First of all, a BIG CONGRATULATIONS to those who are moving on to the regional NHD competition: Natalie, Grace A. and Amanda, Ben, and Annika. I am here to support you and give you feedback, so please do not hesitate to come and discuss NHD with me. To the rest of you, CONGRATULATIONS on making it through your first NHD journey! All of you worked so hard, and I am proud of your efforts!
Here are some other notes from today:
Advanced Math: You had the chance to see your summative assessment grades for the quadratic unit. If you do not like your score, you can take a (different) test to show your knowledge--but not until after you participate in two study sessions for each part. Please come and talk to me to set this up. Study sessions will be Monday, Wedneday, and Friday after school. (Tuesday and Thursday I have Student Council and Yearbook, but once you get to a retake, you are welcome to retake on those days.)
Language Arts: This week, we are just silent reading. I will be requiring some journaling toward the end of the week.
Social Studies/Odyssey Project: You and your group member(s) should have read your chapter from the Odyssey. Tomorrow is your last day to read, and then you'll begin to create your 3-minute skit for the class movie.

TWO BIG REMINDERS:
NHD PROJECTS MUST BE FINALIZED BY NOON TOMORROW!
You will have from 9:30-noon to finalize your masterpieces. Students who haven't yet completed their process papers and annotated bibliographies will not be allowed to work on their projects until their papers and bibliographies are printed out and turned in.
ADVANCED MATH STUDENTS, YOU HAVE A TEST TOMORROW!
Study session tonight from 7 to 8 p.m. Check Edmodo for the TodaysMeet room. (I still have not found a "real-time" meeting place with whiteboard access. Please let me know if you find anything like that.)February 11, 2013

Schedule for this week:
TOMORROW: FISH HATCHERY FIELD TRIP! Dress in layers, with WARM clothes, socks, boots, and other winter attire. It might be a good idea to bring an extra pair of socks and shoes to change into once we get back to school. Otherwise, you might have cold, wet feet for the rest of the day.
WEDNESDAY: FINAL NHD WORK TIME! Those of you who did not successfully complete and turn in a copy of your process paper and annotated bibliography before you left today will start the day by doing this. No one can fine-tune his/her project until he/she turns in both of these items.
THURSDAY: NHD SCHOOL COMPETITION! Everyone will meet in Room 316 (Mrs. J's room). We will let you know the plan later.
