As a record heat wave shines upon us, we embark on a shortened week in anticipation for a next holiday/break scheduled (or unscheduled).

Please remember to donate change (cash or coins) to your house's decorated donation box as part of HOPE Club's Pennies for Patients fundraiser (ends this Thursday), benefiting those battling blood cancers like Leukemia and Lymphoma!

Also remember to donate books that might be lying near your fingertips (or at a library willing to give us a batch or two) for Pusong Pinoy Book Drive (ends this Friday), benefiting those less fortunate in the Philippines!

Newsroll time:

HOMEWORK (first rotation)

• Ortega: none

• Piggott: 2 math problems investing in our comfort with proofs due second rotation

• Rivas: I am assuming there will be 2 source analyses (#7,8) due this Friday...

• Holt: keep up to date with the material in your textbook readings as we enter a new lesson in the coming weeks...keep your rovers on the back burner and in good condition a they await their Renaissance in the coming weeks as well!

• Senior Project: Research Check #18 this Friday (work on another three sources); our THIRD INTERVIEW and its blog are due by 8 AM this Friday...the blog asking us to analyze our secondary answers to our essential questions will be due the 25th of this month (more time dished out for this deadline)!

SCHEDULE OF EVENTS (first rotation)

- Ortega: We skipped SSR as we finished up redefined harkens discussions (more like conversational presentations), after which we took notes for Assignment #46 on a powerpoint concerned with "Conversations About Literature" - with the remaining few minutes, some houses may have gotten to share out their responses to a template or two summing up thoughts on "1984".

- Pigott: We worked on problems testing and fine-tuning our skill set now adapted to solving and constructing formulaic proofs.

- Rivas: We started off going over the schedule and then discussed the next blog that's due on Thursday. Lastly, Rivas talked to us about W4 forms for taxes, afterwards giving us free time to work on whatever we wanted/needed to work on...

- Holt: We overcame a quiz focusing on Newton's Three Laws of Motion.
