APHG - Daily agenda (2018-2019)

Exam Review day Field trip!

5/27/2019

0 Comments

 
During the Exam Review Day (Tues/Wed.) your APHG class will be going on a field trip to the Woodlands Waterfront Park. 

​It will be HOT so bring water and sun protection (i.e., sunscreen, hat).

You will have a concept "scavenger hunt" to complete.  It is worth a "summative" score.  For some of you that are within 1 point of the next grade level, this could make the difference in your final grade for the semester.  

Please meet your class at the HS steps at the start of class--we will depart promptly at the start of your APHG block.

Don't be late!!!

B3:  Tuesday, May 28th.  We will depart promptly at 12:10pm
A4: Wednesday, May 29th. We will depart promptly at 10:15am
A2: Wednesday, May 29th. We will depart promptly at 1:40pm
