November 9 - November 13, 2015

Good Morning Red Team!  This is a gorgeous fall  morning and the beginning of term 2.  Time to push the restart button, and set new goals for term 2.  Are you happy with the way term 1 went or did you find yourself stressed at the end trying to make up work?  Are you using your agenda? With the new schedule it is a little more difficult to plan out your assignments, but if you prioritize the work for the next day first, then work on some of the assignments due the day after, you will be better prepared and more organized.  If you write down work as it is assigned, you can see when assignments are due, then you can plan out your homework routine.  Stay on top of your assignments, and stay for extra help or to do homework on Tuesdays and Thursdays when there are late buses.

This week:
English: Of Mice and Men continues. You have six pages to read and identify incidents of bullying, as well as who is doing the bullying. Other assignments will be posted in class as we go along.

Algebra: Systems of Equations will continue.  We have been working on systems with substitution, and will move into systems with elimination.  Don't forget to check ConnectEd on the days that you don't have class for on-line assignments.

History: Chapter 30 sections 1 and 2 are due this week, along with the first current event for term 2.  The Early Civilizations of India and Pakistan, along with Hinduism and Buddhism are the topics this week.  Chapter 3 sections 4 and 5 have been assigned due next week.  Do some history every night so you stay caught up.

Biology: Homeostasis --keeping the body in balance  now let's see what the Integumentary and Skeletal systems do.  Word Wall quiz for first 8 words will be on Friday, November 13.  Remember to make your flash cards and study.


There is no school on Wednesday, November 11th,  Veteran's Day--a day to remember those who have fought so that we can have freedom.  Take time to remember the sacrifices of those who served our nation and thank a Veteran.
