200-point Question
I have to say, I was quite impressed by all those who tried to solve the question.  Thank you.  I know it's not an easy question to solve.

Only one student was able to solve it.....Aaron, take a bow.  Excellent job.




In class today...

Science:
We wrapped up Phase III of Fed Ex day.  I really like what I'm seeing from the kids from a collaborative aspect.  They seem almost frictionless.  They communicate. Know when to step up. Know when to step down. Are cognizant of each others feelings.  As a person who has always had a strong interest in group dynamics I must say,  I'm very impressed with where they are.  In years past, the first Fed Ex Days were normally very rough, frustrating, and filled with anxiety. 

Of course I do have concerns with a couple group.  A few groups I'm not sure are going to be able to pull off the 'science behind it' piece. 

We'll see, I suppose.

Writing:
Took Wordstudy Test.  Got our Wordstudy List #3 packet.

Math I and II: 
We went over Pearson questions.  It's good to follow up Pearson with some instruction and answer any questions or misconceptions. 

Putting together a powerpoint for next week's presentation.

This is called a Prezi.  It's Powerpoint on steroids.
