Since today was a 1/2 day we had shortened class periods so we were just able to get through the student current events presentations which were awesome!
If you would like to check out CNN student news the link is over to the right.
We will spend time finishing up our Glogster ads on Monday but they will be due by the end of the class period on Monday. So if you have a lot to do on your glog you might want to work on it this weekend....
Have a great weekend!

Two big Happy Birthday's go out today....first to Mr. Fullerton!
If you have any questions on the project or have any Glogster issues shoot me a comment or an e-mail! We will continue to work on this in class, but all final projects are due by the end of class on Monday! Remember tomorrow is a half day, have a great night!
Nicely done 2nd hour :)
Our next birthday shoutout goes to Google! Google is 14 today! Where would we be without you...
Strange news today came from Emily. It was about an artist who bakes bread, hollows out the inside, and creates electronic devices that can later be eaten! The creations include alarm clocks, computer mice, radios...imagine waking up, shutting off your alarm clock, and then eating it! Sign me up for that...
Today in class we continued to work on our prehistoric animal ads. They are looking amazing! I am so impressed with every one's creativeness and focus while working on this! Below is an example of an ad created by Cade.

Sept 26, 2012 Glogster
Today we went over how to use Glogster and the requirements for the prehistoric animal project. The project instructions can be found here. On those instructions there is a link to Glogster and a link to instructions on how to use Glogster.
We had some major technical difficulties with the computers so we did not get as far as I hoped we would! We will continue working on these tomorrow! Don't forget to bring your animal notes sheet with you to class tomorrow! Have a good night!

Sept 25, 2012 Project Introduction
Today's strange news was.....the Packer game!! Really refs! We also had some legite strange news...it was a video of some dolphins playing volleyball with jellyfish! Ouch.
We finished taking notes on our prehistoric animals and then we discussed our upcoming project. Students will need to create an ad for their assigned animal trying to get someone to adopt their prehistoric animal as a pet. They will be similar to a Humane Society ad! Certain information will need to be included which can be found on the project instruction sheet. This sheet was also e-mailed to you, so you can find it in your "Shared with Me" folder on Drive as well. You will be using Glogster to complete this project and we will model how to use this in class tomorrow. Here is an instructional sheet as well for Glogster. The idea behind this project is to get creative! Think outside of the box! While still learning real information.
Tomorrow in class we will begin working on this project and will model how to use Glogster. No homework! Have a great night!

Sept 24, 2012 Prehistoric Animals!
Homework: Complete animal notes sheet on your assigned prehistoric animal using this Prehistoric Animal Website
Strange news today came from Kori. It was an inspiring video of a one-legged soccer player scoring a goal. It was awesome! Thanks Kori!
Today in class we started discussing prehistoric animals! We opened by checking out this collection of pictures called Beasts in the Streets! Just for fun :) Each student was assigned a prehistoric animal that they will use for an upcoming project which will be discussed in more detail tomorrow. We went through each animals basic statistics using this prehistoric animal website. Students were to take down the information presented on the website, on this notes sheet for their animal.
Tomorrow we will discuss the upcoming project in more detail and go over the requirements.

Sept 21, 2012 Current Events
Let me say I was SO impressed with this weeks current events! The stories were so interesting! Below is an example of part of Quinn's presentation he created for an article he read about bringing back the Woolly Mammoth! Scientists in Russia discovered a complete Woolly Mammoth preserved in ice. They believe the remains may still have have a living DNA cell, so they are hoping to recreate the species. So Amazing!
Sara also showed us an awesome new invention called the Popinator! You say "Pop" and it sends a piece of popcorn flying towards your mouth. Definitely want one of those!
We took our vocab quiz today which seemed to go very well for everyone! A lot of you used the study tools in yesterday's post which was awesome!
We finished up class with CNN Student News.
Monday is Packer apparel day so wear your favorite Packer gear! Have a good weekend!
