Ladies and Gentlemen,

We have the flu.

In my classes combined there are 5 people with the flu!!! This is obviously worth sharing because you all share space and therefore that puts you (and me!!!) at risk.

I ask the following of you all:

1. WASH your hands!!!

2. Cover your face with EVERY sneeze and cough!!

3. If you have a fever, stay home until you can go 24 hours without medicating your fever and it is gone for the entire 24 hours.

4. If you are home sick, get tested for the flu!!!

5. If you would like extra credit in our time of illness:
Bring in clorox wipes, cleenex, or hand sanitizer between now and next friday and I will put 5 points on your Meiosis Quiz.

Thanks all!!!

This is the video we watched that reviewed mitosis.

As we continue to go through the week, I will add links to the materials we use in class to help you.

And, as always, if you click on the tags you will find all posts with that tag.

Quiz Bonus

For an extra 5 points on your quiz tomorrow:

Write down the correct answer to #1 on the review you received in class today ABOVE YOUR NAME ON THE SCANTRON.

I will not have any conversation about the bonus. If you know what to do and remember to do it, you will get points if you are correct, otherwise, you will not.

Friday: Continuing meiosis.

****There are old posts that have videos and old notes that may be helpful to you. Click on the tags "meiosis" and "mitosis" to see all the posts with each tag.

Reminder on Completing today's in-class assignment

You each received a sheet today listing the steps for mitosis and a box for "summary". You may attach them in your notebook in one of 3 ways:

1. 1 column that flips down the center of the page.

2. 2 columns that go down the center of the page.

3. 2 rows that go across the page as the book is turned side-ways.

Each block should have a minimum of 1 complete sentence and a drawing of the cell in that phase.

If you still don't understand, comment below so that everyone can see your questions and my answers.

Week 1: Quarter 3
