Thursday, October, 11

Hello, to all!!!

Today is test day!  We are testing over rocks and minerals.  We have spent the week going over things to prepare for the test.  I hope everyone studied!!!  :)  Tomorrow is our big field trip to Bob Evans Farm Festival.  I am reminding everyone today to dress for the weather!!!  We are not going to the beach, so I should not see flip-flops and tank tops.  It is going to be cool, so they will need a jacket.  They can tie it around them, if they get warm.  The entire festival is outside and we need to make sure we are ready for it.  The students will get their $3 coupon towards food, when they get there.  I am looking for a very good day!!!  The kids always have such a good time and learn so many cool things about our Appalachian heritage.  We will be getting a student teacher on Monday.  She will be here for eight (8) weeks.  Her name is Kelsey McFarland.  She will take over after about a week.  There is still one more part of rocks and minerals that I need to cover, so she may have to finish that and then she will look at the standards and decide what she wants to cover with them.  I am looking for a very good experience with her and the students.  She loves using technology as much as I do!!!  I am still working on grading the presentations from last week.  Please be patient with me on this.  It takes so much longer to grade those than a normal assignment.  Since I am grading each student on just their part, it is like I am grading over 100 individual projects.  The ones I do have completed are in the computer.  I am putting the extra credit they earned on the project in with their grade, so it is already figured in for you.  Well, I have projects and tests to grade, so I need to go.  Have a great weekend.  Talk to you then!!!
