All Students:
Beginning in January, Massachusetts-mandated Health Screenings will take place for all students in Grades 6 – 12. Screenings include vision, hearing, height and weight. These screenings are not diagnostic but are designed to identify students who may need further evaluation. Parents/Guardians will only receive notification if further testing is needed. Parents/Guardians may waive any of their child’s school health screenings if they have documentation of screenings by their Primary Care Provider within the past year. Please contact Mary Beth Doherty, School Nurse, with any questions or concerns at 978-352-5790 ext. 520.

Grade 8:
Mrs. Girard: traduzca page of packet 2. Work on your project (family tree) which is due next week on Thursday (1/29).
Mrs. Reed: Study for quiz tomorrow 6-1 thr 6-4. Covering: rations, unit rates, conversions between units, customary and metric units, proportions and similar figures. Come before school if you want a review session.
Grade 7:
Mrs. Hickey- ALL CLASSES: The students are coming home with 2 assignments and a parent note. One assignment was the quiz on animal cells they took last Tuesday, January 13th. The other assignment is their first lab on using the microscope. This lab counted 2 times toward their lab average. The note gives some background information about the quiz and notes about the microscope work. We talked about how to get a final average on the microscope lab in class, by averaging the 3 numerical “mini-grades” and adding 5 points for a check-plus on the drawings, or subtracting 5 points for a check-minus. Those students who would like extra credit to pull up the animal cell quiz MUST return the parent note signed by tomorrow to get the extra credit, otherwise, the note is not due until Friday. Having the note signed DOES count as an assignment however. I am really pushing kids to be more responsible about communicating with their parents about their work. Finally, the students took a quiz on symmetry today. I hope to have it corrected by tomorrow, but it will definitely be returned by Friday, the last day of the marking period. I hope this information has been helpful.
Mrs. Husak: A – mixed number multiplication worksheet – complete the first column of problems A through K on a separate piece of paper. Quiz today on Dividing Fractions. B – page 276 # 1-22 all, # 66-72 all – Quiz tomorrow on sections 5.4-5.8 – Chapter 5 Test next Wednesday; E – see B; F – worksheet ‘What is the title?’ converting length measurement in the customary units – work on separate piece of paper. Chapter 5 Test next Wednesday.
Schauerman: SCIENCE - Study for the Animals & Symmetry quiz on sections 1-1 & 1-2. MATH - B - block --Test corrections due tomorrow!! Other blocks: No homework.
Mrs. Morrison: A – Finish all voc. assignments – Finish reading ch. 6 in Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry; B – Finish all voc. assignments.

Mrs. Harrington: Science Homework: Due: Wednesday- journal your thoughts (short paragraphs) on the three main labs that refer to the concepts and vocabulary terms on the Journal worksheet. For example, in the first box we did a lab called “Modeling Faults” where we used clay. Journal how you thought this lab helped (or didn’t help) in learning the concepts and vocabulary. In the second box, I showed you a model of a folded mountain. The next three boxes are about measuring earthquakes in which we did the lab, “Locating an Epicenter.” Again, write out your thoughts on how the lab helped (or didn’t help) you to better understand the concepts and vocabulary. Lastly, the bottom of the second page, through the third and fourth pages (beginning with Volcanoes and Plate Tectonics), is where we began our volcano/earthquake/tsunami project. Did the project help you to better understand the concepts and vocabulary related to those sections?
Do your best. The journaling is not a graded worksheet, but rather a way for me to get your feedback.
