We're Off & Running!!

We've made it through the first week of school and everyone is doing great with their vocabulary quizzes. Remember give anatomy 10-20 minutes of studying/reviewing every night 6 days a week. This will help immensely when it comes to the chapter tests. There is too much to learn and you can't leave it to the night before the test!! Next week is homecoming week and we will be starting our rat dissection-- yikes new students with scapels in their hands. Heaven help me!

Remember the Class rules and be NICE!!

Welcome To The First Week of School!!

School Year 2009-2010

I'm excited to get this first blog started for my Anatomy & Physiology class. We are getting ready for the first week of school and there are currently 17 students enrolled in this class. This is a college prep class that studies the structures of the human body and how they function. Class will consist of lecture (a necessary evil!!), lots of hands on activites & LABS, and study guides with reading assignments. A cumulative final exam will be given at the end of each semester worth 10% of the final grade.
For this class students will need:

1. textbook with an appropriate cover-- I will provide the book and materials to cover the book the first day of class. Students will be expected to bring this book to class everyday.
2. Three ring binder-- I recommend a 1.5-2 inch binder
3. College ruled paper for taking notes
4. Pen or Pencil to write with
5. Colored Pencils-- at least 12 different colors (the more the better!)
6. 3x5 index cards -- optional but these are handy for making review flashcards.

I will try to keep this blog updated every week or so with current assignments and pictures. Please keep coming back for new information!!
