The Mustang Minute
January 25, 2019 - Issue 19
Performance
This week my grade 8 science teachers had some fun with the periodic table. They created escape rooms for their students that required some serious knowledge of the periodic table combined with the ability to solve puzzles. I'm sorry to say I may have been trapped for life with those requirements!
It was a weird weather week but we are definitely in winter! Have a wonderful and warm weekend!

Science Extras
Chromebook Tips Update
- Remind students that NOTHING should be stored inside their Chromebook case (except their Chromebook) when they close it with other items inside, it cracks the screen.
- Try to keep the battery level above 10% dropping below can cause a hard shut down which can be difficult to restart and recharge.
- Bring those earbuds!
- Charge EVERY night!
