24 August

Today the students and I went over how to access the text book from the internet and the components that are contained there. They had a trivia question today as well. We also went over some of the titles for the book review (they are encouraged to find a book to read for extra credit) The book just has to be factually sound and based on a health related topic. I will provide the list we went over later. Finally, they worked on finishing their work in the textbooks from Chapter 1 with the time left over (with the knowledge that if they didn't finish in class they now can finish at home by accessing the book on the internet.)

Today the students who did not present their health articles or turn in their blog assignment did so today. They were assigned book numbers for use in the classroom. We read the first section of chapter 1 in the text. I put the completed/graded work in the computer and also put the grade report up on the board for their perusal. We also talked about the extra credit opportunities that are nearing the end. The donations to the classroom are due before the 29th. The extra credit book review is due before the end of the first four weeks.
