Agenda January 28

1 Journal 73 Chapter 8 pre Reading due Tuesday February 1
2 HW Chapter 8 Directed Reading due Friday February 4 Target Reading in section 1 and 2 (easy Venn diagrams)

These two assignment were started in class because there was a shorter period of time before they were due. I found that a good portion of the class chose to waste that time. In Chapter 9 there will not be ANY class time given to these and the Vocabulary and Constructing Meaning journals. The due dates will only be a little longer. Those fully functional students who have support at home will find this change will only have minor impact on their lives. The other students, who chose to waste the opportunities given in class will find themselves stretched. That is what will cause growth.

Miniatures Club had 2 fascinating games on Friday. One was early war planes and the other featured a few more early war planes with a total of seven 2 seaters. Pilots to watch out for? Sam, Takuma, and Nathan (each with multiple victories) and Dang gets mentioned in dispatches for hanging in so long in a tattered plane. Only 2 weeks to the tournament.

The last few agenda's have not been entered because the district has changed it's protection program. I can no longer easily access this blog from school which is where the information for the blog is. I will be contacting the school site tech support though I have little hope for a quick solution. I do remember today's.
