Hey, I've only had a handful of people interested in meeting this afternoon and most of them are students from this semester so I'm not going to hold a review session. Here is a   link to review material   with some white sheet boxes: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/18liBRONz_oduP4ZTmV2AWHRQb6i_5xxCvMRe0b-fZE8/edit#slide=id.p Also   if you haven't looked at this stuff in a while    I would binge watch APES in a box to get ready for the exam. https://vimeo.com/channels/apesinabox If you are kind of prepared   (Ryan and Hunter for example) and most of the white sheet stuff is still fresh in your head,  I would look at the math review stuff! https://vimeo.com/channels/573122 Good luck to everyone!  Remember to   show units  when you do math and if a question is taking you too long to figure out- skip it and come back if you have time- there are probably a few easy ones you can know out instead!!   

Hey, I thought some of you from last semester might enjoy a little review session before the big day. IF the weather is nice I'm going to drive up to Lineberger Park  (near downtown Gastonia) to do another review session! I'll re-post Sunday by noon to let you know if it's a go. It will depend on the weather and the interest level. IF we meet it will be between 4 and 5 -check the blog before you go :) https://www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review-g49156-d7200412-Reviews-Lineberger_Park-Gastonia_North_Carolina.html

Ok this is 25 minutes (about). It looks like it's wrapping up before the 25 minutes- BUT it's not- continue to watch the entire time. Watch and take notes! It's an old favorite! Bill Nye! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZO2qZF1WB3Y

My 2nd and 3rd block will be on a field trip. Only two students from 3rd period should be in class. Let them study for their test on Wednesday and use this time as a study hall. 4th block is my Biology class. Have them watch the documentary linked below and complete the handout that goes with the documentary. I would let a student sit at my computer and pause the film as needed so they can answer all of the questions. Here is the link to the film: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jqxENMKaeCU

Groups 1 and 2 will be on the bus with Coach Hodge (1) and myself  (2) Groups 3 and 4 will be on the bus with  Lehman (3) and Coach Kubbs (4) We will leave at 7:45 and return no later than 4:30 FIELD TRIP SIGN UP FORM EVERYONE NEEDS TO SIGN UP FOR A TEAM TO WORK WITH ON TUESDAY. WE WILL HAVE 4 TEAMS OF 14.

BRING DRY CLOTHES BRING RAIN BOOTS IF YOU HAVE THEM YOU'LL NEED A WRITING UTENSIL IF IT'S RAINING WE ARE STILL GOING SO DRESS ACCORDINGLY- A  PONCHO MIGHT BE A GOOD IDEA

 MY GMAIL is out of commission at the moment!  So if anyone is trying to get a hold of me I'm afraid you'll have to wait to see me on Monday.  I've informed our IT people of the issue so hopefully we'll be back to normal this week.  I hope you've all had a terrific Spring Break. Just a couple of  reminders:  Your White sheet test, individual and all 8 boxes, will be on Monday. Field trip is still on for Tuesday! If you haven't paid or handed in your consent form yet, please do so on Monday.   Bring your own lunch, bring a change of clothes in case you fall in the water. NO Bathing suits or "inappropriate" clothing.
