No Internet at the school today? Ahhhhhhhh!! We went over a review for our respective classes today. In 3rd, 4th, 5th, and 7th period we checked journals and agendas along with homework. I would tell you it's up to date on Edline but unless the Internet gets fixed that will be impossible. In other news the boys laid down the law against Winfield 30-6. I guess I gave the Generals a little too much credit. Way to go guys, a special shout out to Alex Childers who scored 3 td's, honorale mention to Bobby Mitchell who also scored. Have a great weekend!!

Alrighty then, one more day to go till the weeeeekkkkeeeennnnnnd! Other than a "donut incident" today went off without a hitch (really ladies, donuts? I might expect something like that from the boys). The football team plays at Winfield tonight, my prediction: Milton wins in a high scoring affair 32-23. Don't let me down guys. Here is your summary for today:

3rd, 5th, and 7th Periods:

Tuesday's gone with the wind! Books were passed out to the regular class and Algebra 1 class today (still don't have Pre-Algebra, but they should be coming soon). After exploring the book for a few minutes I wanted to let you know about it's online capability. There are several great resources available to you and your parents. All you have to do is follow the instructions on the inside of the cover. The website is http://www.glencoe.com/. The best thing you can do is to go on there and play, so have fun! Here is your daily summary:

3rd, 5th, and 7th periods: Homework was checked, grades are on edline. We did a little activity on absolute value and passed out books. No work for tonight, enjoy it won't happen often.

Remember the football scrimmage on Thursday @ Winfield 7pm.

Have a great evening!!

Got the first Monday of the year taken care of! All of the classes had a short lesson followed by a worksheet to take home and finish if they didn't get it finished in class. Tonight is our open house (where the parents get to meet and mingle with us teachers), it is from 6-8pm. I strongly encourage parents to come out and meet all their child's teachers. There is valuable information passed along at these meetings and it is much easier to communicate with someone you have met before, remember proactive is much better than reactive. Here are a few tidbits of info for this week:

Today: 7th and 8th grade open house begins in the gym at 6pm
Thursday: Football Scrimmage @ Winfield 7pm

Get out and enjoy some sunshine!!

Don't forget if you have any questions to leave them in a comment for myself or a fellow student to answer!!

2 days down, 178 to go! Today we took a county RTI test in all classes. I was happy with the results! Great job guys! We also went over the kids expectations for me. Some of the suggestions were no homework, lots of extra credit, and pizza parties every Friday. Oh how I wish all of this were possible! Overall I think we have had a very successful start. Remember to post a comment on yesterdays blog entry for extra credit!! On a side note the cross country team is having a car wash today until dark at Advance Auto Parts and Foodland. See ya Monday!!

First Blog of the 2010-2011 year!! We are off and running already! In each of the classes we got to know each other a little better and went over the class syllabus. Remember to post your comments with your name included for a few bonus points! Also, don't forget to have your parents sign and bring back all the forms you received in homeroom. See ya tomorrow!
