Kemp - Brazile 8/31

Parents –

 

I'm a man on the edge. Technology is trying to kill me, I think. Not the cyborg robots from the future, but the stress-inducing tech here at school. Our Smartboard only works when IT is in here and our iRespond clicker system doesn't freak out when they're around either. Today they're both giving me fits, turning an hour test into 2 hours. I also found out that many of your emails were deleted from the class distribution list. I can't show you the archived emails because that was one of the addresses deleted. I know the archive address was in there because a couple of the emails got to the archive over the last few weeks. However, I apologize for you not receiving them all.

 

To recap, we've been working on a lot a school.

 

I've fixed it and have an email for every student verified in there. I email at least once a week, so if you don't get one for a while, something is wrong.

 

We have a Social Studies test tomorrow on Citizenship. They need to know the answers to the Essential Questions on the project website (http://brazile.education/social_studies/citizenship1.html) . It's a short unit and a basic test. To review, they should look over their project work (hopefully they've turned it in digitally so they have copies – I'm trying to get all the hand-written work back as soon as possible when I get it). We start the Civil War/Reconstruction Unit this week.

 

In Science, we're working on Constructive/Destructive Forces.

 

In Reading, we're finishing our basic skill work with Hatchet by Gary Paulsen.

 

If you have any questions, please ask.
