It's a Wrap!

It is finally here......ELECTION DAY!  After months of campaigning, the final decision will be made this Tuesday.  Do you think there will be a lot of people voting or very few?  This has most definitely been one of the most controversial political campaigns of our country's history. If you are interested you can check out the history of Presidential Elections.  I am thinking many of you are also very tired as your bodies are still trying to adjust to the change in time.  Why do we change out clocks?  Click this link to find out more.

We have a short and crazy week.  There is no school on Tuesday.  Teachers will be in school, but students will not.  Our week ends on Thursday this week as we will honor our veterans on Friday.  I hope everyone takes some time on Friday to remember all those men and women who have served our country and sacrificed so much so we have the freedoms we enjoy.

In this short week we will finish up our History of Email timelines.  If time allows I would like to start looking at blogs, but we will have to wait and see.

Enjoy your short week!

Another Crazy Week

It is another crazy week at BIS.  We did not have school on Monday in honor of our nation’s veterans.  I hope you all took some time to reflect on how lucky we are to live in the United States with all of our freedoms and realize many men and women have made huge sacrifices so we can enjoy these freedoms.  There were many events honoring these men and women on Cape Cod over the long weekend:  Veterans Events on Cape Cod.

It is hard to believe next week will only be a two day week due to our Thanksgiving Break.  WOW!!!  November is flying by so quickly.  Have no worries; if you have missed any classes due to school not being in session you will get caught up soon.  Everyone will look at BPS Commenting Guidelines this week.  Last year I found a great resource for commenting.  Please check it out on my “virtual” twin, Virtual 231’s post, “Beginning Blogging.”  There are some great “comment starters” in this post.  You will create some “paper comments” using post it notes to place on your classmates’ “paper posts.”  I will be assessing your paper posts and looking carefully at your comments.  Please be sure to check the BPS Commenting Guidelines as you are creating your comments.  You will have an opportunity to read your classmate’s comments before turning in your “paper posts.”    

Please remember I am making sure you are ready to go in to the “deep end of the pool.”  I am going to be sending you there with your “swimmies” on, but you are getting ready to swim that way soon!!
