For the last week you have been relying on the teacher and your fellow classmates to get notes, complete assignments, and otherwise function in the classroom. Today, we will begin implementing part of the independence we discussed on the first day of class. After you complete the warm up you’ll be going over new information on Significant Figures using Voicethread. Follow the directions below and ask questions when they arise.

1. Download the handout from the Docs page, from this link, or get the hard copy from the cart.
2. Open your Voicethread App. Click ‘Search’ at the bottom. Then type in ‘Kubuske’ as the key word.
3. Click on the’ Significant Figures’ presentation.
4. Follow the directions on the presentation & notes taking notes in Cornell style.
5. When you’re finished, complete the practice problems.

Remember, we’re on shortened periods for the Welcome Back Assembly this afternoon so don’t waste time.

Good Luck and hope to see you at Ben Davis supporting your team tonight!

We’ll be on an adjusted schedule today for our first schoolwide Mass of the year. The schedule will be posted in the classroom. Each class will be 33 minutes.
While in class, we’ll be doing an exercise called read-share-& compare. You will need a version of the textbook (iBook, eBook, or Hardback) and if you are planning on using your iPad for the activity you will need to download the document from dropbox here or on the Semester 1 Docs Page.

We’ll be beginning or investigation of Chemistry by learning how to make accurate and precise measurements based on given information or utensils. The notes/lecture can be viewed and reviewed using your voicethread app or by going to the ‘Semester 1 Notes’ at the top of this page.

Welcome back to another great year at Cathedral High School. I’m very much looking forward to communicating with you, providing opportunities for personal growth, and most importantly working with you to learn as much as possible about the discipline of Chemistry.

By now you have completed the process of downloading a lot of the necessary software or apps to help you navigate through this class. The next part of today’s activity involves familiarizing yourself with your classroom and the procedures we will follow to complete tasks while in the classroom.

I’m going to describe some steps for you to take which may include getting out of your seat to move about the room.
First, locate the grey rolling cart with a stack of papers and a dropbox of folders on it. This is Mr. Kubuske’s classroom cart. On the cart is an activity I would like you to complete. In order to complete the activity, you will need to go to the page titled “Semester 1 Docs”. There, you will find a link to a PDF version of our classroom procedures you will need to download and open. If completed during class time, you will turn it in in the assignment in to the dropbox of folders in the appropriate period’s folder (i.e. if you’re in second period, it goes in the folder marked “2”). If not completed during classtime, it is considered homework and is due tomorrow and should be placed in the dropbox by the beginning of class.

You will learn more in the coming days and weeks on all the features of this website, but for now, refer back to the “First Day of School” handout you received from Mr. Kubuske and enjoy the rest of your first day back!
