13th Week of School
I hope everyone had a wonderful and relaxing Thanksgiving.
The Detroit Piston Assembly was today.
Today in science class we discussed biomes there was also a review worksheet with chart and map given for classwork/homework. I scanned the chapter’s sections if needed.

Also, I am scheduling the Geography quizzes and test… the fill-in U.S. map quiz of the mid-west & north-east regions will be December 8th, the fill-in U.S. map quiz of the south & west regions will be December 14th and the Unit Test on Chapter 8 will be most likely December 20th. I also would like a Science Test on Climate & Weather on December 13th.

9th Week of School Continued
The 1st quarter ends today.
We had our science test on Chapter 6 yesterday and I will have all of those checked, recorded and posted by tomorrow morning. Since the quarter ended today and grades are due for teachers on Tuesday I am offering retakes (anything below a C+) this Monday (Nov. 6th) at either 7:00 AM or at 3:05 PM in my classroom. Therefore, students need to look on the student connect this weekend to decide if they are going to take advantage of that opportunity or not.
Chapter 5 Energy Sections 1, 2 & 3 & 6 Heat Lesson Sections 1, 2 & 3
It is ONLY on Chapter 6 (not chapter 5).
Thank you… have a great weekend and I look forward to seeing many of you for Parent/Teacher Conferences November 13th & 14th.
9th Week of School
HaPPy HaLLoWeeN!
The Chapter 6 Science Study Guide is due tomorrow. It was assigned last week on Friday and time was given on it during class. We will be reviewing tomorrow in class.
The Unit Test is Thursday.
Final typed revisions form the C.E.R. on “Climate Change in the Mid-West” from the NEWSELA article is due Friday.
The 1st Quarter ends this Friday. Please be sure to get anything missing to me by then for at least half-credit.
Parent/Teacher Conferences in two weeks.
8th Week of School
The 1st quarter is fast coming to an end (November 3rd) and parent/teacher conferences will soon be there after. I hope students and parents are constantly checking grades and e-mailing teachers whenever there is an issue. Do not wait till the last minute. I did send out Progress Reports last week for any student with a C- or below and asked that those get signed and returned.
I am going to try to have a science test next week on Thursday for Chapter 6 “Heat & Heat Technology”.
The PBIS Cider & Donuts is this Friday at 7:30 AM this Friday. You will need three Eagle Etiquette tickets to attend.
Halloween is next Tuesday!

7th Week of School
I was not in school today.
There is a LATE start this Wednesday.
We had our first geography test last week on iLearn. They and many other assignments have been posted on the portal recently as of today. Please check that on a regular basis. I am going through grades and I have more lower grades then I would like too.
I am attaching the Geography Power Point for Chapter 2 “The World in Spatial Terms”. I don’t believe we will have another test before the end of the quarter in geography, but I am planning on having one in science (probably November 2nd)
