Wednesday - Incentive trip May 29th

The incentive trip is coming up to Downata on May 29th. The students need to be at the school at the regular time and will be back before the end of the day. The cost for swimming and the slide pass is $6.50. Students can either bring a lunch from home or pay $5.00 for a meal combo. They should bring, not wear, a swimsuit and a towel. If they want a locker to keep their things in that will cost an additional $3.00. This is an incentive trip available only to students who do not have more than five detentions and who are not failing any of their third trimester classes.

Tomorrow we are having a test. The students were given the questions and answers. The questions are also on yesterday's blog. These are things the students must know. They should be able to get an A on this test.

Today we used a q-tip and petri dish to find places in the school were germs and bacteria might be growing. We will let that sit over the long week-end and see what happens to it. We also compared dominant and recessive traits and finished our work on probability. Finally we started a worksheet on how to figure out recessive and dominant traits by using critical thinking skills and a Punnett Square.
