School 2014-2015

Hello, and welcome to a new school year!!!  I am using this blog now for informational purposes only.  For the first posting, I would like to put an internet site on here that the students have been using to practice their keyboarding skills.  It is www.bbc.co.uk/schools/ typing/.  This is a great site for them and they are having a great time practicing.  I hope that you will let them show you what they have accomplished!!  I have put this address on the Facebook page, as well.  Talk to you soon!

Hello!!!

This week is going by so quickly!!!  We have been working on changing the states of matter this past week.  Our test will be tomorrow.  I have given the students notes from the board, typed notes from me, and a study guide from the book.   We used today to review, as well, using a Smart board lesson and having each student make up questions to ask their group members.  This is a very interesting way, and yet fun, to study for a test.  We will begin Friday to look at kinetic and potential energy.  I have a video to show them and some notes to give them, too.  There is a fun activity to go along with our study of these types of energy.  Have a great rest of your week.  I will talk to you next week!!!

New Year and new grading period

Hello, and welcome back!

Wow!  I did not think we would ever make it back!  It is good to be here, though.  The second semester is here and we are starting the 3rd grading period.  We have begun looking at changing the states of matter and will move to kinetic and potential energy.  From that point, we will go to life science and cells.  We will spend the rest of the year on life science.  It is hard to believe that we have only 18 weeks of school left!  I have given the students some notes today from the board, but more will come tomorrow that are typed.  There were just too many to make them write everything down.  I will let you know, when the test will be.  We will be completing LAB #1, too, between today and tomorrow.  Well, I believe that is all for now.  I have great weekend and I will talk to you next week!
