GRAPHING Task: B day graphs are due as you walk in on Friday. A day due on Monday.
If you have COLOR pencils and/or markers bring them to class as we draw our Postcards from Space for the final part of the Compare/Contrast terrestrial to gas giant planets.
Everyone should complete all of the lessons in FCAT EXPLORER. These should help you review 6th, 7th, and 8th grade concepts that will be on CGA 2. This test will be the last week of January.
Start working through each section of the ship. The whole ship will be finished during the 3rd nine week grading period. You will have class time to work on FCAT EXPLORER next week along with 2 A3K lessons. We will meet in the 2nd floor computer lab on Wednesday and Thursday. Be prepared to do both A3K lessons that day and then work on FCAT.

An opportunity for students to compete for a four-year Florida College Plan scholarship provided by the Florida Prepaid College Foundation
I received this letter recently and wanted to share this opportunity with all of my students. Perhaps you want to give it a whirl.
Dear Educators:
As you begin a new semester, we would like to share an important opportunity with you. This week, Governor Rick Scott and First Lady Ann Scott announced the 2015 Black History Month contests, honoring both students and educators.
Excellence in Education Award:
Students, parents, teachers and principals are invited to nominate full-time, African-American educators in elementary, middle and high schools for the Black History Month Excellence in Education Award. All entry forms and guidelines for the contests can be found at www.FloridaBlackHistory.com.
Student Art and Essay Contests:
Art and essay contests are open to students in Kindergarten to 12th grade. The theme for this year’s essay and art contests is “A Celebration of African-American Innovation and Innovators.” Students are asked to share how African-American innovators have shaped Florida.
The art contest is open to all Florida students in grades K-3, and two winners will be selected.
The essay contest is open to all Florida students in grades 4 through 12. Three winners will be selected: one elementary student (grades 4-5), one middle-school student (grades 6-8), and one high school student (grades 9-12). Winners will receive a four-year Florida College Plan scholarship provided by the Florida Prepaid College Foundation.
Information about the contests and Florida’s Black History Month is available on Florida’s Black History Month website at www.FloridaBlackHistory.com.

Monday and Tuesday - Finish the chart before next class.
If you missed class on either Monday or Tuesday, you need to prepare a chart that lists certain properties of terrestrial and gas giant planets. Use Unit 3 lessons 4 and 5 for most of the information.
If you were present, you know you must have this chart complete as you walk into class. The next step is a graphing activity. You should have your own graph paper for this.
