All students in all classes will get Markbooks today. We are just past Report Cards, but I send these out by hand every month. If you want to see if there has been improvement since Nov. 1st, ask your student to see their markbook.
p.s. If you would like these emailed to you, let me know.

Science 6A
Students who did not complete the "Triangulation Problems" from last week (many were sick) can do any 2 from the handout. Just circle the given cities using your compass and the scale on the maps. Complete three circles and you find where they all meet - that is your epicenter.
Accounting 10
Our Unit Test will be Monday. Be sure you are ready to do a long question like Chapter 5 Review Exercise #7 from the text. You will work with given accounts, enter various transactions on T-Accounts, complete a Trial Balance, then an Income Statement, and finally the Equity Section of a Balance Sheet. Study well!
Health 7A and 7B
7As: Our health Unit Test will be Monday. Also, some students have not finished the "Respect Qs" handout - this is due.
7Bs: We have finished our Unit Test, but the "Respect Qs" handout is also due.

H1N1 Advice
We have had many student illnesses this week as a result of the H1N1 flu. If students are sick, they should stay home to avoid spreading illness, and please note the information and clinic info listed on the Sunrise Health Region homepage.

Mid-Term Reports - All Classes
All marks are now recorded for out mid-terms. If any work has not yet been received, a zero will be given to that item. I will still accept and mark late work without penalty, but I think we are all aware that when January arrives there will be no second chances for missed assignments. Please try to keep up with what work is given and we will not run the risk of zeros damaging your mark.
ACC10: Mid-Term marks include all assignments and tests for the first 3 units, but there is too much weight currently assigned to Unit 4 assignment ('Homework Check'). Since it is the only item for the Unit as marks are sent in, it alone accounts for 25% of the report card grade. This anomaly will work itself out as more items are turned in and the unit is completed.
SCI6A: All work from our first unit ('Matter and Reactions') is recorded and part of your mid-term mark. Keep diagrams and the test for Parent-Teacher interviews. We have started a new unit on 'Earthquakes and Volcanoes'.
HEA7A and 7B: All work from the first unit ('Entering the Teen Years') is included in the mid-term mark. The Unit Test is not. The inclusion of this test mark will happen as soon as all students have written it. Since Health runs year-long, this mid-term report covers only about 25% of our material for the year. Our new Unit is 'Your Health and Wellness'.
For all classes, monthly Markbooks will continue to be sent home with students. Parents, please let me know if you would like these emailed to you instead of being sent by hand.
