Every day after you write your homework in your agenda, you will do a “warm up” activity.
This will “warm up” your brain and get you ready for the day’s material.
Today’s “Warm Up”
Turn to your table partner, introduce yourself, and answer 3 questions.
1) What was your favorite part of summer track out?
2) What is your favorite thing about science?
3) If you could have any superpower, what would it be?
A Little About MeMy favorite part of summer track out was July 4th! Food, fireworks, and fun times with family and friends!!
My favorite part about science is learning about nature.
If I could have any superpower, it would be teleportation.
A Little About MeI went to NCSU for my B.S. in Fisheries and Wildlife Science, and then again for my MAT. GO PACK!!
I lived on a sheep and goat farm for 2 years.
My favorite thing to do outside of school is to cycle country roads…so when you get your learner’s permit in 3 years, don’t hit me!! :P
