School was canceled for our A Day last week, so today was the first time that class has met in 10 days! This was outside my house in 2008 - nothing like the bit of ice that canceled school this time around!
Dear class,
It was so good to see everyone today! It had been way too long. Here's what happened today in class:
Learning Targets Addressed:
Knowledge LT 1: I can demonstrate an understanding of the interplay between citizens and their governments.
Knowledge LT 3: I can demonstrate an understanding of how individuals and non-governmental institutions interact with each other and the government in shaping politics.
Knowledge LT 5: I can demonstrate an understanding of the principles, structures, and functions of different levels of U.S. government.
Soundtrack: "Let it Go" from the movie Frozen. Selected for today because of the ice (at least, at my house!) that canceled school last week. Lyrics here.
AGENDA 11/17/14:
News Brief – A-b
Computer Lab S210
Homework: Read the blog. Study the cabinet descriptions reading (blog exclusive). You might want to download the pdf and then rotate the page (because it is in landscape format). Or, just turn your head, I guess)! Next news brief: A-b (Sandra) and Luke.
News Brief: A-b had the news brief today and did not remember (who can blame her, because it has been so long since we last met). She needs to bring one next class, along with Luke.
We checked out some of the hilarious responses to Beaverton Schools Superintendent Jeff Rose on twitter: KPTV.com -Beaverton students on superintendent who canceled class: 'Not all heroes wear capes'.
Luke was selected to do the next news brief.

Computer Lab S210: We spent the second part of class in the lab. Next time, we will finish in the lab, then be ready to present next class.
Is our project due tomorrow or are we going to be in the lab?
ReplyDeleteBrad,
DeleteYou will have most of the time in the lab. We might start with presentations at the end of class, so be ready to go if needed!
