BRING A GLUE STICK, COLORED PENCILS AND YOUR TEXT BOOK EVERY DAY!!

Monday HW:  Make sure to complete all Introducation and Digerstive system assignments. (Intro., time line,  Vocab., Color and label diagram.)

ALL NOTES ETC. AS WELL AS NIGHTLY HOMEWORK ASSIGNMENTS ARE POST ON THE HUMAN BODY ORGAN-IZER PAGE.

 This week we are moving on to our study of the Human Body. Last Friday we created the template for our Human Body Organ-izer. All week we will be working on various tasks that will be added to our "Organ-izer" or booklet. Most work will be completed in class, but expect to work a little each night on completing work not finished in class and/or tasks assigned for homework.

THERE WILL BE A HUMAN BODY QUIZ NEXT FRIDAY., FEB.3rd. This is a change of date! Be sure to study each new organ system every night.

To make things easier for you, I will be creating a 'page' titled Human body Organ-izer. This is where I will post assignments, notes and PDFs. PLEASE NOTE: not every task is in a format that I can upload to the blog. So be sure you take all that you need home each day.

The Organ-izers will be kept in class and we will glue in tasks together
