Week of December 5 - 9, 2011

Tuesday HW
1.  Novel Study questions up to the half way point in the novel by Thursday.  Students can take the books home but they must return them each day for in-class work.
2.  Please bring in food drive items or money for our school effort.
3.  Trading partners research is ongoing and should be in class everyday. 

Several students have no materials at all for the Trading Partners work for consecutive days now, and are relying on the laptops for research gathering.  This means that little time is spent making notes or creating the powerpoint in class.  There is a risk of falling behind with such a strategy.  Students were reminded today that books are also valuable sources of information which are not reliant on printers and inkjet cartridges for their availability.  We have a Library period on Thursday and students are strongly encouraged to look for books to sign out on that day.  Be sure to have all of your books returned so you can sign new ones out.

Monday HW
1.  Math HW Book pp. 60-61.
2.  Math Quiz Unit 4, Lessons 6 and 7 tomorrow.
3.  Please bring in food drive items for our school effort.  Thank you!
4.  Novel Study questions -- to the halfway point of your novel by Thursday.

About 15 students attended Homework Club today at lunch.  Chess Club forms  (every Tuesday at lunch) were handed out today.  The Chess Club begins next Tuesday December 13.
