All students have been assigned a text book: C ells & Heredity. In addition, a new online chapter in CK12 has been published online with additional informational, interactives, videos, etc. See Unit 5: Who Are You?
HW033 1.1 and HW 034 1.2 due WEDNESDAY. For both sections complete the following:
Read, answer checkpoints and review questions on paper, and complete essential vocab. Include name, date, title, section numbers, and any other appropriate labels on your paper. These will go on page 104. Don't forget to add vocab to the index in the back of your notebook.
Essential vocab for these sections: cell, cell theory; organelle, cell wall, cell membrane, nucleus, cytoplasm, mitochondria (mitrochondrion), chloroplast, ribosome, vacuole.
HW035 New title page for WHO ARE YOU? will be due next week after MCAS testing. You should have it done no later than next Wednesday. (page 101).
Links to MCAS practice questions and other helpful test prep sites can be found here on Aspen and also through my new.schoolnotes.com site, or just Google it. I've also included the link in a Google doc here. If you need permission to access the doc I will email you back asap. This is a checklist of "Minimum Topics" for MCAS prep.
All students had been given a schedule of assignments in March, and were asked to access the continuing schedule online in April. As I update and edit the document they can see the changes in real time and access the embedded links directly. If your student has not already done so, the link to that Term 3 syllabus/schedule is here.
All students have been assigned to access to the online text book created specifically for their needs this year at CK12.org. Students should be using this online resource to complete specific assignments.

REMINDER: MCAS prep is underway. Scheduling is weird, and students need to stay on top of assignments and requirements. I'm continuing to post here on Aspen to keep people informed, and on new.schoolnotes.com for those who cannot get onto Aspen. I also continue to tweet regularly, including assignments, photos of stuff as needed. For students who can't find their way to Twitter, I set up a test blog and a test website just to see if we could post stuff there - perhaps that's easier to find! We've tried email, too. And yes, I even still hand things out in class. There is much going on, but the information is available.
Students, Parents, Guardians! Happy Vacation!
I hope everyone is enjoying their time off!
Just a few notes to keep everyone in the loop:
