First Two Days of School Overview

Hello everyone, I hope you have an enjoyable day off tomorrow and have had an exciting first two days back at school.  For the past two days each class has gone over a lot of the more administrative and classroom management details such as peer and teacher introductions, discussing the syllabus, and sharing ideas about effort and respect in the classroom. Every class has handled this very well and it is in your best interest to maintain this effort and respect.

I hope the multiple intelligence test was also of some interest to you despite confusion with scoring ! I went around and made note of who filled it out and who did not.  Those of you who did it are off to a great start and those of you that did not can still show it to me for half credit on Friday but please be weary of due dates. In Int. Science everyone did well with the classmate get to know you activity and most people in Forensics earned full credit for handing in their classmate interview. I will most likely just group all the assignments for this week together to be worth about 12 points total.

On Friday we will discuss a few more class procedures and talk about safety.  Safety is our last but perhaps most important procedural discussion until and then we get started on science units:

Forensics : Forensics Basics and Eye Witness Testimony
Integrated Science: Scientific Techniques/Methods

Please remember your homework:

Forensics: Have parent/guardian sign class syllabus (Due Fri)
Integrates Science: Have parent/guardian sign class syllabus & Image Representation (Due Fri)

Image Representation: Can be drawn or from the computer: Something that represents you/your interests or something that fascinates you in science. On the back write why you chose this (at least 2 sentences) and your name. Put some color in it (should be about the size of an index card)!

Again, enjoy your Thursday off. I continue to look forward to getting to know you all and start on the science material as soon as possible
