This week we will complete the unit on Nouns. The Unit Test will be given Friday. Homework each night is to study. Spiral #3 will be given out on Monday and is due by Friday. Please check over your child's work before they turn it in.

This week we will work on the Archaebacteria and Eubacteria Kingdoms. Students should have 20 blank notecards in class for Wednesday. The test will be given on Tuesday, September 28.

Please note that during this chapter I am demonstrating for the students how to make study notecards. After this chapter, I will not require students to create notecards in class. If they decide that this is a good way for them to study, then they will have the skills to create cards at home.

Homework each night is to review notes for test 3.

Mass on Friday. Don't forget mass uniform and Food Bank Donations.

Orange sheets from Homeroom Reps due by Friday if you wish to volunteer.
