a representation from campus (person or

the real cell. On the Bert Lynn cell they will
also need to write a few sentences on why they
chose the reprensetation for each organelle.
They will be graded on: 1. did they cover all
the organelles learned? 2. did they use color?
3. Did they label all the parts correctly?
4. Did they write the few sentences for each
organelle comparison they chose on the BLMS
cell? This can be done on a seperate piece of
paper if they would like.

Welcome Back and Welcome
to room 13
Dear parents and students, I generally do well at
keeping the homework posted here on this site.
However, once I feel that most parents have been
given their computer access to the SIMS parent
connect system which will allow on line grade
access and classroom information I will transition
from this site to it. Hopefully it will be within
the first two months of school.
Homework for today: Need parental signature on...
1. classroom standards sheet
2. computer information sheet.
( on this one please indicate your status )
1. I turned it in with the registration
packet for sept 2007.
2. I already have a pass code from last
year and am familiar with the system.
3. I have never seen this form and will
complete this one.
4. I decline this extra service.
Additionally once we get going, your student will have a homework sheet in his/her notebook that should have all assignments written down daily.
Sincerely, Mrs. Tucker
