SHEA'S WEEKLY SCHEDULE 6/11-15 A DAY:  M, W. F French Chemistry (Adv Weight Lifting) B DAY: l Tu, Th US History Algebra II English (Choir) What Happened Monday: French - Shea handed in her missing journal entries but left her impressionist drawing at home.  She plans to see Ms. Bender Tue morning (even though she doesn't have her class) and hand it in.  Shea admitted that she hasn't started her final exam project so she will have to really buckle down on this assignment to get back on track.  With the volume of work she's had her situation is understandable. Chemistry - I needed to drop off a check for Shea's lunch account so I got to see Shea right after the Quad Quiz.  She was not encouraged.  She said the quiz only at two questions, and both look a little foreign to her (this after 5-6 hours of studying Th and Su).  She ran me through one of the problems which, if she remembered it correctly, she got right.  She was worried b/c she spoke w

SHEA'S WEEKLY SCHEDULE 6/4-8 B DAY:  M, W. F US History Algebra II English (Choir) A DAY:  Tu, Th French Chemistry (Adv Weight Lifting) What Happened Thursday: French - Substitute teacher as most of Ms. Bender's class went on a field trip.  Shea still needs to hand in her drawing and 3 journal entries Chemistry - Shea said Mr J postponed the Quad Quiz until Monday b/c most of the class was not prepared.  Shea understands most concepts but is struggling with the material referenced in an email I sent to Mr. Juhl Fri morning: Wed night I helped Shea study for the Quad Quiz but she said it was moved to next Monday.  She is doing fairly well with Solubility Curves and Percentage by Mass when the amount of solution is given in grams.  She is struggling with Molarity, but I think I understand it well enough to help her this weekend.   Shea and I are struggling a little on determining Percentage by Mass when the solution amount is given in liters or mL.
