Happy New Year! After a blogging hiatus, it's back to the trenches. One of my New Year's resolutions is to keep this blog more accurate and updated.
6th GOAL: We were happy to have two new students in our class today. Welcome! This week, we'll be finalizing topics, doing background research, locating experts, and developing hypotheses for our projects for the Jefferson County Science Fair. Upcoming weeks' Science Fair work will include: 1/21: Hypotheses due, do experiment, take pictures, consult experts; 1/28: Take photos record observations, make graphs, summarize results; 2/4: Finish experiments, complete charts, record all data, write conclusions (this week we'll be doing a lot of typing); 2/11: work on display boards; 2/19: display boards due, practice presentations; Saturday, February 23: SCIENCE FAIR!
7th GOAL: We are just dipping our toes into our History Day projects. This week, we'll be talking about primary resources, we'll be dissecting and analyzing the History Day rules, we'll be looking at project examples, and we'll be brainstorming possible topics for this year's theme: Turning Points in History.
8th GOAL & 8th Critical Concepts: We are working with Project HOPE from the University of Iowa this week to explore Healthcare Career opportunities. Next week, we'll start our 4-year plans for high school.
