Friday January 30th 2009

Today we took a quiz over what we have learned in Physical Science so far. The students were allowed to use any notes that they had in their composition books, and all of those notes and illustrations were done together.

After the quiz we discussed how atoms and molecules create compounds. We drew our compounds and created their formulas using a list of Elements and their symbols.

You can see the quiz by clicking on the word "quiz" anywhere in this blog. There will be a link for you to click on that says 'view published presentation in a new window.'

Here's to happy blogging! Have an excellent weekend!!

Introduction to Our Blog

Well, here we are for our first blog. I've noticed that a lot of our students are looking for ways to study at home, or on the weekends. To help themselves get that extra edge. That thrills me. We also have some awesome parents who do everything that they can to get our students where they need to be.

After some thinking, I've decided that the best way to make a community of learners is to create a daily blog. Every day after school gets out, I'll post what we've done for the day, with any important notes that your students may need, or that you may need to help them.

The new year is already a month in and our TAKS test will shortly be upon us. I'm hoping to have our best scores ever this year!! :)
