Good afternoon!
This week, students will complete our topic (Mitosis/Meiosis). The assignments for the week are:
Monday - Students will complete a Cells and Organelles Study guide assignment.
Tuesday - We will complete the lab activity for Mitosis/Meiosis. For homework, students will complete their lab activity worksheets and turn in tomorrow.
Wednesday - Students will have a Study Island assignment over Mitosis/Meiosis today. For homework, students will complete the Study Island assignment on Mitosis/Meiosis.
Thursday - Students will have a chance to review the key concepts of Mitosis/Meiosis in small groups and have one-on-one tutoring with Mrs. Dickson, if needed. As homework, students will receive an extra practice assignment to complete. All assignments from the week are due Friday.
Additional Notes: Students have been given Topic Worksheets that have all of the assignments for each topic. Assignments are split into Week 1 and Week 2. The purpose of this worksheet is for students to keep track of the assignments they have completed, the score they received, or whether they still need to complete the assignment. Please check this worksheet daily to see if students are completing their assignments. I will send home a grade check every Friday, and this needs to be signed by a parent and returned every Monday.

Good afternoon, All!
This week, we are working on getting to know classroom rules and procedures, as well as lab safety. All students have received a course syllabus for my class, and the back page must be completed and returned no later than Friday, August 2nd to receive credit. Assignments are as follows:
Monday: Setting up interactive science journal (please finish numbering notebook pages up to 100. The periodic table handout should be glued to page 3)
Tuesday: Complete the lab safety contract and have a parent/guardian read and sign. There was also a Science safety rules worksheet that was started in class. If the student didn't finish it in class, it needs to be completed as homework.
Wednesday: Students were given a list of vocabulary words for the first unit of study and were asked to copy them starting on page 60 of their interactive science journals. They should spend at least 30 minutes each evening reviewing these words.
Thursday: Students were given a Student and Parent Handbook that must be reviewed and signed by parents. This page is due by Friday and will count for credit.
Additional Notes:
- Students are expected to have their Science Journal and Student Planner/Agenda every day. They are expected to record activities done in class and homework assignments. Please review the planners daily to make sure that students are completing assignments in a timely manner.
- ALL HOMEWORK FOR THE WEEK IS DUE BY FRIDAY. NO EXCEPTIONS. NO LATE WORK WILL BE ACCEPTED.
