and Norton High with 1672 votes. Keep spreading the word, we don't want to give them a chance to catch up. Then on Friday we need to continue to show our school spirit by coming to the game and cheering our team on to victory.

With Nortons luck Dennis Yarmouth will vote 3000 times at the very last moment! I hope not but yes we should all go to the game to watch the football team beat up on Dover!

DONT SAY THAT ANDREW!
But...I am really excited for the game even if we aren't chosen! As a member of the band, this may be the first time we go on the field in formations for half-time. That's a huge accomplishment, seeing as last year we barely went on the field at all! But...if we are chosen, I HOPE WE PLAY (ftball) and SOUND good!

I disagree with Either... Norton has amazing school spirit and should win this vote. This Friday's game should be a great turn-out. Everyone should definitely go! Go Lancers!

I can't wait for the football game! I think its definately going to be one of the biggest NHS football games in a long time. With all the votes we're putting up and all the excitement surrounding the game, the turnout is surely going to be huge.

I think its crazy that we have so many more votes than Dennis Yarmouth. I think we need to keep voting all we can so that they won't even have a chance to catch up. It's exciting to know that one of our games might actually be televised!


I agree with Andrew though, with our luck, Dennis Yarmouth might come back within the last days of voting and take the win. But I really hope not!

Definately, these votings just goes to show how much school spirt NHS really has. I'm sure Dennis Yarmouth would like to have their game on T.V. as well but apparently we just want it a lot more. Good job NHS! We rule!

I didn't expect our school to have many votes at all especially a lead this big. It just proves how much school spirit we really have. I agree with Rebecca and definitely want to go to this game if we win. Go Norton!!!

I keep getting so many e-mails forwarding me the link to vote so I know the word is spreading. I think we have it in the bag and I can't wait for the game. It's probably gonna be crazy though with everyone trying to get on tv!
Also, I agree with Joe this is a great showing of our school spirit. GO NHS LANCERS!!

I'm so glad that we won! I agree with Caroline; at first I didn't expect Norton to win, especially with a lead that big. Our school definitely has a ton of school spirit. I wanna try to make it to the game.

I think Dean said it best:
"We dominate."

Now that i know that we have won, before I would have had to agree with andrew in thinking that yarmouth would spring a ton of votes at the last minute. Im glad they didn't though and we won.

We did awesome!!!!!! I am so proud of the whole team!!! I think that having Fox come to the school was a real spirit lifting experience for Norton as a whole. I would be driving and would see a ton of signs with things like "GO LANCERS". its nice to see a town act like that.

The game was really fun! I think it was great that our whole school came together and showed school spirit and even made our field nicer. It was probably the best football game I've ever been to at our highschool and our team did really well too!

Only 4 weeks to go

Another great year is coming to an end. I can not believe that there are only 5 more math classes left this year. It has been so much fun with my classes this year. I want to thank all my students for their hard work and for making my job so enjoyable. This time of year is very busy and it is easy to lose focus so make sure you stay on top of your assignments and get some studying done. Don't leave your final exam studying until the last minute. If you like baseball (that would be me) this is a fun time. I am waiting to hear when Norton plays their first playoff game which will probably be this weekend. I hope everyone can come cheer on the guys. I am also waiting to hear my son's schedule for this weekend because he is in the KP cup (a little league baseball tournament). As long as his team keeps winning we could play 8 games in two days. That can be a little tiresome so I may need a nap on Monday.

Sports and Math

Sports and Math......do they go together? I noticed that my blog has been a lot about sports (especially the redsox) and I was wondering if you think that math and sports are connected. I took a tour of the Patriots Hall of Fame Wednesday morning and that has me thinking even more about the connection between math and sports. The Hall of fame has a lot of educational things in it. When the kicker is attempting a field goal do you think he is thinking about the math involved? Well he should be. Do you have any idea what the percent of increase is on ticket prices and the programs sold at each game? What about the all the statistics kept on these professional players. I am sure there is a mathematician involved, specifically a statistician. So what do you think about the sports and math connection?

First Chapter Test

I just finished correcting one class of Pre-calc tests. It took over 3 hours to correct the tests. I spent most of the time writing notes on why the answers were wrong. I put a lot of effort into making a review sheet to do for homework and then another to post on edline. I wish my students put the same amount of effort into doing those sheets and preparing for the test. There were four perfect test scores of 100 and I congratulate all of you that worked hard to prepare for this test. I was disappointed in the number of students that did poorly. I hope my students take this as a learning experience and if they did poorly they will try harder for the next one. You need to put a lot of effort into a Pre-calculus class if you want to be successful.
