Week One Lesson Plans

Chemistry I - Week of 8/17 – 8/18  - These half-days are centered on the student.  The ones I know and the especially the new ones.  I would like to know about their expectations of the course and get to know the new ones better through a questionairre.  We will also go through the obligatory paperwork concerning rules and behavior so that the student understands what I expect of them.  I prefer to work with my students and their parents as a team for a successful year.  These are early dismissal days 11:30.
