Science- the unit exams were overall well-done. This was an inquiry unit, culminating in student presentations. As such, a significant portion of the learning took place while listening to the presentations, with teacher clarification when needed. The class will receive their marks on Wednesday, as I am away at a pd tomorrow. Any student concerned with their mark may speak with me regarding extra credit assignments. We have started our chemistry unit as of current. It is a little more challenging. Let me know if your son or daughter needs extra practice with any of the skills. I am always willing to send home extra practice. Additionally, there are 3 extra credit papers already provided to bolster the marks of students who may struggle with math and/or formal testing. There will be a unit quiz in about 2 weeks. I will post more on that next week.
Art- our next art project will be a color-mixing assignment with paints. I am blocking off an entire week (3 hours) for this project, and as such we will not be doing for a couple of weeks to make up the time in science. Each student needs to bring an 8x8 inch Color print-out of an image that they would like to use for the painting project.
