Check My new blog

Hey guys, check out my new blog. It's called "videos." I know the name is lame, it's because i couldn't think of a different name. Anyways check it out there's some funny videos ;-)

Homework

Hey guys, sorry the homework is posted a little late, but here it is:

~Science-Cell project is due next Friday or the Monday after that.
~Geography- There is a test sometime next week so study on the geographie humaine, basically all the notes we took during class.
~Music-Mini test on #9 for next week, when you repeat, don't do the first ending, just skip, and do the second one.

Since a few people have been asking me, here is the site that is like wordle, but you can change it into shapes instead of just clouds. But for this site you have to download it first. This is it.

And I think that's about it. Have a great weekend!

homework?

Khadijah's Story

I want to thank Mr.Oickle for support our group's perspective on literacy. I think that this is a good video because it shows how people really want to go to school and want to be literate. In this case, Khadijah (I hope I spelled it right...) shows how grateful she is for being able to read and write and she shows what she can do now that she has the ability to read and write. It makes us feel grateful that we go to school and we learn something everyday. Inspiring video!

Missed Presentations

Hi guys.  Just a quick note to thank you for your patience and cooperation today.  You did a great job...even with your names on the board. : ) Just a couple of quick things; first - I need the titles of the presentations you did with Mr. Hartnett and the names of any groups who have not yet presented and second - Ms. Russell is looking for a couple or few volunteers to help her class learn how to use the blog.  They are stuck at the "we don't know how to post" and "do we need a gmail account" questions.  Any volunteers will go to work with 10-15 of her students in the lab and then actually post the instructions on her blog for her students. Let me know f you're interested. Enjoy your evening.
And a HUGE good luck to our cross country runners.
Hey,
I don't have the sheet with the microscope words on it, so if someone has time could they post the words we're supposed to study? I pretty sure was absent that day, and I saw someone had that sheet.. I'm pretty sure there aren't that many words so if someone had time that would be a HUGE favor.

Thanks- Claire.
