Science: Students did the Milky Way Tectonic lab today!  About 37 students did the alternate assignment due to not doing their study guide (when they had ample time to do it over break/work in class on it before and after break). Some students haven't done any work this week (Bell ringers or Study Guides) and this isn't a good way to start the semester! The lab/alternate assignment is due MONDAY and the test is tomorrow! Homework: Tonight study for the test tomorrow! Study guides are due again for more credit!

Hello! Here are your class updates:

Science: Today students turned in their study guides. Quite a few students will not be doing the lab tomorrow due to not doing the study guide in the first place. Doing a lab is a privilege and the alternate assignment will be worth as many points as the lab. Students could also come in to check out a copy of the study guide answers (they used them in class). Tomorrow is the lab so students need to study for the test Friday! No school tomorrow? Test is still Friday!

WV Studies-  Today we talked about their goals and how preparation for their last test didn't match many of their goals ( 1-A, 1-B, 3-c's, 8-D's and the rest failing grades)  We did an exercise on how to write a good test essay question answer, and then frayer models for vocabulary on coal.  no homework today.
