Physics

The 5-6th graders began a new science book today. We had wrapped up our final chemistry lab last week and have moved on to physics! Some of my students are more excited than others. I think I enjoy the chemistry content better, but the physics labs are much easier to set up. 

The 7-8th graders had three girls from MLC speak to their class about the semester they studied abroad. The girls went to different places: London, Ireland, and Germany. It was very interesting, but my students were very quiet and didn't ask many questions. We wrapped up after about a half an hour then had study hall time instead of bells. No one was sad about that.

The battle has begun to get late work turned in before the end of the day on Friday. That is the official end to quarter two of the school year and everything has to be turned in. Next week, we have the same rule: everything turned in or you can't play in the Lakefield basketball tournament. That lights a fire under some of them!
