9th Grade: Week of February 2-6

Hello,
We will begin an exciting activity on the Journey North website called Mystery Class. You can get more information at http://www.learner.org/jnorth/mclass/. There are 10 real mystery classes hiding around the world. Your class will be divided into 10 groups and be assigned to one particular mystery class. Each week they will send us sunrise/sunset and cultural/historical clues through the Journey North website. Our job is to use those clues to determine the location of each mystery class by the end of April. We will be doing Mystery Class related activities on Monday and Friday of this week.
This will most likely be our last full week in the Microorganism unit. We will have our practice test on Thursday (on Chapter 20) and the test on Friday. The homework and DUE dates are as follows:

Wednesday, February 4: Using complete sentences, answer Section 20-5 Assessment questions 1-4 (page 520).
Thursday, February 5: Using the practice test and book, study for Friday's test.

Have a great week,
-Mr. Pfiester

As a reminder, Wednesday, February 11 is our all-day ski trip to Magic Mountain and the following two days (February 12-13) there will be no school for students as teachers have in-service days. There will also be no school the following Monday (February 16) for Presidents Day.
