It's About Time

Today, we took our first Quiz. I think everyone did pretty well. Afterwards, a few classes went down to the Media Center to check out science textbooks for the school year. This year, we'll be using a book published by It's About Time called "EarthComm". This textbook must be returned at the end of the year in "like" condition. Here's a link to It's About Time's website: http://www.its-about-time.com/.

Note: Periods 4 - 7 were not able to get their textbooks today due to a book shortage. Books will be available soon!

Remember, these books are to be used for HOME LEARNING. We will have a class set to use at school. Therefore, there will be no need to bring them back and forth from home.

Each student should have written their FIRST and LAST name in the front cover of their textbook. For the "Year Used" field, they should have written "08 - 09". They should have also noted the condition of the book that they received. For example, "new", "good", "poor", etc. It was stressed today each textbook is worth $80.00. If not returned at the end of the school year, the student may forfeit their opportunity to go on the 8th grade trip, as well as, attend the 8th grade dance.

HW: Complete/Finish the Textbook Scavenger Hunt

Due to today's Fire Drill, Period 2 will take Quiz #1 TOMORROW.
