The last blog post of the 2010-2011 school year

Parents,
I wanted to write one last post for this school year.  Even though we ended the school year last week, we know that learning is life long.  I look forward to a summer of opportunities to learn- about life and myself- so that when I come back in the fall, I am reenergized for a new school year.

During that last week of school, we were studying super heros.  I told the students I would make a gallery of the pieces they made.  That gallery can be found here.

I hope you found these communications useful.  If you have any comments or suggestions for next year, I would love to hear them.  You can send them to bozmd@comcast.net.

Students, have a good summer.  Stop by and say hi sometime next year.

A Super Hero is due Thursday

We have been doing a brief study of the super hero genre.  For tomorrow, the students were to have created a super hero and defined him/her.  They were given a worksheet.  They were also supposed to have created a visual of the hero.  Finally, they were to answer the question "Why do we need super heros?"

Even though the grades are done, I still expect the students to complete this.  I might make it a grade if I get little or no participation.  Life is not all about grades.  Sometimes we do things to keep our minds active and to explore.

Section 6 has not been working on this project.  Again, that class was not quite on the same schedule as the other classes.

Students took the vocab final today. Grades are pretty much done.

The grades are updated for sections 3, 4, 5, and HB.  What is on HAC is pretty much the 4th MP grade.  Next week we will be doing some little exercises, but I am not sure how much they will impact the grades if at all.

So, grade wise, that is about it!

Have a nice weekend.

(Section 6 is wrapping up a few loose ends.)

The vocab final is Friday

We have spent the last week doing activities that will have helped students prepare.  However, students still need to review on their own.  The final will count for about 8% of the 4th MP grade.

Have you checked HAC lately?  I have been updating grades.
