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!

Be My Guest…Blogger!
Write a short paragraph about an experience you’ve had here at Durham Nativity School within the last two weeks and submit it to me by Monday, October 12, 2009. You may want to write about:
The Blue Ridge Visit
The McCallie Visit
The School Fair at Duke School
The Gold & Blue Games: Almost Does Count
What Not to Do if You Want Recess
Paragraph should be typed in proper format and saved on your flashdrive (FirstNameInitialLastName-Assignment Title).
Paragraph should be edited for proper spelling, grammar and sentence structure.
*Remember: The key word in extra credit is e-x-t-r-a, which means you are making extra effort and will submit an excellent piece of work.

Students have been given a blank keyboard containing color-coded finger families (FF). Students should create a list of all words they could possibly type using the colored letters on their sheets. There are four versions distributed: Orange FF, Purple FF, Green FF, Red FF. Good luck! Due, Friday, October 9, 2009.

PLEASE READ CAREFULLY:
7th graders who did not score well on the Microsoft Word Test are REQUIRED to do corrections for a small percentage of recovery points. These corrections should be on a seperate sheet of paper, attached to your original test, and signed by a parent/guardian. Here is how you should correct your test:
1. Write the question.
2. Ask yourself, why did I write this answer, and why is this answer incorrect?
3. Write down your response to your question (#2).
Do this for each portion you missed. Correcting your test will help you to understand why you chose the wrong answer, and will likely prevent incorrect answers in the future.
Touch Keyboarding Quiz requires signature only. There will be no re-tests/corrections.
Both the test and the quiz are due to Ms. Dozier on Monday, October 12, 2009.
