April 29 to the End of the Year - Final Exam Study Guide Posted

All Classes:

We will be working on a standards review project to prepare for the final. Presentations begin on Monday, May 6th.  Be prepared to present on this day just in case students are absent.  Your number is the presentation sequence.  However, if we have absences, we will move to the next presentation based on sequence. 

Students choose a number from a bucket.  The number designates the sequence of the final presentations as well as the student's choice for his/her topic.   For example, number one (1) presents first but also has first choice on his/her topic.  Number twenty (20) chooses from the remaining topics but presents later (late Tuesday or Wednesday).

  • OL:  Student product choice:  PowerPoint, PhotoStory, and/or Prezi (www.prezi.com).
  • AC:  Student product choice:  PowerPoint, PhotoStory, Prezi, Meograph (use Mozilla Foxfire), online flip book (Create a PowerPoint.  Save as a PDF.  Upload to:  http://www.pageflip-flap.com/), and/or student choice with teacher approval.

Washington, D.C. Trip:

Parents,

There is a D.C. parent meeting scheduled for this Thursday at 7:00 PM in the theater.  This should be a short meeting since we will just discuss the rules and dress code of the trip and collect any missing forms.  There will be a few people at the meeting that will be able to notarize the medical form if you have not turned it in yet.  Please remember NOT to sign the form until you are in front of the notary.  If you do not have the Cobb County permission form OR the medical form that needs to be notarized please have your student come see me.

I am also attaching a daily medication/permission to provide OTC while on the trip.  All daily medication will be distributed by the R.N.  All prescription medication must be in the original bottles.  The day of the trip you will need to stop by the RN station to give her the medication.

All forms (3) are due on Friday, April 26th.

Itinerary for the trip will be sent in an email since we won’t have it until a week before.  Please email me with any questions.
