Unit 1--Day 8 part 2

I missed writing about this day yesterday--we were in the library learning how to use some of the etools that we have for science this year. Along with my moodle page, we have an online version of our textbook and access, at least for a while, to a site called explorelearning.com It is awesome--it uses gizmos to teach basic concepts that we cover all year long. I really want us to use it this year as much as possible, and convince the district that we need to renew the license.

The moodle page has so much--I post the unit study guide and have many a practice quiz and text there to use. My practice tests are VERY similar to my actual tests, and students that take the time to use them do very well for me.

And of course, I have my blog here. I hope that you find it useful.

Of note today was doing the cheer in the library. The S section did it with two fingers so we could be extra quiet. I also discovered that someone stole one of my monkeys--it was actually the monkey that Hunter brought it. It is being ransomed off for $1,000,000 OWLSbucks.

Sweet justice.
