Cram Week

This week has been super fun even though we had a test, which really wasn't that bad, it was just really long. Aside from our regular schedule, all the teachers had to cram every possible test and quiz in this week because  we are going to Kanuga next week and have a teacher workday on Friday!


On Monday to review scientific notation, Mrs.G put review cards all over the room for us to convert. She hid them really well to the point where I couldn't find them. This activity helped me better understand scientific notation which helped me a lot on the quiz. On Tuesday we played grudge ball to help review. After the game everyone held a grudge against each other (hence the name). Grudge ball helped me review the vocab. It helped me learn how to use the conversion formulas.


Oh the dreaded test on Wednesday!! Actually the test wasn't that bad, it was just really long and had many time consuming conversions with dimensional analysis. We had to convert a billion seconds into years for crying out loud! On Thursday, as with every test or quiz we reviewed it. After that we started on a new lab on Friday. This lab is going to help us understand physical change and chemical change through a series of small experiments with vinegar and baking soda, and potato and iodine.


I need to improve on checking the what you need to bring to class wall before I get to class because most of the time I'm just guessing what I need for class. I had a great week this week and can't wait until Kanuga. I was so excited that I thought you should at least get a taste of Kanuga at ......
