Week of April 6th


All my classes have a busy week this week. We only have four days this week and four days next week because of the Easter weekend ............. so there is lots of work to do!

Thank you to all parents who came to parent/teacher interviews. I enjoyed meeting with you. Please feel free to contact me at anytime if there are additional questions.

English 113

Monday, we will continue discussion on topics of outcast, degrading, humiliation, injustice etc. in relation to the Freedom Writers and Civil Rights mother, Rosa Parks. We will watch the Rosa Parks movie and discuss with a question/answer sheet. Then, with a full biography on Rosa, we will write a resume for Rosa. In turn, students will work on their own resumes for summer employment. This should take two weeks, with Easter weekend in between.

Students should have a novel and be working independently on their questions and diary. This novel project is due January 27th.

Math 9

We have a unit test on polynomials on Wednesday of this week. This two part unit test will cover all the material we have completed in Chapter 7. Both parts will be completed during the two classes we have together on Wednesday. I can offer extra help Monday after school and Tuesday at noon hour. Tuesday after school, I have Drama.

Science 9

Every student must have a 3-ring binder, a highlighter and cue-cards. We are working on study techniques - in preparation for our unit test this Thursday (Unit 1: Matter). I have given students a hand-out to study from. If a student misses class, they should ensure they are responsible to make up work. Please see me before or after school, or at lunch.

Students continue to show up at class without a pen or pencil to write with! Please come to class prepared.

Science students have a lab with Mr. Lloyd on Mondays, and Science class with me the remainder of the week. Every Wednesday, there is a quiz.
