Rain, Rain Go Away!!

After a long summer of no rain, lately it doesn't seem as though it will ever stop!  To make matters worse, there is a mammoth hurricane swirling around in the Caribbean.  Hurricane Matthew quickly strengthened to a category 5 hurricane over the weekend; the strongest possible rating.  What are the categories of hurricanes and what does all that mean? Check out the explanation from the National Hurricane Center. Let's keep our fingers crossed and hope he takes a hard turn to the east and goes out to sea!!

This week you will complete Part 2 of the 21st Century Skills Assessment.  I know this is a long process and not very exciting, but the data will benefit us all!  I can't wait for you to see how much you have learned when you  You should have a reading book with you and know what to do.  You will take Part 2 of the 16/17 Pre-Assessment.  If you were absent last week, you need to take Part 1 today and will have to take Part 2 at another time.  Please be sure to read the questions carefully and think before answering.  Once you have completed all the questions, "Turn In Test", log out of Learning.com, sign out of your workstation and read quietly.  Please go to Learning.com, sign in and begin the assessment.  If you have any questions, please raise you hand and I will come over to help you.

During our second class this week we will review our iPad rules using Kahoot.  Before we get started, I would like you to watch this video from Apple Education.  It shows how some students are using iPads to improve their learning.  Perhaps it will give you some ideas.  Once we have finished the review, I will share a blank iPad Assessment Study Guide with you.  We will complete this together and you will need to use it to help you prepare for your assessment in a couple of weeks. We should also have some time to clean up your iPads.

Have a great week!!
