Last blog post for a bit...
We did itttt!
This will be your last blog post for a while...I'll definitely update with some baby pictures and info, and I'll also keep you updated on any days I'll be back to say hi! Otherwise there won't be any homework updates or anything, but check back periodically...I might just have to post b/c I miss you all so much!
Of course I am excited to start a new chapter in my life--being a dad, which is crazy--but this is definitely a bitter sweet moment. I'm excited that today's my last day of school, but I"m also going to miss you guys so much!
As I told you all already, you are an awesome group of people. I'm so proud of you for all you've accomplished and for how much you've grown. The future is in good hands with you all. If my son grows up to be like any of you I'll be a lucky dad.
On Monday Mr. Mason takes over--you will be learning some new stuff and looking at some ideas we've learned throughout the year. Stay focused and do all of your work! This should be an opportunity to earn some A's and B's and boost your fourth quarter average, as long as you pay attention and do what you're supposed to do! Don't be lazy and ruin your grade--you've worked to hard to do that now!
I wish you all the best of luck. Email/Remind me any time if you need anything!

We did it!
Right now you are about to start you AP exam (the time on this post is inaccurate...)
And I have the utmost confidence in each and everyone one of you. As I told you today (and in yesterday's post), I am incredible proud of each and everyone one of you. It was a privilege to be your teacher this year, and I appreciate all of your hard work and sacrifice!
Tonight....relax! No more Stats homework, no more of me harassing you to push yourself harder....take a deep breath and reflect on all of the work you've done this year. Be proud of yourself. You earned that.
Please remember to bring your stamps tomorrow! We'll start class with a little video about AP Stats, then we'll count up our stamps and turn them in! Please don't forget! After that we'll reminisce a little bit--I am going to miss you guys!
You can also bring in your textbook and any calculators you signed out tomorrow so that you have one less thing to worry about!
I can't wait to see you all tomorrow! Have an amazing night!

It's tomorrow....
Tomorrow is the big day!
We have come so far and worked so hard since our first days of the Summer Academy back in August. I am so proud of each and every one of you for how hard you have worked and all that you've learned. I have demanded a lot from you, both inside the class and out; sometimes I was a jerk to you, but know that I was always trying to push you to do your best.
Tomorrow is a huge measure of our progress throughout the year. All I ask is that you put forth maximum effort to prepare yourself for tomorrow's exam, and then, tomorrow, you give 110% effort on this test. All we can do is our best! Don't overly stress, don't put too much pressure on yourself, and don't worry about your score--just prepare yourself to succeed and do the best you can tomorrow!

Exam Info:
- Eat lunch during period E!
- You can either come to our classroom and we can head to the cafe, grab some food, and come hang out in 101 until the test..
- Or you can eat lunch in the cafe and enjoy some time with your friends...
- You must report to the exam room @ 11:30--be aware that this is before the end of the lunch period, so keep an eye on the clock!
- Bring a graphing calculator tomorrow! Borrow a friend's if you have to!
- Do not rely on using one of mine; I only have about 12, which isn't very many, so be sure to bring one!
- Get a good night's sleep tonight!
- The worst thing you can do is stay up until 2 a.m. studying; be well rested for tomorrow afternoon so you're not groggy during test time!
- Eat breakfast and eat lunch before the test!
- Food for thought! :)
- You will be testing until 3:30 - 4:00! Schedule work/rides accordingly.
- No blank questions tomorrow!
- Even if you're stuck on a free response, try something! No blank questions!
- Of course don't leave any multiple choice blank!
- Read all of the free response before you start the test! Do the questions you're most confident about first!
- Be sure to leave yourself at least 20 minutes for the investigative task! (#6)
- Same for the multiple choice--don't get stuck spending too long on one question! If you're stumped, skip it, and then come back to that question at the end! But don't leave anything blank!
- Keep an eye on the clock! Pay attention to your time!
- USE ALL OF YOUR TIME! No putting your head down and quitting if you finish early! Use any extra time to look over the tough questions--and don't just look over them, re-work them out! Make sure your calculations are correct!
