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!

We're ready for a test on our second Unit, so here's the review you'll need to check in your notes. If your have this information, you'll do fine.

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'!

Christmas Holidays

I don't think everyone should be doing school work over the break, but there are only three weeks left in the semester and some students do need to complete work that is past due.

Accounting students who have not completed ACC10 6.3 or 7.2 or the 7.3 spreadsheet, now is the time.

HEA7a and 7b should be completed the Responsibility Qs.

SCI6a could be looking ahead at our wiki project and researching pictures and text to post for your group to see.

Have a good Holiday!
