Week 8

Monday students will be working in the Kaplan book again which is ACT prep. On Tuesday we will continue the chapter on chemical bonding with naming ionic compounds. I believe the juniors will be out on Wednesday for an Arts & Humanities field trip so we will start covalent bonding on Thursday. There will be a quiz on Tuesday over polyatomic ions and a quiz on Friday over covalent prefixes. The nine weeks ends on Friday and Fall Break begins.

Week 7

Students were given a study guide on Thursday, which is due tomorrow (Monday). We will go over the study guide and review for the test on The Periodic Table which will be on Tuesday. Wednesday is club day and clubs are scheduled to meet every period of the day. Thursday will begin the unit on Bonding. We will start out with Ionic Bonding and learning how to write ionic bonds on Thursday with a worksheet as homework and Friday we will incorporate transition metals and polyatomic ions into Ionic bonding.

Week 6

The students are working on The Periodic Table unit. Students will start Kaplan on Monday, which is an ACT Preparation program designed to enhance ACT scores and provide students with test taking stratagies. This week will consist of finishing up the unit, doing a lab on Wednesday and taking the last two quizzes over elements on Wednesday and Friday. With only three weeks left in this quarter, students are encouraged to get extra credit turned in as soon as possible. 

Week 5

Students took the test over atomic structure on Friday. They will get those back and we will go over them on Tuesday. We will be starting the unit on the periodic table this week. Students will learn the history, how it is organized and patterns that appear on the table. Quizzes will be given this week on Wednesday and Friday as students memorize element symbols, names and location on the periodic table. Check the progress reports and give me a call!
