Today was the first day of school with students. We met in homeroom for over an hour. I have a senior homeroom this year. I have been their homeroom teacher for now four years and it has been interesting watching the grow up. I think they are about ready to head out into the world!
Genetics - Today we met for about 45 minutes. Got some house keeping things out of the way ... syllabus and expectations. We will hand out books tomorrow, start our review of biology concepts and begin our regeneration lab using planaria.
Selected Topics in Science met for the full time during lunch period. We spent some time getting to know each other. We have a version of the regeneration lab on tap for this class also tomorrow as well as starting our first biology unit.
Introduction to Computer Science - Started on Karel today with some simple programs. I took groups of 4-5 students and walked them through a simple program. We learned how to use the 5 primitive commands of Karel and to bundle these commands to define new instructions. Hopefully we can get everyone able to log on our high school system tomorrow.
... Brought the extractor up from the barn to clean tomorrow. Really need a little rain ... the deer are really hurting my buckwheat crop ... they think its a salad bar.
