12.19.2013 - Catsup/Ketchup (Catch-Up) Day Today!
It doesn’t happen very often in here, but today is officially Ketchup (Catch-up) day. A day to take a deep breath, check your 2nd quarter grade and get caught up if you need to. Below is a checklist of ideas to Catch-up!
1. Correct, finish, or turn-in the Erosion / Weathering Quiz I just gave back
2. Mineral ID Lab
3. Mineral Crossword
4. Mineral Homework from yesterday
5. Any missing assignments? See me
6. Like your current grade of an A or B? then...maybe help someone, find something constructive to work on from this or another class, read, computer time, library time, etc.

A successful Reflection versus a Reflection that could use more thought:
Successful!
Example -
We finished our bridge and it held 5 kilograms for well over a minute. We managed to surprisingly stay just under the budget of $20 given as our budget. We spent a total of 19.75 - just under budget but we found success! Our bridge was very stable because of how we designed it. After some trial and error we decided to include many triangles in our design which we thought would help with the strength. Triangles are a shape that offers tremendous strength because of the way the sides create angles. At first our bridge was pretty weak because we didn't design it well enough but after some changes we decided it needed a thicker base. A thicker base allowed us to put more weight along the bridge. We thought that if our base was strong then the rest of the bridge would be strong as well. After this project I learned that you shouldn't give up and everything can work if you try hard and work together! I also learned about how triangles are a shape of strength and that I'm a good productive partner. I offered many ideas and followed through them. I also was a good listener as I accepted many other views on how to build our bridge. Lastly, I was was effective at making suggestions to my group on who should do what job as I find this kind of work easy and natural for me. It was fun and interesting working on the bridge and I learned how to build a strong bridge even though I had to be under budget. Next time I'd like to expand this idea and create a working draw bridge that would have to cross to small river as I think it would be challenging.
More is needed!
Example -
Our project is getting better and is changing. From the beginning of the project to now we improved much. We found success and learned that the project was hard but interesting.
