Hello Everyone!
Welcome to the Physics First Blog for Hall-Dale HS! I hope that this will serve as a record of our achievements throughout the year, and as a communication tool for students, parents, and myself. Its my intent to post homework assignments, overviews of what we are doing in class, discussions of standards based grading, and more.
It is my goal that this be a "first stop" for information relating to class. I will keep it updated with current homework assignments every two days. We are currently transitioning to a new school information system - in the short term I will not be putting assignments on First Class.
Some course information:
Instructor: Truax McFarland
Contact Information:
622 6211 x 315 during the day
549 7079 nights and weekends (I don't mind - feel free to call me for help/clarification of assignments)
tmcfarland@halldale.org
Extra Help Times:
I am available 7:30to 7:50 am Monday through Thursday, and from 2:30 to 3:00 pm Monday, Tuesday and Thursday, in addition to the school's normal intervention period.
I invite you to post comments or questions, however we must follow school confidentiality rules, and avoid identifying student's pictures by name, as well as posting any personal information, or material not related to school. Thank you!
Materials Needed:
A calculator of some kind is desirable - scientific is preferred, but I have some to loan, and students have access to them on their computers, so this is not essential.
A place to write observations, data, and sketches. A spiral notebook is fine, as is a sketchbook or space in a three ring binder.
Next up - a homework assignment!
