Frankenstorm!!

It looks like we are going to get hit by a pretty nasty storm.  Much like the Snowicane of 2010, we will have to adapt and adjust.  Be prepared for a 50 States test this week and for all of your projects to be turned in by Tuesday or Wednesday.

Let's take tons of pictures this week of the storm and I will put the best on the website.

Student Recognition

I am proud to say that we are honoring those students who score 95% or higher on any exam or project.  The lists are up on the front board.  Take a look when you get a chance.

Make the WALL OF FAME!

Careful in Room 215...

If Chloe wants to answer the phone, GET OUT OF THE WAY!  Almost had a causality yesterday.  HEADS UP!

YOU SAID IT!!

From our poll of students after the Japan and Korea Exam, there is overwhelming support for our online testing.  We had 63 students who liked the new style of testing and 15 who disliked it.  In other words, 81% of students enjoyed taking our exam online.

Remember, if you are a student who enjoys taking a paper copy of the exam as opposed to the online version, please let me know and we will take care of it!

Thanks

TEST CHANGE

Our test is now FRIDAY.  FRIDAY.  FRIDAY.

Friday Plans

Hey gang

I won't be here today (Friday) and I am really going to miss you (sarcasm).  You will be in the computer lab the entire period and you goal will be to preview material for our next chapter - Canada.  Here is what you can do:

1 - Finish Japan and Korea Test
2 - Finish Korea RAFT
3 - Complete Country Fact Sheet
4 - Complete Eight Elements Graphic Organizer

That should take you the period.  You will have to use the WORLD BOOK ONLINE to complete this.  As usual, you can access this from either this website or the student portal.  Please check your school GMAIL as I have emailed you paper copies that you will need.  If someone didn't get the email, please forward them the email and have them email me.

Thanks for working hard.  If there is a problem, email me and I'll see what I can do (not much until next week).  Have a great weekend.
