Geography – Mr. Palagi: 1st Meeting: Southwest Africa, a
look at the current situation in Iraq; mapping water around Africa; physical
id’s, too. 2nd Meeting: Mapping Southwest Asia. 3rd Meeting:
Evaluating Southwest Asia. Some continual charting could take place. With
in-service and the “Blue Bash” we will meet three times this week. People are
losing points for not having supplies, particularly colored pencils which are
so important for mapping: (sharpener, hand-held eraser, and pencil soft, also
would help)!
Math – Ms. Burgess: This week in math, students in the Red and
Orange classes will be wrapping up Chapter 10. Students in Yellow, Green and
Blue classes will be finishing work on Chapter 8. All students will be taking
Chapter Tests at the end of the week. Have an excellent weekJ

We are having our notebook quiz at the end of this week, so students are encouraged to make sure they have all the handouts/notes found on our table of contents in the classroom / web site. Grades have been updated online (www.mfisher.net) Questions, comments: [email protected].
