Its the end of the year and I have truly enjoyed having these students in class.   Some days were rough, but others were great.   My favorite days were the ones, when the light went on above their heads and I knew they "GOT IT". 

I have learned a lot and cannot wait until next year!

Have a great summer!

Not to be left out, the Chemistry class had to research careers in science.   Instead of a slide presentation, they created 4 minute videos and recruitment flyers.  Their video had to include a company logo of a company that employs that job, and cost of living for the location of that company.

We want the students to be ready for a fresh new year, in August.   By completing these  packets over the summer, the students will be one step ahead and ready for the new school year.   

​These packets were handed out before school was out to each student.   

They don't need to be completed all at once (unless they wait to the last minute).   

These are REQUIRED and will be added to the grade book on the 2nd day of school.   Don't start the year off with a ZERO in the grade book.

​The final presentation project for year, was to create a presentation on a Math Career.   Requirements included:  minimum 10 slides long, a company that employs that career, and cost of living in the location of that company.

Oh no!   Did you hear?   Mrs. Flint drank her water, then felt funny and the next thing she knew she was in her chair, tied up, blindfolded, and a note was found taped to her!   But don't worry, the Chemistry Class has been studying Forensic Chemistry and we can solve the case.

We have ditched the textbooks and are working on a few projects til the end of the year.  Second hour has 9th & 10th grade students and the first project required to design a house and create a sales pitch.

Their house had to meet the following requirements:
           · 2000—3000 ft2
           · Must have 2 bedrooms and 1 bath (MINIMUM), but can have more
           · Must have a kitchen, living room, and garage
           · Must have a special feature (walk in closet, man cave, game room, fireplace etc.)

We have ditched the textbooks and are working on a few projects til the end of the year.  The 7th & 8th grade classes created a book "ABC's of Math" during Stanford Testing for their first project.   The 2nd project for the 7th & 8th graders was to Design a Farm.   

Students had to determine what crops or animals they wanted on their farm.   Then had to create an animal pen or crop field with a minimum diameter and minimum area for each.
