You've heard of "speed dating," but have you heard of Math Speed Dating? Well that's what students attempted this week in Mr. Calhoun's math class!!
Each student was assigned an equation or inequality to master, becoming an "expert" on their specific problem. Once they felt confident & checked their solutions with the teacher, they paired up with classmates in a "speed dating" format. During these quick exchanges, students shared their equations, and if they needed assistance, they could consult their partner who was the expert on that specific problem. At the end of each round, students checked their solutions together to ensure accuracy before moving on to the next partner. This was a fun, student centered approach that not only reinforced their understanding but also encouraged collaboration and communication among peers.
Learning math is fun at Bishop Gorman!!

Blessed Virgin Mary, pray for us!
In August, Bishop Gorman high school students shared the love of Jesus Christ by donating blood to help the sick.
Thank you Carter Blood Drive for the $500 scholarship.
Ms. Angela Carney's Pre-AP Chemistry students are busy measuring solutions and recording their results. A 2014 alumna of Bishop Gorman, Ms. Carney is in her seventh year of teaching and coaching at the school she once attended, and she is beloved by her students. Last year, her AP students performed exceptionally well on the exam, with one student earning a perfect score of 5, the highest possible score. Colleges and universities may accept AP exams for college credit, thus reducing the cost and time to complete college. Please congratulate Angela Carney for excellence in teaching!

World History Comes Alive with Archaeological Excavation
Students learn to uncover the past through hands-on excavation, gaining experience in archaeology and research while deepening their understanding of world history.
Lonnie Glosson’s AP World History classes have been performing an archaeological excavation for more than a decade, enabling students to sharpen their analytical skills. By researching the time period and using the clues they are given, students try to discover what may have happened at their dig site. The skills they acquire help them prepare their museum exhibit and presentation, and also aid them in further research and writing.
AP Scholars with Distinction: 4 (Granted to students who received an average score of at least 3.5 on all AP Exams taken & scores of 3 or higher on 5 or more AP exams)
AP Scholars with Honor: 4 (Granted to students who received an average score of at least 3.25 on all AP Exams taken & scores of 3 or higher on 4 or more AP exams.)
AP Scholars: 9 (Granted to students who received scores of 3 or higher on 3 or more AP exams.)
In addition to these AP scholars, BG had numerous other students earn a score of 3 or more on at least one AP exam.
Congratulations CRUSADERS!!
Bishop Gorman's first week of school began with prayer and culminated in The Feast of the Assumption. At BG, students serve in every capacity--alter server, lector, choir, and presentation of the gifts.
