Hey everyone! The weekend's here! Today I collected a sparce number of the blog assignment homework that was due today. It seems that many of you are not able to access this site just yet.
Today book numbers were assigned as well as the Book Masters for the upcoming week. I also passed out the extra passes to those that earned them. The students read Chapter 1 sections 1 and 2 today while I continued to set up making the grade (which is up and running now) Next week the students will have a Health Article due. It will be assigned on Monday and due the following Friday. All work turned in should be graded this weekend and put in the computer by the end of Monday and students should be able to check their grades by Tuesday at the latest. Have a good weekend, and I hope you go to the Welcome Back Dance and have a blast!

I also asked the students to answer a few questions on a separate sheet of paper to turn in to me.

2. How do you feel this can be changed?
3. How do you think you "are" physically speaking? And what can you do to improve this?

How this thing will work

My hope for you in using this blog, is that you will find that this is a tool that will help you stay on top of your assignments in the event that you are absent from class for any length of time. I will list the daily assignments and possibly include the weekly assignments here as well. I hope that you will find this a useful tool that will help insure that you stay up to date in what's going on in the classroom. I will do my very best to update this information before I leave school for the day, that way the information is guaranteed to be correct and true. Thanks.
