Stars...

Today we talked briefly about stars. We talked about some characteristics of stars, including temperatures of stars, the distance of stars and the composition of stars. We learned why stars are different colors and why stars seem to shift their position from summer to winter. We have a quiz tomorrow that covers everything that we have learned to date. We will also be talking about lab safety and the my rules when we do labs in my classroom.

We have also been having some issues with some of the students in my 3rd hour Earth Science class not coming into the room respectfully, and not respecting the other students right to learn in the class. One student will be having their parent called tomorrow, and starting next week I will begin excluding students that cannot behave in a social setting from class. Unfortunately, I have no other choice. There are too many students that are coming to class to learn to let the behavior of a few students disrupt that. Students have been warned and will be held to the standards of my classroom.
