GHS 

Next Tuesday is a special assembly schedule that 3rd period classes are supposed to go to. I am still waiting to hear from GHS admin how they would like me to handle this.  As soon as I know I will let you know.

SBAC Testing

Each school seems to be doing something different for the State Standardized Testing and although most of you are Seniors and are not testing the school schedule still might be changed for you.  This equals MAYHEM for MedOccs.  I will post your school's schedule on the blog.  Please print it out and decide when you will be going to site for that two week period.  SBAC testing will be taking place the weeks of April 20th and April 27th.  Please let me know as well as your site supervisor know what your plan will be.  Thank you in advance for being FABULOUSLY FLEXIBLE! :)

*AM Class - In light of this crazy schedule I have decided to NOT have class on Wednesday but will have class On Tuesday during the Period 2 time (12:15-1:05) and then Thursday for Period 3.  If you are a non-GHS student that attends my AM class please look at your home schools schedule and see if you can make those times.  This will allow you to go to your site for a longer period of time Monday, Wednesday and Friday.  I will be emailing the site supervisors to let them know it will be a little crazy!

Please define the following terms on a piece of paper.  Do not cut and paste definitions into a doc. Actually take the time to write them on a piece of binder paper.  No typing will be accepted! Why, you might ask? Because it is another way to practice learning the words and these are the terms that you will be tested on this Wednesday! It will be multiple choice.
