Periodic Updates
Week 4 In Review
Important Dates & Assignments:
- We have done several labs in class. All labs will be scored using a rubric that is shared with students through their Google Drive. Anything not a "3" can, and should, be fixed and turned back in for review. Once reviewed, their rubric will reflect the changes.
- We took a summative assessment on Friday. Those are currently being scored and you will be notified of the results as soon as those are finished.
- This week we will be starting a new unit: Atomic Theory
What happened last week?
- We worked on the differences between physical and chemical changes in the lab.
- We explored ways to get density of different types of metals.
- Curriculum night was great. To those that came by, thank you for your visit. If you did not get to attend, click here for the link to the handout.
From the desk of Mr. Terry:
This was another week with a focus on perseverance. I remember so many times trying to get ready to take an assessment for the first time in a class. I tried to reassure the students in their understanding of the information. It takes perseverance not to get overwhelmed with the amount of information and just take it one thing at a time. Another lifeskill we are learning right now is courage. Courage is being willing to say you don't understand and you need help. As we get into the heart of our first real unit it will take courage for students to seek out help from their peers, me, and/or you as the topics get more complicated and abstract. If you have any questions for me or feel you student needs tutoring please email me so we can set this up. Have a great week!
