Good morning again!

Mrs. Swallow's surgery went well (thank you for asking) and I'm just waiting ... and waiting ... and waiting for them to bring her back so I can see her.

You may have noticed that comments are now available on some articles.  You must be logged-in to view and post comments.  Please keep your comments on-topic.  You may post questions, or thoughtful remarks.  Since I'm a teacher, I expect that you will use proper sentences, grammar and reasonably good spelling before I post your comments.  No silliness, please!

  • Great comment:  "Mr. S, where do we find the supplies to do this assignment?"
  • Great comment:  "That was an awesome article on salamanders.  I had no idea those little guys were so fascinating!"
  • Great comment:  "May I write an article on the political ramifications of post WWII treaties?  Please?"
  • Not-so-great comment:  "cool"
  • Not-so-great comment:  "u r ah-sum.  ples give us resess mr s u wood b the best teacher if u give xtra resess plese plese plese plese PLESE!!!!!!!!!"

Good morning, Classy Class!

Happy Wednesday!  I gave Mrs. Swallow your get-well card and she thought it was sweet and really appreciated it.  I'm sorry I won't be there today.  I'm sure you all would have enjoyed giving me a hard time about falling asleep during the assembly.  Mrs. McLain will be with you today, so of course, you're in great hands.  Treat her well, okay?  More instructions follow ... Just click on "Read more ..."

Hey, Classy Class ...


Sorry I'm away today and I'll miss your big orientation.  I hope you have a BLAST.  Tell me all about it later.


Here's the plan for today:


Rotations

You have time for research today.  Look for great sources online, or use the printed resources at the back table.  If you need more notecards, I have left some with your substitute teacher.  If you have a question for Mr. S, you can go to CubTalk and post it to the "Talk To Mr. S" section.

I miss all of you

Hey, Classy Class-


I left plans with Mrs. McLean for you to work on your media projects this afternoon.  You should have ALL your storyboard planning done.  If it is, then you and your group buddies can go to work on all your images (drawing, painting, Inkscape, Gimp, Keynote), sounds (Audacity and Garageband) and video clips (iMovie).  If you need to shoot video, wait for tomorrow.  I'll let you work on the stage then.  Questions?  Post a message to me on CubTalk.  I'll check it every now and then this afternoon. 

Stay focused, work hard, cooperate, have fun, and make it a GREAT day!

-Mr. S

Equipment is going missing in Mr. Swallow's room.  Yes, sadly, it's true:  Basketballs, dodgeballs, kickballs, headphones ... they're all being taken and roofed or lost.  It's bad, and Mr. Swallow won't be buying replacements any longer.
