Science

We have just finished our electricity unit and will be begining our Weather unit shortly. As I finished my marking I noticed there are still students who have not handed in certain labs. These labs are all over two weeks late and if not returned by friday, students will be recieving a zero. Students are all aware of what they are missing but parents, if you could check bags, bedrooms or binders to ensure this will not happen to your child. Most of these assignments were nearly completed in class so there is no excuse for them not being turned in. hese are the labs I am mising from some students;

• Series/Parallel Symbols Worksheet
• In a Flash
• A Field to Remember
• Short Circuits
• A Magnetic Expirience

Thank you very much!

Math

The students are creating exams as a study tool for their friends. This will help them review while making the exam and while completing someone else's. Our actual in class exam is on Wednesday, April 18, 2007. Here are the requirements for their own exams:

• Pictoral questions to fractions (4)
• Words to fractions (8)
• Equivalent fractions (4)
• Compare fractions (greater than or less than) (3)
• Pick one fraction and give four equivalent fractions. (1)
• Your choice (3)

The students can "decode" these requirements if they seem confusing. Have fun!

Spring Break

I hope everyone is enjoying their time off! I know I am! Relax, have fun and don't even think about school!! I'll see you in a week!!

LA

If you have a bit of extra time, go ahead and finish your Diamante.

Science

Since I have assigned no homework over the holidays, sit back and relax!! Here is your warning; your lab A Magnetic Expirience will be due soon after.

Math

There is no assigned homework for the holidays. Since there is a Fractions final exam on Wednesday, April 18th, I would suggest at least reviewing your fractions. For the best review, look at pages 375-383 in the textbook ( most should have taken them home because we already had this talk in class). Pick the two pages that you need the most help on and see how you do!
