Calm in the midst of the storm?

The AP class is almost done with the academic portion. The students had the first part of their final last Tuesday. Tomorrow is the second half. (Multiple choice, followed by tomorrow's written portion). Monday, May 10th, will be the AP exam itself. Their first treat after the AP is a chance to relax and watch "Armageddon" - the world's silliest movie. It it both enjoyable and ridiculous. I picked it because the physics in it is truly absurd. What a great way to end a tough academic slough!

Unfortunately, this spring has had so many interruptions, it's been hard to get through much of anything. The "Virtual Business" class had a week in New York, the band had at least two trips to the San Francisco area, the sports teams keep leaving (earlier now that they're in the play-offs). I'm leaving out day trips - an APES field trip to somewhere (an un-environmental field???), an AP English trip to the LA library, other AP exams, State exams, assemblies, illnesses - I'm sure there were other things. The end result was that I feel that the last section of AP Physics really didn't get covered was well as it should. Sigh. The next two days, I'll be at school so that the students can do their make-ups for the final. My goal is that all of them finish all of their exams BEFORE the AP itself. Here goes nothing! It's like herding cats.
