I am recommending/requiring a number of my students to sign up for the Harker Math Competition. No 8th graders had signed up and we have lots of high performing math students. The competition is on March 1 and students and parents can contact Ms Austin and Ms Leknes about details
Miniatures Club - We will be playing some board games this week and learning about painting miniatures.
Vacation next week. I will be visiting Santa Rosa to see my wildflowers. Remember that the yearbook is looking for pictures from your vacation.

Agenda February 12
1 Test Acids and Bases
We had a nice meeting with the Fremont HS Biology teachers yesterday. I appreciate their move to grading rubrics since I know those are difficult. I was sorry to see them drop the standard lab report format. Their reasoning related to the AP Biology Test questions and what that test looks for. I think that being able to describe how to do an experiment has other applications in life such as cooking, raising children, and asking for a raise.
Today the FHS and HHS counselors met with 8th graders which threw off the morning schedule. Tomorrow there is a drama assembly for 8th graders which also throws off the schedule. Students will need to make their own arrangements to make up today's test.
Yesterday was my wife's birthday. We went to Scratch in Mountain View. Castro St is really a jumpin' place mid week.
