Week of September 27-October 1

It has been amazing getting to know the students in my classes!!  I have throughly enjoyed the students and teaching.  I'm really excited for where we can go in the curriculum throughout the rest of the semester and this week will be no exception!

This week we are going to spend Tuesday as a work week.  There are several assignments we need to finish and we are going to do a review assignment.  The topics we are going to cover will include the metric system and speed.  All students should be able to convert between metric units (ex. how many centimeters are in 562 millimeters?) and calculate speed between two points given the difference in distance and the time it took to travel that distance.

Thursday we will have a quiz.  This will be our first quiz of the year and will cover the two topics mentioned above.  The quiz will be very similar to the review worksheet we will complete.  The main purpose for this quiz is to allow me the opportunity to evaluate each students' progress towards our classroom goals.

After our quiz on Thursday we will work on more experiments so we can gain a better understanding of motion.
