We are well under way in our study of atoms and elements. Currently we are in Chapter E1. We will have a Quiz on lessons one and two next Wednesday, January 19th.
I have also given a small research project assignment to the students. They will give a short oral report about an element. We drew for the elements so they all know which element they are responsible for. We will begin hearing reports after the quiz next Wednesday. I will give the first report so that I can show them what I expect. It will take us several days to get done with all the reports. As each student gives their report, the other students will take notes and these will be what they will study for an Elements Test at the end of all the reports. I will announce the test date when I know when we will be done with all the oral reports.
If your student has missed my class due to travel or sickness, they need to see me so that I can set up a time to go over the material they missed. I do not think they can read the text and get what I need them to have. Please encourage them to do this immediately so they can get caught up.
