TEST Wednesday, 10/2: Thinkwave Sign-In

You are required to sign into Thinkwave no later than Wednesday, 10/2.  Signing in will count as a test grade.  Thinkwave shows me the lst date & time you accessed your grades, which is how I will issue grades for this assignment.

Failure to email by Sunday, if necessary, will result in a delay in your received a new code.  The deadline to access Thinkwave will not be extended.

90% of your work has been graded & entered as of 8 pm last night.

RAK Wall

RAK = Random Acts of Kindness

To enjoy a pretzel, you must do the following:
1. On an index card in the green bin by my desk, write one nice thing you did for someone else since your class ended yesterday.  There had to be absolute no gain in this act for you.  The sole purpose & result of the act was to make someone else feel good, better, or valued.
2. Pin the card to the RAK Wall in the back of our classroom with a push pin (also found in the green bin...be careful) at the END of class.
3.  You may take 2 pretzels after completing this task (the amount may vary moving forward based on the size of the pretzels I'm able to buy.)
4.  You may only write one card per day.

Writing must be big enough to read from the front row.  Write your RAK on he front, write your name & class period on the back.  Pin the card with the RAK facing out.

Cards must be taken before the stat of class & pinned at the end of class.  You may not write out the card while we are working on something else unless you are finished with that assignment.  Violations of an of these procedures or rules will render you ineligible for 5 class days.

Starts Wednesday, 9/25.

My RAK?  I buy the pretzels.

TEST Oct. 8: Chapter 22 Exam

Your Chapter 22 Exam will be on Tuesday, 10/8.  The Quizlet Review has been open since 9/12.  If you have been in class, paid attention, done your homework, and study you should do very well on the test.  STUDY THE REVIEW IN QUIZLET - it was made using the material on your exam.

You Chapter 22 Video packets are due at the start of class on this day as well.

Make up for legal absences is before school (per my make-up policy), last day to make up is Friday, 10/11.  Failure to make-up the exam will result in a zero for that test.  Cuts & illegal absences cannot be made up, and anyone late to class will not receive extra time on the exam.  Make-up period ends at 7:15 AM.  To have the same amount of time for the test as was offered in lass, you must arrive to 1823 by 6:45 AM.  You can arrive after that time, but your time ends at 7:15 AM.

If you can't come before school to make up the exam don't be absent for it!
