Last week on the last day before break these people from the county office stopped by (Dr. Emory, Mrs. Harris, Mrs.Olmstead, Mr. DeCresie). Many thought they were pilgrims but they were dressed as pioneer, as you can see in the picture above. They came dressed this way because they feel we are pioneers at SGE this year. Why are they calling us pioneers this year for Pitt County? What importance does this have to you? How does it make you feel to be so important in Pitt County and this experience? How do you think the iPad has made you a better learner? How can it help you take things a step further into creating instead of just remembering? When you have posted a thorough response please continue to study island and complete benchmarks or assignments.
WELCOME BACK!! I hope you had some good rest and some YUMMY food and are back and ready to learn! I am thankful for each and every one of you! We have a lot of assessing coming up so you really need to "get your heads on straight" and "get in the game" and lets get some awesome and creative work done. BUT that means I need you to promise to do your part for me. So what did you do with your family? What was the best thing you ate? After your post, go to Study Island and get started. Today is Parent- Teacher Conferences. How do you think you have been doing in school so far? What would you tell your parents about your progress? Do you think you have been doing your absolute BEST work that you could do at this point? How do you think you can improve and become a better learner? I will see your parents this afternoon/evening. So the results are in!! Check out the poll results for the student Mock Election that we participated in last week. http://www.studiesweekly.com/vote/results.php Now on to the REAL results of the presidential race.....here are the results from CBSNews: http://www.cbsnews.com/election-results-2012/ Check out the results. How do these results represent the electoral college as we discussed? What do you think about the results? Who is the "NC Winner"? Who won the election for the United States? Why do you think he won? I know I am glad that the political commercials will be over and I don't even have cable! Why do you think it is important to Americans to be able to vote in their President and have a voice in who is chosen? Be sure to answer all questions and follow the blog post comment rubric to give the best answer possible and get the most points possible!! Things are starting to get more normal for me but driving from Wilson some mornings before getting here gives me time to think. To think about how no matter how hard I try to motivate you to do better, until it comes from YOU it won't work....so find it in YOU to make a difference and make this an environment where we all do our BEST ALWAYS!! This morning before you go to study island reflect on ways we can make this a better environment to learn! Then see me for something to glue into your planner to use with a testing app today. Let's make this an awesome day of learning that will start with a great lesson from Miss Scott!
