Week of September 7 - September 11

Welcome back! I hope everyone enjoyed their long weekend!

Geography:

This week we will be working on Chapter 3. We are studying climates and their affect on the Earth. The students were given the study guide for the week that needs to be completed. We will also start working on mapping skills this week. Students will be given a word list that they will need to mark on the political and physical maps they get in class.
If you are disappointed in your test grade on the Chapter 2 test, you are able to take the test re-take to help improve your grade.

Science:

The first science test will be given Wednesday and Thursday depending on the block schedule. The test also marks the end of the unit. Make sure your notebooks are completed and turned in to Mr. Hess. Remember no work for this unit will be accepted after the end of the unit. If you have any missing work, this is your last chance to get it turned in. You can always check the student/parent portal to check your grades and see if you have any missing work! Use this table of contents as a guide for everything that needs to be included in your science notebook.

English:

We finished up our work in the media center on Tuesday. For the rest of the week we will be watching the "World Trade Center" movie and discussing the events of 9/11/01. The students will complete a worksheet. Next week we will begin work with Dr. Martin Luther King's "I have a Dream" speech.
