Go in and review the instructions for the 3rd quarter project. Whenever we get back, we'll go over it in detail. After about 45 mins, you can say that 'Science' is done for the day. Oh, and remember, Friday is now a school day! Take care, stay safe.
1/22) Regardless of any 'snowdays' or not...below are the directions for completing the 'required' city test for the mid-year point: Go to the 'Required Testing' module in CANVAS, open the 'MKV Physical Science Mid-Assessment 2025SY', complete it to the best of your ability.

If you take any zeros...the only reason you MIGHT have is a broken chromebook. Now open: T 1-1. Our first 'lab' is paper and scissors. The first Project is due on 10/25 (which we also covered today in class).
9/5) Today we started the '2-part' REQUIRED city test. Both parts need to be completed by Monday. Whatever you don't finish in class can be completed at home. Closing on Friday: CW #2/HW #2/Q 1-2/Q 1-3/Jlab #2. Also...the 'reopened' quiz and Jlab. Why do some of you still have 80's or 90's or in some cases...NO SCORE AT ALL?!!!!

8/28) Today we got the support papers for our first lesson and organized our 'required/return' KMS papers.
8/27) Today we organized our binders in preparation for the end-of-quarter 'binder quiz'.

11/1) It's simple...grades close on Thursday because of REPORT CARDS!!!!! Are you going to pass the 1st quarter?! HW is: CW #9, HW #11, T 1-3. NO school on Friday, so this weeks grades are due TOMORROW!!!!
10/31) Grades posted last night. Some of you BETTER NOT mess up your grade in the last week of the quarter by not doing the last tasks assigned. That would be a bad choice, because some of you have EXACTLY a 70% right now. If you mess that up, you lose an elective!!!!! HW is: CW #9, HW #11, T 1-3. NO school on Friday, so this weeks grades are due on THURSDAY!!!!
10/30) Recovery Week ends TODAY at 2p!!!! Go back and improve all the low-Jlab scores, and use all of your attempts for the quizzes & tests. HW is: CW #9, HW #11, T 1-3. NO school on Friday, so this weeks grades are due on THURSDAY!!!!

CW #9, HW #11, T 1-3. It is all due Thursday (11/2) at 2pm. Don't forget, Recovery Week ends Monday (10/30) at 2 pm. There will be NO Friday as there is obviously no school (can I getta 'Whut-Whut!!)

10/23) OMG!!! Now this is BIGGGGGGG news and it only happens ONCE PER YEAR!!!! It's called 'Recovery Week', and what it means is that I have reopened EVERY quiz, test, or Jlab since the beginning of the year. So if you have quizzes, tests, or Jlabs that you never took, or did not use all of your attempts...well now is your chance to fix that. All grades must be in and verified by 10/30 at 2pm. Don't miss this opportunity, I will NOT do it ever again!!!!! HW is: CW #8, HW #10, Q 1-9, Binder, TOC, Project. Binder & TOC on Wednesday. Project on Thursday.

10/18) OMG! If on Friday you don't have Jlab #8 done (after 7 days and it's the ONLY task this week), then you better hope you're not failing, because that will send a clear message to the people at home.
10/17) Project due on the 26th!!!!! Binder check & TOC check due next week as well (the 25th or 27th?). You were given the actual Project Test weeks ago, today you recieved the actual Binder Quiz and TOC Quiz papers. No excuses!!! HW is: CW #8, HW #10, Q 1-9, and Jlab #8 (the ONLY thing due this week is Jlab #8!).
10/16) The TOC is now completely filled-up! What does that mean? It means you have a week to fill yours in before I take mine down. Jlab #8 (last one!!!) now due. HW is: Nothing yet, because I need to recalculate the 5 to 7 days. I do know this...the ONLY task for this week will be Jlab #8.

6/13) 8th Grade trip today!!! What fun!!!
6/12) Working on what could be our last test grade of the year. Sadly, no matter how many times I say, "Science is NOT over," some students still don't come prepared for class and may take a 'zero' if I do indeed count this grade. The other side of that coin is that some students desperately need another grade like this, and now because of the choices they're making...well the grade won't help. BIG NEWS: Science-8 SOL retake on Wednesday morning! Be there or be square!
6/9) All Binder/TOC & Project grades go in at 4:30 today. We have potentially one or two grades left.
6/8) Today is 'Project' & 'Picture' day. We have one or two grades left after this. Grades close on Wednesday the 14th at 4:30 (can't do Friday because they're due that morning!). The 8th grade party is Tuesday the 13th. The Awards Ceremony is Thursday the 15th. The 16th is 'Early Release'.
6/7) Yikes!!! We took the Science SOL yesterday and the results were not good (sad face). BUT!!! Sooooooooo many students that failed earned a high enough score to be eligible for a retake (happy face)!!! So RIGHT NOW everyone will send me an email telling me what elective you have for Bell #6 and Bell #7. Make it look like this:
Your name:
B6 elective: B7 elective:
Today we do our Binder & TOC checks. We start a course-review activity which will be one of the last grades of the year, IF not the last grade of the year. Tomorrow we grade the Project.
6/6) Science SOL today...that's it!!!!!!!!!!
6/5) It's a Monday and you have to worry about TWO things: a) Science SOL tomorrow!!! Get some sleep and remember the strategy 'Process of Elimination'. You WILL pass! b) The Binder and TOC quiz are Wednesday! The Project is due Thursday.
6/2) Yep, today is Friday, so HW #35 thru 37 are done. Q 1-13 is done (The 'TestNav' review quiz and the '3 Category Review quiz were both done in class). Jlab #8 is done. Don't forget, Binder/TOC/Project all next week!!

If you don't like the test grade you got...go retake it. The only 'but' is that if you do/redo a Jlab, you have to submit a 'late-work' paper with your name and which Jlab it is, so I know what I have to update (remember, Jlabs I have to enter the grade in manually). CW, HW, and Labs will NOT be reopened...there is no excuse for those not being done (goodness, two of them were done in class everytime).
10/21) I gave you the Binder Check quiz!! I gave you the TOC Check quiz!!! I gave you the Project test (Plus, they're all posted online as well)!!!!
