Yeah B! B goes Nuclear!
Kudos and plaudits to B PERIOD! Tired of taking the cheap bronze medal for the past two quarters, B put on its game face for the final unit test of the year and went straight for the Pt (better than Au)! B cranked out a powerful 97 class average, a full 4 points over the traditional D powerhouse. E can boast about a few 100s on this test and a 92 average! I hope that this foreshadows B's performance on the upcoming Regents exam although I'm sure that D and E will make things very close and interesting. Perhaps a three-way tie??? 97,97, HOT 97!
Here's what is coming up:
we will finish our sixth practice Regents (June 2005) on Friday and maybe start our 7th, which is for hw this weekend. The Jan 2004 and June 2005 exams are due by the end of school or after extra help on Friday. For credit, each question in ALL parts of the test must have correct HONORS LEVEL work shown. Those FEW of you who have just been copying the answer key lose TWICE: once with a poor grade and twice you are losing a valuable opportunity to gain knowledge and insight into the Regents exam.
Monday, we will start our last practice Regents (In addition to individual topics per review session, I'll have two more Regents for the review sessions between the 8th and the 21st). On Tuesday, we will have a written Part B-2 and Part C Regents exam worth 150 points.
On Wednesday, cool stuff: fun with liquid Nitrogen and silver mirror bottles -ooooh!
Make sure that you bring in a clean glass bottle for that lab on Wednesday, our final regular class (sniffle....tear...sob...bawl...regains composure).
I will post the Regents Review session schedule by next Tuesday when I get an assigned room (although if things are too hot, we'll have review outside with ice pops). For each hour of each review session attended, students can earn credit (5 points per hour) towards their fourth quarter total points earned by ACTIVELY PARTICIPATING (taking notes and asking prepared questions) in the review session. I will keep track of your hours.
Students may continue to take Regents for credit towards their average until June 19th. I must be notified 24 hours in advance, though, for anyone who plans to take a Regents exam during a review session.
