Reteach--Atoms and the periodic table
We want you to KNOW this and be able to put it to use in your high school classes, later in life, and on the TAKS test. Because our current benchmark scores showed that some students were not confident in these major areas, we are spending the next couple of days reteaching and retesting to be sure students have mastered these concepts.
Feb. 5/6--***I will be at a conference and the students will complete these activities with a Substitute. Please email me with any questions and I will clarify.***
