ISTEP +

YMS,

I want everyone to know that I am very proud of the effort you put into ISTEP+ testing this week.  Only one more day left (until the testing next month).  I know it is difficult for students your age to work through multiple hours and days of testing.  Keep working hard everyday in your classes.  I appreciate all of you!

The death of the texting lower case “i”…..at least on this blog.

Let this be the final notice that I will be deleting all future responses that do not correctly capitalize the letter “I”.  I am all for technology and certainly understand the need for “i” when you are sending quick text messages to friends and family.  However, this is a school blog and it represents you and our building and I don’t think it is asking too much effort on your part to hold down that “Shift” key when typing your “i”.  Thank you to all for making this blog great!

Mr. Braun from Haiti

I had a lot of students that were curious about our Haiti stop, before I left.  If you can pass this along to them, I thought they may be interested…. Thank you!

We arrived in Labadee Haiti, Monday morning around 9, and are just getting ready to leave now at 4.  We are located 100 North of the earthquake, and everything here is undamaged.  Our cruise is bringing supplies to the island which will be deliver to Port Au Prince, and other areas in need.  Many passengers have donated money and the cruise line, itself, is donating all proceeds from the stop.

Off to Jamaica tomorrow!

Do well in class this week, as it is filled with very critical information that you will need to be successful with the remainder of the course.

See you next week!

Mr. Braun

Mario vs. Sonic

Who is the greatest video game character of all time?  My kids love both.  I came more from the Nintendo generation….so I lean more towards Mario.  What do you think?  I need supporting opinions in your post if you want published.  A minimum of 4 sentences.

Suggestion Box

suggestion_boxI have had multiple students post they believe I should take suggestions for items of interest to include on our blog.  Here is your chance!  What types of things would you like to see me put on our blog?  Give good reasoning and thought to your suggestions.

Twilight Saga

twighlightIs anyone excited about the new Twilight movie?  Less than a month away!  Tell me about your favorite characters in the series and what “twists” you think might be in the upcoming movie.  Also, be sure to check out the posts below where I need ideas for activities.

1 year!

I just realized the blog is over one year old and there have been over 400 posts by students.  You are awesome YMS.  Thanks for reading and commenting on the site!  Read the two posts below (Ideas Needed parts 1 and 2).

Rule change

Your principal has asked students to suggest a school rule that should be changed. Think of one rule that you would like to have changed. Write a letter convincing your principal that this rule should be changed. Be sure to support your opinion with convincing reasons and evidence.

Complete thoughts are required.  Posts with “i” (lowercase) in them will automatically be deleted.
