Prisms, Prisms, everywhere!

Have you earned your Prism???   2 more weeks of first semester left and we'll be presenting Prisms at Parent Night on the 15th. 

Sister Ottosen and I will be talking with you, to double check that you have everything completed (there are a few items not on our giant checklist).  Some of the biggies...
  • Memorizing the characteristics of a scientist
  • Reading all the books
  • Keeping your Log book
  • 4 Science Experiments
  • Science Fair Project (presented at Parent Night)
Also, Thursday (the 8th) is our Inteligro Math book discussion, and a blue book exam on Core Book Studies.  ***Please bring your Core Book to class with you!*** This isn't a scary exam at all, in fact this is what my binder says about it, "Have students bring their Core book to class and take a one hour exam annotating a chapter of their choice for truth, equations, patterns, and lines of logic.  Use annotations, not essay, unless students choose to do so."  Since you've been studying your Core Book and annotating all semester, this is a piece of cake!

Next week (the 15th), is the Math exam.  If you have been doing the Geometry or Pre-Algebra packets that accompany Pyramid Project, the final exam at the end of the packet is what you'll bring to class and work on.  If you are doing something else for math, please bring an exam that you or your parent have written.  Yep, you can write the exam and then take it in class.  The point of this is for your own growth and understanding, and to show you that your goals have served you well.  There may well be food and time for a bit of a party! 

Adam and Trey, I believe you both still have a presentation to do.  Please be ready on Thursday.  If there's time, we may have them both.  If not, we'll move one of you out to next week.

I'm super excited to see all of your science projects, and to see you earn your Prism!
