Quiz Next Week
We have been working diligently in class on learning the introductory parts of bonding and nomenclature, which is just the fancy chemistry way of saying 'writing chemical formulas and names'. The students really struggled at the beginning, which is normal, but are really catching on now. It contains several new concepts for them and can be a little rough in the beginning, but I am really proud of their hard work and progress! We will have a quiz over this next Tuesday (October 28, 2014).
Performance Exam - Atomic Structure and Electron Configuration Modeling
Almost everyone has taken their performance exam on atomic structure and electron configuration. Once again, I am so proud of their results! It was the first time most of them had taken a performance exam and it can be a little stressful to stand alone in front of a teacher and be tested. I still have a couple who haven't taken the exam due to absences, etc. Please check infinite campus and see if your child has a blank score for this. If it is blank, they still need to take the exam. Please encourage them to do this quickly before the grade becomes a "0".
