Science 6A: Snowed In!

I may not make it in to school today as a result of snow, but after the projects are done, check out the interactive games at this website. Remember to read a litle so you learn about these activities - don't just play!

Accounting 10 Exam

The exam is scheduled for Tuesday, Jan. 26th at 1:00 p.m. The 2 students in grade 12 will write it the same day except at 9:00 a.m.

1. Complete the review and bring it with you.
2. Get cheatsheets done and ready to use (the 4 tips on finding errors might be especially useful)
3. ALL work must be submitted for marking by Thursday, Jan. 28th at 3:30. After this cut-off, it will be marked as a 0.
4. You will have lots of time to complete the question as long as you know what you are doing - thtis means if you're putting off the review to finish older assignments, you will probably not have time to learn this as you go. DO THE REVIEW FIRST, then catch up on other work.

That is all. This will be easy after you've completed the review and if you can find mistakes as the are made.

Accounting 10

We're getting close to Exam time, but there's a Unit Test first. Complete your spreadsheet from 8.5 and then move on to review chapter 8. The test will be Monday.

After this test, we will do review for the exam the rest of the week. You mat be looking for time to finish undone assignments, but the review is most important - the Exam counts as an entire Unit on its own! That said, any work not handed in by Thursday January 28th will get marked as a zero, so get at it!

Back at it in 2010

We're back to school, and there's only 3 weeks until senior exams.

Accounting 10: Finish all outstanding assignments a.s.a.p. We will do Chapter 8, a Unit test, and then start exam preparations. You should be caught up by then or the workload will become overwhelming!

Health 7: There are many students with unfinished assignments (mostly our Responsibility Qs worksheet). Since our Unit 2 test will be in a week or so, get this done and handed in!

Science 6: We're working on our Wiki projects, and once we've done them we'll have a Unit Test on 'Eartghquakes and Volcanoes' before starting the next unit - 'Exploring Space'!
