**If you are presenting two or more elements for your Element Presentation project, they (the elements) do not need to form a real compound. Example: you can present on neon and magnesium, although those two do not bond. I will be asking for your element's name Friday (12/04/09)

I would also like to recognize those classes as a whole that which did a
phenomenal job:
Block One had the most number of A's. There were 16 out of 27 students, or 59% of the class earned a 94 or better for their nine week average. One one student earned a D, but it was only 2 percentage points from a C! First Block...YOU ROCK!
Block Six was the only class full of A's, B's, and C's ONLY! No D's and no F's, you all are great!
In conclusion, I hope I have the opportunity to talk with as many parents as possible during tomorrow's Parent/Teacher's Conference. I will not be available at 2:30-3:15 for I will be visiting with my kids' teachers. If you are unable to to make it and would still like a conference, please email me with any concerns or an appointment time.
Thank you for your parental support, together we will help your child reach their fullest potential in my class!
