Distracted: The Erosion of Attention...

Next Steps...

Ok guys, so far so good with the blogger learning.  Our next step is labeling.  Each time you make a new post (not a comment), you should add the label at the bottom right corner of the post box.  This allows us to simplify and organize our posts.  Right now we're only going to use labels for Homework posts.  You'll see once you do this that "labels" will start to appear in the bottom of the post you publish.  Just click on homework and voila - there are all the homework post for the year!  Have a super weekend and Happy Birthday weekend to Sophia and Vivian!!

Website Creating

Here's another website I found that you can create your own website, blog, photo gallery or forums.
http://www.en.altervista.org/

I have removed Jon's post here because the site that he recommends is not reputable. If you read the licensing agreement, it states that the contents of any and all sites you create belongs to them.  Not really a problem for us but if you start building a site now, you will want to know that the ideas are your own and not attributed to someone else. : )

Homework

Homework:

Geography-Map is on Wednesday
English-Wordle for what you learned in October

Sign your report cards!!!

Have a GREAT weekend!!!! :D

Tomorrow

Hey guys.  I thought Sophia could use a laugh to forget about being sick - see videos.

First thing tomorrow we have Parag's group presenting their data and research for math.  Don't forget!

Also a HUGE THANKS to our painting crew for their awesome work today.  Great job guys!

Ms.Simeone will be teaching tomorrow as I will be in the office.

HELLO 8H

Hello my Fellow Canadians and Classmates.

I was sick again today 2 for 2... Which is not a good thing :(. I went to the doctors today and they said i have a sinus infection so I'm on medication. And I have to take it 3 times a day so should I bring the pills to school??? I have to bring them to the office right??? So the map for Africa, is that what we were working on at school last week??? Mr Oickle, can I hand it in tomorrow cause I cant type it out... Anything exciting happened in Drama + Music? I might not be coming to school tomorrow. My mom has the impression that the doctor told me not to come to school tomorrow cause I have to do this thing or something I don't know. But I want to come tomorrow cause I've missed 2 days this week!!! AHHHHH!!!!! Staying home is sooooooooo boring :(

Thanks ya'll for the BIRTHDAY WISHES... isn't just lovely being sick on your birthday...
