Today students handed in their course policies and safety contract page. (safety contract was distrubuted today for 1A- hand in by Friday please) Textbooks were distributed and a survey was done of the book. For those that did not finish this is homework. We then jumped into the first lesson on science. (1A did not finish, more to come on Friday)

First day 3A

We had more time in 3A today so we were able to get further into the lesson.  We talked about safety and handed out the safety contract - this needs to be signed by student and parent and handed in this week.  We also started a group discussion about science and what it is.  We will continue Wednesday.

First Day!

Today we went over the course syllabus and some classroom procedures. They also took a pre-test to assess their math and measurement skills. Parents, please fill out and sign the class policies page. It is due this week for a grade.
