So Long ...

And so we begin where we left off ... don't let the sky be your limit. ;-)

I'm so glad we've had this time together,

Just to have a laugh or learn some math,

Seems we've just got started and before you know it,

Comes the time we have to say, "So Long!"

So long everybody! Watch this space for pointers to new blogs for each of my classes.

Farewell, Auf Wiedersehen, Adieu, and all those good bye things. ;-)

The places you'll go--

You have brains in your head.
You have feet in your shoes.
You can steer yourself
Any direction you choose. --Dr. Suess, Places You'll Go

Seniors, it's almost graduation--what direction are you choosing? Juniors, where are your feet taking you this summer? Wherever you go, be safe!

My very best wishes,
Lani

Exam time!

Your provincial exam is this week. I was thinking on your taking the test and remembering a day some 5 years ago when I was to write an extremely important exam.

I was mindful to get some sleep just prior to the exam and hoping that you will too for this reason:

The bottom line: Teens need 9.25 hours of sleep per night

from Do Teens Get Enough Sleep?

In experiments done at Harvard Medical School and Trent University in Canada, students go through a battery of tests and then sleep various lengths of time to determine how sleep affects learning. What these tests show is that the brain consolidates and practices what is learned during the day after the students (or adults, for that matter) go to sleep. Parents always intuitively knew that sleep helped learning, but few knew that learning actually continues to take place while a person is asleep. That means sleep after a lesson is learned is as important as getting a good night's rest before a test or exam.

from Adolescents and Sleep

At the risk of sounding "mom-ish", have you taken this into consideration in your preparation to be your very best for your test??

On my test day, I was just about to leave for the testing center when I asked my husband to wish me luck. "No," he said, "I won't do that." I was crestfallen. I felt like I needed one last boost before the "big" one.

Then he continued, "You don't need luck. You're smart. You're prepared. You're good. I believe in you. Go out there and just do it!!!! I'll be here when you get back."

It's time for me to pass that forward to you! You don't need luck. You're smart. You're good. You're well prepared (thanks to your hard work and Mr. K). I believe in you. Go out there and just do it!!!!

Scribe

Hello everyone! Sorry again for the late scribe. I just really needed some more time to study before the exam today. Hopefully everyone did a super good job on it! =D


Well, on Friday, if I remember correctly was review for the exam on Logarithms and Exponents, Probability and Trigonometric Identities. The reviews are done the exact same way we do our pretests! All the questions and answers are on the slides. Click here.

The exam is pretty much over so it's kind of a relief for all of us. There's still classes tomorrow!! Scribe for tomorrow shall be.....

HEY GUYS! sorry my scribe was a day late. I had work yesterday and came home very late so anyways I will be the scribe for yesterday and today ... here goes

JUNE 6, 2007: MORNING CLASS

We had an exam rehearsal for Circular Funtions







The answers are pretty straight forward ...

JUNE 6, 2007: AFTERNOON CLASS

We had another exam rehearsal for Combinatories







and again the answers are pretty straight forward ...

JUNE 7, 2007: MORNING CLASS

Yet, Again we had another exam rehearsal for Logarithm. We had a substitute for Mr. K. She didn't really gave us numbers to be in groups so instead we chose our own groups. Everyone worked on it but in the end we found out that we didn't have to hand it in. The answers are not up yet but I'm pretty sure Mr. K will put it up sometime later tonight. Well that's all for now and the scribe for tomorrow's class is .... SANDY!
