HOMEWORK-No homework, have a great weekend. Go Toppers!

The STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURE FOR ALL OF MY CLASSES:
-Monday-Friday is WORK". I only give homework on weekends in emergency
situations.
-TESTS-Almost every Friday on the material covered the previous week.
-Quizzes on Tuesday, Wednesday, and some Thursdays. Some days have 2
  quizzes.
-HOMEWORK (if given) will be on Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday nights. I do not
  give homework on Wednesday nights due to "spiritual activities".
-Each Monday the students are given a information sheet (paper copy)of the
  assignments and basic content to be covered in that week.  I plan to put a copy
  here as well.
-I think that labs are very useful tools in the learning of science. We will do
many labs (mini-labs to very complicated and large labs).
-A lab "safety agreement" must be signed by the parents and students in order to get to participate in the large labs. Turn those in immediately.
