    I don't think you can count typos from a past blog. Or can you? You're in charge so I guess it's your decision.

  40. Hello Gang, McRae and Bailey-Man:

    Hope you are feeling better Matt and the your eye is OK Alex.

    You all may want to check out the MCAS site as there are a few questions on tomorrow's test from old 8th grade MCAS tests. Most from the 2005 test.

    Good luck tomorrow! Many of you currently have an A or A+ average! Study, use the blog wisely and take good notes so you ace tomorrow's test. It is OK for all of you to get A+'s as I will still get........

    Good Luck!

    #7's answer:
    "Pollen grains produce sperm cells that fertilize the eggs within the larger female cones. Pollen is carried from the male cones to the female cones by wind. After fertilization, seeds mature and are released from the female cones. When the conditions are right, the seeds grow into new gymnosperm plants" So, the result of this is gymnosperm

  70. anonymous stop repeating every comment you do. Also you were not last on the fungi study guide and you are not last now.
    Also anyone who says the typo police need a life-you get extra points on your test every 5 typos. We got an extra 5 points for this plants test. That could move you from a B to an a-!

  71. Fellow Peers-

    It has come to my attention that there are select few who detest the typo police and there ways. But why? All we are doing is helping Mr. Carrison to make the blog a little better. And when the blog is easier to read, it is easier to study, thus, kids receive better grades. So cease your revolt against the Typo Police.
