BSHS 2017-2018 Week 1:
Welcome Back!
It's our first week of classes back from Summer! Tuesday was all about Seating Charts and Book Cards and Syllabi and the Original Sound Track of a A Beautiful Mind playing in the background. I tried posting everything I could on Edmodo so as not to kill trees and have time to start a lesson! PreCalc and AP Calculus BC were amazed by SAGE. AP CompSci almost managed to log into the server from class, begin HelloWorld.java!
Wednesday was our first YouTube Wednesday. Of course, we had to start with Tom Lehrer's New Math with an explanation of base 8 numbers and positional arithmetic!
I know it's not YouTube Wednesday, but Thursday I had to start with the "Frozen PreCalc" Filk by one of my students. She wrote this filk to show that even though you may struggle at first in this class, there is hope if you work at it!
Friday was a regular day of class but we did celebrate Star Trek Day 9/8/17. This day marks the 51st anniversary of the live broadcast of the first ever Star Trek episode on a Thursday night on NBC at 8:30 pm! I am told that I saw it live when I was 4 years old....
OK, here's some of the handouts from the first day:
Well, that's all folks!
