upcoming quizzes and tests

QUIz tomorrow of course on organic compounds
Quiz tuesday on Bioenergetic reactions (photosynthesis, cellular respiration (aerobic) and the two types of fermentation (which are anaerobic). ***have your foldable to use during the quiz!!!
Window panes due Wednesday
TEST REVIEW ON WEDNESDAY (you won't be able to use your notes or foldables).
Test Thursday on material covered on the two previous quizzes.

HONOR'S STUDENTS : REMEMBER TO CHECK YOUR CALENDAR AND KEEP UP WITH YOUR ASSIGNMENTS!! NO SAS DUE NEXT WEEK- THIS GIVES YOU TIME TO GET AHEAD (HOPEFULLY) OR CATCH UP.

THE SAS ASSIGNMENTS CORRELATE DIRECTLY WITH THE CURRICULUM TO HELP YOU INCREASE YOUR UNDERSTANDING OF THE CONTENT AND TO ASSIST YOU IN GETTING THE HIGHEST EOC SCORE POSSIBLE----I DON'T EXPECT THAT YOU ARE IN AN HONOR'S CLASS TO JUST "GET BY". I EXPECT YOU WANT TO EXCEL, SO KEEP POSITIVE AND KEEP UP. I STAY LATE FOR YOU TO USE THE COMPUTER LAB--- TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THAT!!!
