A Christmas Carol: If you get a chance to watch  movie or see a live theater production of A Christmas Carol, take advantage of the opportunity.  It will help as you continue to write your essay on "The Spirit Who Was the Most Influential In Changing Scrooge's Attitude."





A Christmas Carol Essay is due on Monday morning, December 10. Students are working on it in class until Thursday, December 6.  It will then be "unlocked," and students will have the weekend to improve their scores. Students may also work on it during writing lab times which are:

Tuesday-Thursday: 8:00-8:30 AM and 3:05-3:30 PM


Math: Students took a math benchmark test today. No homework was assigned.

3-18 homework due 12/10.  Remembering is extra credit.  Students need to choose a company stock to follow for the week.  They will select the stock and price today (Day 1 on worksheet).  They need to record the stock price each day through Friday (Day 5 on worksheet).  Then they must answer all questions.  Students can find stock prices in the newspaper or on the Internet.  See page #137-138 in the student's hardcover Math textbook with work done in their Math folder for examples.


Science (Microorganisms): Study for the TEST Dec. 12.
