Welcome

Welcome to 2nd semester. We have covered a lot of ground and have a lot more to do. I am very pleased with the progress the students made during first semester. I want you to know that all their hard work will serve them well this semester as we undertake the study of physical science.

Our first topic is chemistry. As always, it is important that they know their vocabulary words so they can learn the concepts as they are presented in class. Having an understanding of the vocabulary really gives them an advantage as they come to class and we discuss different topics. I would like for them to show understanding of the word instead of just being able to give me the book definition. It is also very important that students spend some time each evening studying their notes and vocabulary. They do not have to spend more than a few minutes -- whatever it takes for them to go over the material, but the consistency is important.

If you have any questions for me, you can reach me through the school email or I have given all my students my phone number. Do not hesitate to call me. If you do not reach me, just leave a message and I will return your call.

We have a busy week coming up. I want everyone to be prepared so here are a few things you should know:

  • Monday we will have a Vocabulary Quiz that covers all the Chapter vocabulary. (There is a list on page C2). My Bible class will have a Lesson 8 quiz.
  • We will be taking ITBS tests on Tuesday and Wednesday. Students will need to arrive at school well rested and having had a good breakfast. They may bring a snack for break time. Each student needs to have at least two number 2 pencils and a calculator. We will dismiss at 12:15 on these days.
  • Thursday we will review for the Chapter Test.
  • Friday there will be a TEST on Chapter C1. Please encourage your students to study all week for this test. A little each night will go much further than a lot Thursday evening. I would suggest a lesson per night before Thursday and then they will just have to review everything Thursday.
I will be posting new Camp Cosby information very soon. The plans and preparations are well under way for our trip. Pray for God's blessing and good weather.
