First and foremost, "Back-To-School Knight" happens on Monday, Sept. 9th, beginning at 6:00. Mr. Hatfield's students and parents are encouraged to attend. There will be a sign-in sheet for parents and guardians, and students will earn extra credit if they are represented. Parents will receive information about Mr. Hatfield's expectations for Lecture (Cornell Notes) and for doing homework (The RA). Obviously, if these items are what Mr. Hatfield emphasizes at "Back-To-School Knight", then these are the items that are important for students to know as well.
STUDENTS: Make sure you know how to complete notes Cornell Style, and how to answer questions on the Required Assignments!
On Tuesday, Sept 10th, there will be a Study Session after school in Room N-63, from 3:15 to 4:45. Students who attend will receive extra credit in the course for participating, and have their questions answered about what to expect on their first Unit Test. A Study Guide will be given out to all students to help them prepare prior to Tuesday's class.
STUDENTS: Please consider planning ahead and attending the Study Session. It will be on a "first come, first served" basis and there will be a signup sheet.
On Wednesday, Sept. 11th, Mr. Hatfield's Biology classes will have their first Unit Test. The topics covered will included scientific method, the metric system, the hypothesis, lab safety, how to design experiments, scientific notation and atomic structure. Students may need additional time to complete the test. On test days, Mr. Hatfield will be in his room during lunch and after-school so that students who need additional time can complete the test.
STUDENTS: Make sure you plan your time ahead and keep lunch or after-school "in play", so that if you need the additional time, you are prepared!
Finally....so that parents and students have a "road map" for the present unit, here is the syllabus for Unit 1. Students previously received this in class but it is good for all of us to be "on the same page" where time management is concerned....
