Taxes in the USA -- Democrats propose to increase taxes on those making 1 million or more. Republicans want to cut Federal services/programs. Both sides need to learn to play nice and work something out. NASA may have found a “habitable zone” (i.e. a planet/solar system similar to Earth where people could live in the future.) Cyber spies (aka Cyber Warriors) -- Britain is looking for Mensa members, puzzle solvers and those great with logic/math to join their special cyber fighting team. We talked about how cyber terrorists could cause pain and suffering in the United States and abroad.
Theme 3 studying.
Soul Shoppe -- we had an assembly on bullying.
science -- an extra credit opportunity was offered, a study guide (that is not extra credit but MANDATORY) and some science reading was also given.
more theme 3 studying and discussion
Singing Class -- the class struggled with their behavior
U.A. -- class worked on www.ixl.com
We ended day working on their open ended projects. We have four different students that were unable to save their research. I have opened up urgent I.T. requests and we hope to have this solved by next week.
Due to the nature of double rotation days, an assembly and our special Dr. Grier presentation yesterday, the project proposal is being pushed until Friday.
Kind regards,
