The Conn: Monday and Tuesday February 5th, 2018

Today's Quote:

'Intuition is seeing with the soul.'
~ Dean Koontz

RECAP:

I have been out with the flu all week. We will be picking up with chapter 8 in Biology. Parents, ALL STUDENTS HAVE HOMEWORK!

Both Biology and Earth space science can expect the unit exam over their respective chapters on Wednesday.

Students who correct ALL the mistakes on their returned papers will receive 10 points more. Make your corrections on a separate piece of paper and staple it to the actual paper, turn it in. Example: If you scored a 60 on an assignment and you correct ALL of the mistakes, I will add 10 points to make it a 70.

Entry Task/ Brain Bender:

Kerry Queen works on the 35th floor of an office tower. Most mornings, Kerry will ride the elevator to the 25th floor, then climb the stairs to the 35th floor. On mornings when it's raining, however, he will always ride the elevator to the 35th floor. Since Kerry is neither fond of exercise nor superstitious, what could be the reason for this rather bizarre behavior?
