Group 5 G will not be assigned homework during the Spring Trip in our courses. Instead, I would like each student to observe closely some aspect of the Spring Trip that s/he found most meaningful and be able to write about it when they return.
Students who don't go on the Spring Trip will have Math homework during this week, but will not have Math homework next week. Returning students will have Math homework next week, 5/3/10-5/7/10, and the other students will not.
Please remember that we have Medical Disease words for Wordly Wise on Tuesday, 5/4/10, and a half day ending at noon on Wednesday, 5/5/10 with the Spring Performance that evening. On Thursday, 5/6/10, Sharon Clark will join us to do calligraphy during Reading and Writing blocks.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
High School Biology students will use class time during Spring Trip week to write their 5 page paper on a digestive disease/disorder. This paper will count as half of the final exam.

High School Biology:
Tuesday: TBD
Thursday: 5/6/10: Five page paper on Digestive Disease/Disorder will be collected. Remember that your topic should have enough research in order for you to talk about the definition of the disease/disorder, the history of the disease (when was it first known and does this date coincide with the Green Revolution), causes, symptoms, treatment, cures and promising medical treatment/cures.
Topics: Al M.- Celiac disease; Sam B. IBS, Alex P.-Parasites; Dav M.-Chron's Disease; Sawyer U.-gastroenteritis; Alan K.-?
Science folders will be collected on THE DAY OF YOUR FINAL EXAM. Make sure that all assignments are filed under the appropriate divider, and that you can account for all work. As I’ve mentioned, your folder will count as a test grade.
As always, if you have questions about material, or if you need help with anything, you can see me every day at lunch, before or after school, or you may call me in the evening between 7:00 pm – 9:00 pm.

Group 5G Wordly Wise
Group 5 G have picked medical illness/disorder words for their next Spelling test on 5/4/10, as well as their "phobia" words for the test on 5/11/10.
Both tests will require spelling of the word, the part of speech and the definition.
For 5/4/10, the words are: lycanthropy, seizure, apotemnophilia, alien hand syndrome, alopecia, aphasia, achondroplasia, boanthropy, epistaxis, albinism, psychosomatic and q fever.
For 5/11/10: automatonophobia, didaskaleinophobia, chromophobia, Germanophobia, Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia, lutraphobia, mythophobia, novercaphobia, selenophobia, sinophobia, pogonophobia, urophobia, decidophobia.
(FYI: Hippopotomonstrosesquippedialiophobia means the fear of long words!!)

Field Trip to Joseph's Farm: 5/25/10
Groups 5 have been invited to visit language teacher, Joseph Marquette's, farm on Tuesday, May 25,2010. Students will learn how science and math are incorporated into running a farm and they will have the opportunity to see animals (heritage chickens, ducks, rabbits), vegetables and fruit orchards in various stages of development. We will have a picnic lunch (bagged lunch with no glass bottles, please) and be back by pick up at 3:00 pm.
Students should come dressed for rain or shine (boots are highly recommended for mud!) with appropriate outerwear. If you have questions about this, please contact me.
