Dear Bio Students, as I mentioned to you yesterday in class

my mother was very sick and pass away last night.  I will

be gone today and Friday.  Please continue to work as we planned

on your questions and your Mitosis Project.  Since I will be gone

the plans will change a little. 

1.  Project is not due on Monday so with the extra time you have put

in a little extra effort to make it a GREAT Project.  Be creative!  Stay away

from just making it a book report. I know you can do it.

2.  Quiz is postponed until next week - Not Monday or Tuesday
