At the start of class, I checked off A#10 for completion, followed by discussion of the MS question and practice #6.  Finally we did the A#10 check-in.

Then we started A#11 by doing the ChemCatalyst and I handed out a graph needed to complete the lesson.  We will continue with A#11 on Friday.

Today, we went over the table for A#9 to make sure everyone feels good about filling out the table. Then we had work time to finish A#9, I checked it off, and we did the A#9 check-in.

I also handed out additional practice/review for a quiz that will be on Tuesday (4th, 5th)/ Wednesday (3rd, 6th).  Students were told to choose at least 5 problems where the element name is not already given, and to choose a total of 10 problems. We will go over the answers on Monday and I'll collect it on Tuesday/Wednesday.

Thursday, January 5th

Today we started lesson A#9.  We did the ChemCatalyst and Analysis #1-5 together.  Then I handed out a data table and assigned the rest of the lesson, including the rest of analysis, making sense, stretching, practice and writing to learn.  I will give about 20 minutes on Friday to work on it before I check it off.

3rd and 6th periods


Today in class, I checked off lesson A#8.  While I did that, students checked their grades on Skyward and made a list of missing assignments.  The semester ends in 3 weeks, so please be aware of what is needed to have the grade you'd like.

Next, we reviewed the Simple Atomic model and its parts and then did the check in question for A#8.
