English and science update, with a little reminder for good measure

Hello everyone,
I want to bring your attention to a new tab I have added to the blog, outlining the poetry project the students are currently working on in English class.

We've been writing poetry for a few weeks now, and I am blown away by the calibre of writing, and the sophistication of higher order thinking demonstrated in the poems that have been turned in. The students are all at different stages of the project, but for those who have moved on to looking for gems of poetry by published poets, I have included a list of suggested poets, as well as links to examples of how to write the introduction and personal response paragraphs on the poetry anthology tab. The project will be due after the winter break (Jan 4), but there is plenty of time to finish before school's out, so you aren't left with homework over the holidays!

In Science, we'll be having an open book quiz on the cardiovascular and respiratory systems next week, as well as the crossword quiz on the 11 body systems that I told you about ages ago, but then forgot about! All the information you need for the crossword quiz is on page 56-57 of your text book!

Now for one last reminder:
Yearbooks are still on sale, and the last day to buy them at the earlybird price is next Tuesday. Here is a link to the order form, just in case you need it . ;)

Have a lovely weekend,
