A few things I forgot to mention (or thought about and need to say before I forget...)

1) Again with the homework. As you know, it really is to your benefit to do all assignments, even if you exceed the required 10 needed for full credit. Therefore, as an added, ah, incentive/motivation, any homework completed beyond the required ten will continue to receive 10 out of 10 points so long as it is completed and turned in to me by the regular due date. If you have met the required ten assignments and choose not to do any extra HW, I'll leave the space for those assignments under your name blank, so that they won't hurt your grade but you won't receive credit either. Remember, if you do not have the required ten by the end of the nine weeks, all missing work will become zeros, which will hurt your grade...very badly...

2) More new things to see in my room this week:
- New centers and some modifications to the old ones. I am planning to have data sheets for at least some of these centers which you must complete for a classwork grade. The data sheets will be specific to the center they are used with and will be made available in my class and on Engrade in the time to come.

3) Due date change on the research project and Test #2
- I'm extending the due/presentation date for the research project. October 17, will be the last day to do a presentation or submit a report for full credit. I will have sign up sheets for each period this coming week. Expect the second test to be given either this coming Friday or the following Monday. It will mainly cover Chapters 3 and 4. Doing the Chapter reviews will greatly help you to be prepared.
