We are closing in on a unit test on Chapter 1. We will be testing on Thursday, September 25. Remember to bring your calculators (I will not be sharing mine!)
A few things to remember-
~Don't panic. If you have been attentive in class and taken the notes, you have a good chance of succeeding.
~Show all work (even if you used your calculator-- what did you plug into it?) and don't forget units. If you meant to write 15 grams, but only wrote 15... that could mean 15 of anything, including 15 cats!! I am a teacher, not a mind reader... so write down everything! You could earn partial credit.
~If you don't like your grade, you can come in after school and do test corrections. You will be able to earn half of the points you lost back. For example, if you originally earned a 60, you would be able to earn 20 points back for a new grade of an 80. This is a large improvement! Make sure you bring your class notes, calculator, and loose-leaf paper when you come after school to make corrections.
In other news, we have completed several other labs, such as the Sig Fig measurement lab. As I hand those back, we will tally up our lab minutes and keep them in a folder. Remember the magic number: 1200 minutes to take the Regents!!
Hopefully I will get to meet your parents on Wednesday for Open House!! :-)

Hey Mrs. Mittiga.
This blog is pretty kool.
I agree with the other comments
about adding a homework agenda of
what is due.
I also think it's pretty cool that you allow
test corrections for 20 points.
That should help a lot.
See you in class tomorrow.

Hi Mrs. Mittiga,
Nice blog you've got going on here. I know we all sound like broken records, I think we would all like to see what our home work is on here. Could you also let us know what labs we will be doing soon.
