Health: Human Sexuality Unit</h2>
<div>
We are starting our Human Sexuality unit in health class. :) Parents, PLEASE talk to your students about what we talk about in class. It is so crucial they have an open relationship with you about this particular topic! The curriculum is abstinence based. Our schedule is as follows:</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<u>Friday, February 13th</u>: Pam Stenzel "Time to Wait for Sex" video</div>
<div>
<u>Tuesday, February 17th-Thursday February 19th</u>: WAIT (abstinence) Training with Jayci Chino (from the Crisis Pregnancy Care Center)</div>
<div>
This training will cover what the world and media says about sex, what the people who love and care about students say about sex, sexually transmitted infections, marriage, importance of being okay with yourself.</div>
<div>
<u>Friday, February 20th:</u> Male and Female reproductive systems. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
If there are any questions or concerns about this particular unit, please come talk to me!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<h2>
Language Arts: SAGE Testing</h2>
<div>
It is that time of year (already!) that we are beginning the writing section of the end of level SAGE test. Please make sure your students are well rested and fed next week as we begin this testing process. I am proud of their hard work in preparation for this big test. :)</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>

<br />
NUTRITION, NUTRITION, NUTRITION!!!<br />
We just completed a diet analysis where students looked at everything they ate in a given day and identified areas of needed improvement in their diets. We are currently watching parts of a food documentary called, "Hungry For Change." The video can be found on Netflix. It talks about what is in our food and what foods our bodies need to maintain optimal health. We will be analyzing food labels this week and the next big project will be a "School Lunch Redesign" for the final project in our nutrition unit. <br />
<br />
**We will be starting our Human Sexuality Unit the second week in February, so if you are concerned or have questions with the content, please contact me!!<br />
<br />
<br />
Language Arts:<br />
WRITING, WRITING, WRITING!!!<br />
We have just finished TWO big writing assignments. The first big writing assignment was a research paper (that was done in MLA format) based on the debates done in December. This paper has been graded and handed back to each student. This was our first big writing assignment for the trimester and we (Mrs. Fife and I) don't expect all kids to be at a level four (highly proficient). Based on the feedback we gained from grading these papers, we are now working on CITING specific EVIDENCE within the body of the paper. Students started revision today (January 27th) and will finish tomorrow. There is no limit on how many submissions a student can have to fix this research paper. The first score for this paper is updated on their grade.<br />
The second writing assignment was based on the following question: "Can Money Buy Happiness?" This essay was written in class and submitted on Utah Compose. <br />
<br />
Reminder for students: FORMAT FOR ARGUMENT WRITING<br />
I-Introduction (claim and 3 reasons)<br />
CC- Counterclaim (3 reasons with cited evidence--refute statement)<br />
R1-Reason 1 (with 3 cited evidences)<br />
R2-Reason 2 (with 3 cited evidences)<br />
R3-Reason 3 (with 3 cited evidences)<br />
C-Conclusion (wrap it up and acknowledge the counter--refute it!)<br />
<br />
We are starting ARGUMENT WRITING BOOT CAMP with the next writing prompt. We want all students to reach the level of a "sergeant" (or level 3=proficient). Details to come!<br />

We are with the counselors this week in health class. We are working on career and college readiness and trying to help students figure out their four year plans.

Dear Parents,<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
As ninth grade teachers we are very
excited to have your children next year and are looking forward to working with
you to ensure that your child has a successful year. To help students, we have developed a <b>Summertime Study Sheet </b>for them to
study throughout the summer months.
Students will be tested on this study sheet the first week of the
2014/2015 school year. A celebration is
planned if 80% of the students pass the test, although we are hoping that 100%
pass!<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
We also ask that your student <b>read a book</b> (250-300 pages) and be able
to write a summary using the plot line below.
It is important that your student stay in the learning mode and come
prepared. <u>As teachers we pledge to
you and your child that this will benefit your child immensely. <o:p></o:p></u></div>
