Kirtland's Kapsule: April 2011

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 finished our lesson on "Sound" so we will have a Lesson 2 quiz on MONDAY. We have one more lesson in this chapter and will be ready for a CHAPTER TEST on FRIDAY. This is such a busy time of year for all of us so the best thing you can do to help your student is to encourage them to study a little each night.

My Bible class will have a Lesson 27 Quiz on Wednesday of next week. Have a great weekend.
