Study Hall Class

I will host a study hall for those who would like to try it out!

 

Date: November 28th at 2 pm. 

You must sign up for this class by emailing me with your intent on attending. I will resend the link to the class via email.

 

This study hall time will focus on the preparing for the test on Thursday for Physical Science.

 

Thank you,

KP

Remember ! You are to complete two chapters this week!  Chapters 7 and 8! (BOTH CLASSES)

Good Afternoon or Evening!

I will send out your grades for your lab books in the morning. As for your home work:

Intermediate class:  Section 6.1- 6.3
Advanced Class: 6.1 - 6.5

If anyone is needing help or if anyone wants to have a classroom online where other students can meet and discuss the problems together, please let me know. I will schedule a study hall on Tuesday of next week and I can send you the link to the classroom.   I have multiple rooms within the main room, so can have one room for intermediate, one for advanced and one for Algebra students to study in.

Good Morning Everyone ….

Well, I have the test graded. They were not what I expected and I do see some areas that the entire class will need to improve on.  But that is what learning is all about!  Right? 

For homework, MAKE SURE THAT YOUR NOTEBOOKS ARE UP TO DATE!  They should be complete through Chapter 5.  Other than that, do not go into the next section until after class next week.

For the advanced class, please go ahead and complete 5.5.  Do not go any further than that!

 

On Thursday, each of you will need to bring a notebook or extra paper with you.  It will also be helpful if you bring a ruler and a pencil.  We are going to spend some time on graphs.  It is the one area that most of the students missed.  Since graphs will be a vital part of both science and math, I want to make sure you have a really good understanding on how to read them and how to use them.

 

Ok, I will see everyone on Thursday. Your lab books will need to be turned into me at the beginning of the class and you will receive it back at the end of the day.

Home work for 10/20/2011

Science Class: Most of you should have already completed lesson 4. If you have not, please complete it! Do not go to Chapter 5. We will cover a huge part of it in class on Thursday. Well, the only part of Chapter 5 that I want you to review is 5.3~ the vocabulary quiz. See you all on Thursday!

Secondly, please make sure you are coming to class prepared. Bring sharpened pencils or pens. Your lab book and any other needed supplies.  To the older students, you will not need you gliders this week at Co-Op.

Homework!

 

As the majority of the class ruled, we will have normal class on this Thursday and then you will have your quiz on October 13. During class, I will give you your study guide and we will go over it in class. Just so that we will not get behind, please continue and complete Lesson 4 (All sections for each class)

Homework for this week!

 

Sorry for the delay of this information!

 

Complete 3.1 – 3.3 for the younger class and 3.1- 3.5 for the older class.  We will have class discussions concerning course content.

 

We also have our first quiz coming up. It will cover 1.1 to 3.3 for the younger kids and 1.1 through 3.5 for the older kids. I will give you a study guide. Test will be given on October 6th!

 

Thanks

Kathy

The week of 9/16–9/22: Homework

 

We had a lot of fun during class this past week and I hope all of you have been learning as well.  This week, we are going to press forward into chapter 2! 

Before we head there, I want to share with you about a chance meeting that we had yesterday. 

My sons and I stopped to get gas yesterday at Flying J, in Blacksburg.  While there, we noticed a man who was hauling a glider behind his camper.  We stopped to ask him more about it.  He spent 20 minutes telling us about aerodynamics and much more.  He is a pilot for Delta Airline 777. As a pass time, he races gliders. His call sign is DL.  I am sharing a few links with you concerning his passion.

He will be competing in the upcoming race in VA.  His name is  

DL
Dennis Linnekin

Here are some Youtube Videos in case you want to know more: This not Dennis but a friend of his.
