Update your bracket!!!! (Bonus Opportunity)

Have you voted?
According to NASA:
Voting is now open for the second round of Tournament: Earth. Only 16 images remain: how did your favorites fare in the first round? Many of the top seeds survived, but the “events” section has been turned upside down. Vote now, as the second round will close at 4pm EDT on Friday, March 14.
You will need to update your bracket to earn more points. Looks like you may have a chance to update for two or three weeks when you return from Spring Break. You must vote each week and have proof of participating in order to get your points. Good luck.

If you have not started yet then you better jump right in before tomorrow. Participate each week.

Updates for Upcoming....

The CGA will be taken by all students next week. It starts on Monday for B day and they will finish on Wednesday. A day will start on Tuesday and finish on Thursday. Review your benchmark results. The test is supposed to be the same test (or very similar) as the benchmark. Study the areas where you did not do well. And then study where you did well.

All grades will be updated next week. Yes, there are a lot to post. Please be patient. They will all be posted by next Friday. Grading period ends on 4/1/14- No joke.

I am working to enter each student in the 6th and 7th grade books if you want to review material from those years. It takes time, but you should see access by Sunday.

FCAT EXPLORER Reports and CGA info

I printed out the FCAT EXPLORER reports today. Everyone should have completed 256 questions. Many of the grades look very good and you will see them posted this week. The grade you earned is the percentage of questions you completed multiplied by your scores on the first and second tries. If you completed 256 questions (according to your Explorer's Report) then you will earn the percentage listed. If you didn't complete everything then I will calculate your grade by dividing your total completed by 256 and multiplying by your percentage. It would be a great idea for you to do the calculations before you see the grade posted.


The CGA will be next week. Remember it is a 2 day test. We will test Monday/Wednesday and Tuesday/Thursday. Friday is make-up day. That is also the day of the Shrek trip. All CGAs must be completed before you go on the trip. A study guide will be available on Wednesday and Thursday. Review your notes and activities.
