Week 1

Hello and welcome to general biology. This week we will be spending a good deal of time orienting your child to General Biology. The three of us will work collaboratively so that your child will have assignments, tests, etc all due at the same time so there isn't confusion from one class to another.

Students will receive their materials list on Tuesday and all required materials will be due Thursday. If there is a problem with this please don't hesitate to make contact and we can assist in getting materials for your child if needed. If you have paper bags at home plese send them to school with your child on Wednesday as we will be participating in a classroom activity with them and we are always in need of a few extra.

Tuesday-Routine
Wednesday-Lab activity
Thursday-In-class textbook activity
Friday- Scientific Method Unit introduction/lab activity

There will be no homework this week other than to obtain and bring required materials

Happy first week!!!
The General Biology Team
