Hello my favourite students!

Only three classes until the exam! Tonight you have to read Pages 242 and 251 about human conception and development.

Also there is a reproduction test on Wednesday. You should be studying for one half hour every night for the exam. Speaking of the exam it is Monday Jan 29, 2007 at 9 am in room 221 and you need to bring your text book. I will send you to get your textbook before allowing you to write your exam. If you do not hand in the correct textbook number I will not issue a grade for the 9 Science class until I recieve the correct text book or a payment of $90.

Happy Studying!
Ms. Scallion

PS Your Karyotype extension project is due Tuesday.
