Hi everyone,
Sorry about being out again yesterday. I am really in a pattern of migraines and it is just making it very tough for me to function lately. As a result, I am also behind on grading which I apologize for. Things are just taking me longer to do.
Anyway, yesterday you got more time to finish up the evolution stations assignment. Tomorrow we'll discuss what Darwin's Theory of Evolution by Natural Selection really is and what it means. Then Friday you'll get a chance to play with making a "beast" based on different selective pressures.
As ever, please come to AFT if you are confused, need help in any way. Ms. L
DUE DATES:
• Evolution Stations - Thursday 2 April (can give me on Friday if you need another AFT)
• "Build-a- Beast" due Tuesday 7 April

week of 23 March
Hey all,
So I'm still sick and am staying home again Tuesday. I am sorry to not be available for anyone who is needing help with the genetics paper. In light of that, I am pushing the due date back for EVERYONE to this Friday, so you get a freebie courtesy of the cold that got me! This gives you the AFT time on Weds to get help as needed. Even if you have your paper done, please don't give it to the sub OK?
Here's the plan for this short week:
TUESDAY = watch the video "Dogs that Changed the World" and answer the questions. These are due by the end of the period
WEDNESDAY = AFT all morning...come in if you need help!
FRIDAY = Bx day -- we will start the evolution stations assignment that we were going to do on Tuesday in class.
See you soon, Ms. Leary
DUE DATES:
• Genetics Ethics paper -- FRIDAY 27 March -- NOTE CHANGE TO DUE DATE!!!!

week of 2 March
Hey everyone,
Oops I forgot to write until today. I'm sure you'll all have survived! ;) Anyway, here's what the rest of the week looks like:
Thursday & Friday - work on the genetics packet and/or prep for the genetics test next Tuesday.
If you are done with both of these and want to get a head start on a genetics issue paper you'll be writing, you could start that in class. You'll be getting class time for this paper next week on Thursday and Friday, so that isn't urgent
Test -- has a notes and no-notes component. You can have one notecard for the test.
As always, please come to AFT if you need help! Friday I am going to try to go the conference room in the main office for a Safe Passage trip for at least part of the time. If I'm not here, ask Mrs. Harder (tall blonde woman), she can help you!
Thanks, Ms. L
DUE DATES:
• Genetics packet (graded, required) - Friday 6 March by the end of class
• Genetics test - Tuesday 10 March
• Genetics ethics paper - Tuesday 24 March (so you have two AFTs for help after we work on it in class)

Hi there everyone,
It was so good to see all of you today! While I was not missing the massive workload of teaching while I was away, I did my my wonderful students. It's nice to be back with you. :)
As we discussed in class today, this week will be finishing learning/practicing the various types of genetics problems (monohybrid cross, sex-linked cross, incomplete dominance, and codominance) as well as pedigrees. If anyone wants to learn how to do dihybrid crosses I am happy to show you.
Thursday we'll go over any Oompah Loompah questions you want me to and learn pedigrees. I'll give you more practice problems and then Friday you can start on the graded problem set, which is due next Thursday 5 March.
The test/quiz on this is on Friday 6 March.
As always, come to AFT if you need help!! All these ungraded practice problem sets are meant to help you figure out where you are confused. That is your responsibility! Then my helping you is mine. See you, Ms. L
DUE DATES:
• Oompah Loompah practice problems - Weds 25 Feb (optional)
• Genetics problem set - Thursday 5 March (NOT optional!)
• Genetics test - Tuesday 10 March -- NOTE CHANGE IN DATE
