Our last school week of 2010!

It is amazing how fast this year has gone so far, isn't it? Let's make this week very productive so we can leave for holiday break on a good note!

This week in Math we will be finishing up our unit on "Stretching and Shrinking". We will have a review for Investigation 5 as well as a quiz (take-home -- if you don't return it, it will be a zero!!!). Then we will review all the major concepts in the book as well as have a test on the entire book before break. It is very important to study hard for this test, since it is the first major test of the trimester!

In Science we are going to finish looking at the materials needed to make a computer, including the waste that is produced. We will then look at different ways to dispose possibly hazardous materials that are created when a computer is manufactured to see if any of them are more safe than others.

In Advisory it is expected that students are done with their math section (I did a check-in on Friday and all but 1 person had theirs -- if you were absent Friday, you can either email it to me or have it to check in on Monday). This week you should be working on personal qualities. Remember, feel free to use the options given on the checklist, or if you think of something else you'd like to do, just make sure to get it approved by me first! Check-in for personal qualities will be on Friday!

I hope everyone is enjoying the snow (and being safe if you have to go out in it!). See you tomorrow!
