Chemistry Regents Day!
I won't have the scantron results until tomorrow/Wednesday morning but I will update this blog with the results as soon as I see them.
I am proud of the way that most of you took the exam:
you "went the distance" by checking your work, making sure that your responses answered exactly what was asked for, and drawing/writing/illustrating/calculating WITH units your predicted answers. That, per se, will get you a higher score than you would have received without such care but also you have the satisfaction of knowing that you tried your best and couldn't have done more; after all, you only take this exam once in your life.
There were a lot of un-eaten bagels at this morning's review session but, as long as you prepared well, that should suffice.
So, I hope to report good tidings tomorrow!
Good luck on your other Regents exams!
p.s. if you forgot your textbook today, email me and then return your text to the Principal's Office.
