GLE #17 Due Friday

The GLE #17 assignment is due Friday for 25 project points. Projects may not be dropped but may be turned in late for -25%/day. The article you use must be from a print periodical (though it may be accessed online) and must PROPOSE SOLUTIONS to the problem. See the iDisk for instructions and the worksheet. I'd like you to attach the article to the worksheet.

Test 3.2 Rescheduled

This morning's announcement that the high school counselor meetings have been moved to Friday requires me to move the test to Monday.  I will give the test on GLEs 14-16 on Thursday. Expect a binder check with each test.

Test/Binder Check 3.2

Our next test and binder check will be on Wednesday, February 9th, or on Friday if we have a school closure.  I will not give the test on Thursday because of a school event that will eliminate 6th period on Thursday.  The test will cover GLEs 11, 12, and 13 as well as the levees material from Monday, January 31st. See the iDisk for help with the GLEs (notes, puzzles, etc.).

The Spanish administrator that stumped several students on the puzzle is Jean-Jacques Blaise d'Abbadie (yes, despite the French name, he worked for Spain).

Art Map of Louisiana

I have posted the new rubric and instructions for the Art Map of Louisiana project on the iDisk. The due date in April is posted on the board in class.

A Smart Fundraiser for SmartBoards

Recycle. Reuse. Reap the rewards! Your PTSA is teaming up with Mixed Bag Designs to purchase SMARTBoards for every classroom at CMM!

Order forms will come home with students on Monday, Jan. 24 and the sale will run through Feb. 7.  For those who order online, go to www.mixedbagdesigns.com/Shop-All-Retail and enter our school code 36621 at the end of the check out process.

These eco chic reusable bags are made from woven polypropylene and up to 40 percent of the content is post-consumer recyclables. They come in a bevy of designs and sizes, including covers for iPhones and laptops. Reuse them again and again as a grocery bag, laundry bag, book bag, toy bag, beach bag or just a hold-everything bag. Personalize them with a monogram for a great end-of-the-year gift.
