January 31- February 4
Dear Students:
This week we continue to work in Chapter 16: the Circulatory System. We will continue to work in our Chapter Projects in class, as well as completing our learning process through lectures, videos and class discussions We will also be solving concept Maps and the rest of the Work Pack.
This week I would like you to focus on how to use your time. Time is the most valuable resource a student has. It is also one of the most wasted of resources. The schedule you develop should guide you in how to allocate the available time in the most productive manner. Sticking to your schedule can be tough. It is only up to you to have the discipline to follow the schedule you prepared. A good deal of your success in high school depends on this simple truth. I would really like you to succeed in the future, so let’s make the best out of the time we have.
Some grades you can find posted in Power School are:
• Chapter 15 Content Test
• Chapter 15 Key Terms Test
• Work Pack chapter 15
• Vitamins and Minerals chart
• Key Terms Chapter 16
Important Dates to keep in mind:
Chapter 16 Test February 2

Dear Students:
This week we will begin Chapter 16, right after the evaluation for Chapter 15. This chapter is a continuation of the same topic: Human Anatomy, but this time we will be focusing in the Cardiovascular System.
We will be covering important details about The Heart, such as:
• The Body’s Transport System
• Blood and Lymph
• Cardiovascular Health
We will also be choosing our next project. For this chapter you will create a model of the heart using creative materials. All projects will then be shared with the class so we learn from other peoples work.
Recommendation:
I would like you to focus on critical reading through our science content. Critical reading is the ability to draw useful information from a book or other source of material important for the course. You should be applying two very important steps:
The first part —what to look for— involves recognizing those aspects that control the meaning.
The second part —how to think about what you find— involves the processes of inference, the interpretation of data from within the text.

Dear Students:
This week we continue to cover Chapter 15: Nutrition and Digestion. We have been seeing videos, listening to lectures, e beam games, doing Key Terms and working on our Work Packs. The test for this Chapter will be Wednesday, January 19. You need to focus on important facts and terms as well as reading the Chapter completely to get a clear view of the content for the test. Don’t forget to review your Concept Map for this chapter!!!
Thursday, we will begin chapter 16: Circulation. We will continue our Journey through Human Biology, learning important details about our transport system, blood, lymph and cardiovascular health.
