Our room is covered with Cardboard!!
The challenge is off. We have cars and games and houses and trees. What a wonder.
Today we flash-drafted our own essay about a character of our choosing. We will try to get a typed draft by tomorrow. If not, after vacation it must be.
RAFT however, needs to be done by Monday January 4th (preferably sooner.) We have one more class period tomorrow. Students may use some of cardboard challenge time if they choose.
We had a very serious talk about computer use with Mr. Hamilton today. Mr. Meadows and Ms. Lamb have new rules. Absolutely no games during school. Students must not have any extensions on their computers. Students may only be on approved sites. Students in Ms. Lamb's room must always use computers facing in so she or the study hall monitors may see screens at all times.
Students are trusted with computers and they can be very very distracting. If need be, students will not use computers. They will be completing work on paper. If a site is required, they will use the teachers computer to be on that site only.
Having a personal computer is a big responsibility. Please remember that this belongs to the school, including your account. Students may not open their personal accounts at school.
Homework tonight:
Study for science test tomorrow
Finish R.A.F.T.
Finish word hunt and 8 great sentences for word study
READ READ READ
Tomorrow we enjoy some cardboard challenge time and a band and chorus concert by all of our BRMS musicians at the end of the day.
Students are also thinking of something they can share in our talent show on Tuesday morning.
