Homework Assignments

March 7-11

Math:   We are starting the chapter on exponents on Monday.  We will be covering pages 292 through 307 by Friday.  Students may need additional help on this because they did not do exponents last year.

Reading: We are continuing to read our novel, Running Out of Time.  We will cover chapters 15-25 this week and will hopefully finish the book up on Friday.

Social Studies: We will cover the beginning of the Civil War, including disadvantages and advantages of the North and the South.  Students will also be creating a Civil War map in which they will locate the important battles of the war.    On March 9, as a special treat,  we will be spending the afternoon with Civil War re-enactors.  More information about this is included on a separate sheet. Students have been presenting their February country reports this week.  We also went to the computer lab to begin our new country reports for March. 

Health:  We will finish chapter four covering diseases and we will be taking the test over the chapter on Tuesday. We got a little behind last week with the Social Studies country reports.
The next chapter is on legal and illegal drugs. 

English:  We are writing our essay entitled, "What a Good Citizen Means to Me"  The final copies are due this week.  We will be selecting one per class to be judged by teachers in this building.  The winning essay will be sent in for a county wide contest.  The winner receives a $100 savings bond.  Those essays go on to state level where the winner receives a $1000 savings bond and four runner ups receive $500 bonds. 
 
Teachers Note:  End of the grading period is next Friday. Report cards come out the following week. Students will receive a Health grade this nine weeks instead of a science grade.
