The end of the quarter draweth nigh...

It is hard to believe, but the first quarter is almost at an end.  We will have our second test of the quarter during next week.  The schedule is as follows

Physics -- Wednesday, October 8
Chemistry H -- Thursday, October 9
Chemistry 2 -- Thursday, October 9 and Friday October 10.

This will close the quarter and finalize the quarter grades.

Parents, if you are not aware, you have access to My Big Campus.  This is the learning environment that use for all of my classes.  If you are interested in getting in and looking around, send me an email, and I will send you the instructions that were given to me.

Of course, at the end of next week, we will begin Fall Break and will be off for the week.  Here is hoping the weather is fine and the trees are colorful!

Until Later...

A moment of empathy...

Well the first round of tests are upon us.  All three of my classes will be taking tests this week, so your students may be just a little on edge.  Of course studying is most important, but there are a few things you can do to help.  Make sure they get a good night of sleep, something healthy for breakfast and reassure them that all will be well.  There may be some long faces as we go through this, but everyone that tries in my class will get through.  Here's hoping that all goes well.
