Weekly Update Dec. 17th-20th

It's midterm week. On Monday and Tuesday we will be reviewing material from the entire semester, from dimensional analysis to energy conversions. Students will have a review packet due on Tuesday. Also due on Tuesday will be the roller coaster project Technical Report packet.

The midterm schedule is different for Freshman Experience students as compared to the rest of the school. On Wednesday, students will take their D block midterm followed by their C block midterm, both in the regular 65 minute class time. That will be followed by a 115 minute final in their 4th block/elective class. On Thursday, they will have the same schedule in the morning, B block midterm followed by A block, and then we will be showing a movie for the last period of the day.

I will be holding tutorial every night this week after school until 4:30 or later as needed. It is recommended that any and all students see me after school who need help completing their review and/or roller coaster project. Have a good week and a safe holiday season.

Chaperones needed for Dec. 11th and 13th - Tuesday and Thursday

All the freshman physics classes will be building model roller coasters for our end of semester project. All four of my physics classes will be in one place at one time (either in the gym or at the REC). All of the freshman teachers will be helping with this project, but we are asking for help from some parents to be chaperones for this event. The event happens on Tuesday, December 11th and Thursday, December 13th from 8:30 AM until 2 PM. Even if you can help for part of the day, we would appreciate any help you can provide. Please e-mail me (bboettcher@csdecatur.net) if you are interested in helping.

Thank you.
