Monday October 27, 2008

Today in SCIENCE we:

• Did Current Events - should be an easy 5% of your grade, you just have to be ready.
• Got vocabulary #14. Handed in vocabulary #12 & 13.
• Up to vocabulary #13 should be complete and in your vocabulary duotang, this should be left in the classroom at all times. This should have been another easy 5% of your grade.
• Reviewed lockdown procedures. There is a greater possibility of a real lockdown than a real fire. You need to take this seriously, if you endanger your classmates, you will be sent into the hallway - which is not a safe place to be during a lockdown.
• Got the Data for the Inquire on p231 - this is due on Wednesday.
• Finished our station for the environmental recovery project. Based on your data & your report, do you think I would hire you again?
• Pop Quiz on Wednesday.
  

What do you think of your behaviour?
What about your work ethic?

I am very disappointed. You should be proud of your school and proud to show how great your are. Your marks are a direct reflection of your willingness to stay on task and complete your assignments. I hope that in the future you will be more successful rising to the expectations and challenges I have set for you, because that bar will not go lower.
