Thurs.
Test Day...
How did you do?
Regents class, your first test of the second quarter: average 83. There was one 100 and nobody scored below a 67. With only four choices per question, the class should have at least been able to hit an 85 average; that would have been the case if more of the class would come to extra help.
Some students improved significantly from previous tests though some dropped off. Those THREE OR FOUR students who came to EXTRA HELP WITH QUESTIONS FROM THEIR HOMEWORK did very well; that is not a coincidence. Join the club, people. There should be standing room only for two days before a test. Don't make excuses even if you can come to extra help for only 15 minutes.
Honors: tests will be graded perhaps by Thanksgiving...depends on how many students answered what was asked for. Get right back into the Periodic Table tomorrow.
AP: continued our explanations and accounting for anomalies in first ionization energy across a period. We then did successive IE's and we started electronegativity. More on that tomorrow, then electron affinity. By Monday or Tuesday, we should be done with the unit and onto the HEART of chemistry: Bonding and Attractions.
