Mrs. Hickey's Science classes: The quiz originally scheduled for tomorrow, October 15th has been moved to Friday, October 17th. I did this because students already have part 1 of a Social Studies test tomorrow, and part 2 on Thursday. We have already reviewed for the Science quiz. The students will receive a study guide in class tomorrow. Today is the last day we will spend in the computer lab doing research for the report due October 24th.I am reminding students that they can take books out of the library using their Student I.D. Also, they can utilize the library after school and use outside sources (like the town library) to help them with their report. Reminder: As the outline indicates, this is the only written work they have for Science outside of school. I am looking for quality work, and trying to give the students enough time to do a good job on their report, as it counts as a quiz grade. I am also here after school Tuesday through Thursday if students want additional help on their report.
