UPCOMING ECOLOGY UNIT TEST

Our Ecology Unit Test is currently scheduled for Thursday, 10/29.  Please be
sure to use your notebook as your number one reference, and also refer to the
packet pages that we have read.  REMEMBER the difference between UNDERSTANDING
something and KNOWING it.  To KNOW something is to OWN it.  


THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING PREPARED

Congratulations to many of you who have wholeheartedly assumed the role of 
responsible middle-school students.  Your open-minded efforts to record 
information, to be organized, and to be prepared are truly the beginnings to 
gaining steady work habits.  These habits will help you to grow as 
trustworthy and dependable individuals.  

For those who are already falling into the dangerous path of "forgetfulness", 
please be cognizant that you are indubitably responsible for your growth as 
an independent individual.  Excuses are evasive reasons for shirking personal 
accountability.  It is only the middle of September, and I am reluctant to 
say that some individuals are already coming to class unprepared.  This will 
most likely result in falling very much behind.  


A FEW CONSTANT REMINDERS:
  
1.  Please remember to have all your materials for class.  
2.  Use your agenda to record all information.  
3.  If you are ever absent, always check with your teachers for any work 
     that is missed - classwork and homework.
