Ms. Dozier's DNStarship: Climb Aboard!

With the exception of Lazaro, who is absent, all planners have been signed. Students will need to have parents sign both the test and quiz and then initial the planner. Return these to school on Tuesday, October 27, 2009.

…should be signed and returned to school on Thursday, October 22, 2009. All planners have been signed by me and should be signed by parents upon return.     
Side Note: Epic Tales are currently being edited by students, in order for them to be displayed in the classroom.

Nice work, Emmanuel C., Jordan S., and Kevin G! Way to make an extra effort. Stay tuned for your guest blogger entries…

Materials Needed:  Microsoft Excel, TypeOnline WPM and % exercise recordings

Students will determine the best method for designing a spreadsheet which shows their progression from a beginner-typist to an intermediate-typist. They will do this by inputting

onto an Excel spreadsheet,  the word-per-minute scores and accuracy percentages they recorded after completing the ten (10) exercises for Lessons One through Four at http://www.typeonline.co.uk .

This project is due for 8th graders on Thursday, October 22, 2009 by the end of class. 

7th Grade: Due on Tuesday, October 27, 2009

6th Grade: Due on Wednesday, October 28, 2009

Hi, guys! As you learn, so must I! Remember, Docendo Discitur? Well, I hope that our T-shirt designs, our class mixed cds and earthquake simulation projects prove to us all (yes, Magistra, too) that there is more than one way to skin a cat, and not just because Magistra said it. Here, I am learning how to share my posts online. Next, I am going to post a student news video on my blog. This is cool stuff! I hope you never stop learning! I sure won’t!
