What a Week!


Well, what a week it has been.  This week was homecoming week and we had a lot of wild and wacky events happening around the school.  From crazy hats, nerds to a few of the elderly, it was certainly a week like no other. It was really fun to see all the students and teachers dressing up in full costume to show their Wildcat spirit.  Of coarse, geriatrics day would not be complete without a friendly, walker hall racing competition.


This week was full of fun homecoming events but students also made the effort to arrive at school early and  gather around the flagpole to pray.   Students united together to sing and pray.  They prayed for their school, their country and their fellow students.

Although we have had lots of fun outside of class we have certainly accomplished a lot in class as well.  Students have been working on a project that required them to find, print and the nine major parts of a computer.  Students have learned about the basic functions of the heatsink and fan, CPU, RAM and motherboard.  It has all been quite interesting.

      

Last of all the students were introduced to Quizlet.  Quizlet is a great Web 2.0 tool that allows you to make and study note cards.  It allows you to play several different games with your card sets as well as study and test yourself.   It is also available as an app on iOS.  Students spent time creating and studying different note card sets for all of their core subjects. Hopefully, this experience has helped them become more familiar with a great Web 2.0 tool, as well as, getting some valuable study time for their other classes.  If you want to check out Quizlet for yourself go to www.quizlet.com.

What a week! Go Wildcats!

  18. This week at school has been different than all the others,well of course its homecoming, first of all we got to dress up with crazy socks and hats.I got to wear my favorite hat (cookie monster) and my best socks(zebra print with sparkles).The next day was nerd day, but like in the movies where do you see a nerd without a football/ bully so i wore my football shirt that day.The next day was geriatric day and so i dressed up as a nursing home helper while my peers dressed up like elders and some looked very convincing.Today we have been dressing up in our school colors "Red and Black so bold!"
