Today, we had many shadows in the class, and Faith brought in cookies. We decided to make a food schedule, because honestly the cookies really hit the spot.  While Kelsie, Maddie and I were in the back of the room creating our food schedule, in calendar form, our shadows introduced themselves. I had a shadow on Friday, her name is Hannah, and she goes to C. Milton Wright. We used to play lacrosse when we were younger! For her fun fact, she said that she had cancer when she was really young. Everyone in class was so surprised by this, especially me! I would have never guessed that she did or ever had it. Anyways, finally we started class and reviewed questions that could possibly be on an upcoming test, and information that we should definitely know. First is that every place on earth takes up space. Next, geographers use maps as their primary tool not only for identifying points on the earths surface but also as means to compare phoneme between different places. The art and science in making maps is called cartography. There are twenty-four different time zones, and that GPS means global positioning system. Then, we discussed true and false questions, and how you really have to pay attention to the wording so it doesn't trick you.

New Uniforms and Politically Grouped States

Today in class we discussed for a long time about PSAT's. Mr. Schick was telling us how his daughter had difficulty trying to accomplish this test on her own. I took it into consideration when he said that his daughter got help and her score on this test started to improve. This test is on your own knowledge but that doesn't mean that you can't use other people's knowledge to help you be successful. His daughter got a tutor specifically for the SAT's and her scores began to increase. I thought about this and how it helped her, instead of doing it all solo. Then from that conversation somehow our uniforms got brought up. Then Mr. Schick told us that he thinks we should wear flight suits and how much more convenient they would be instead of uniforms. We had a long conversation about this and our thoughts about it. My final thought about this is that it has potential to be good but it needs a little bit of help. After half of the class went by then we finally got worki...

talk

Today in class Mr. Schick was talking all about exams. He began talking about the schedule for them. The first day is Religion, and Social Studies. Then the second day is Science and English. And the final day is Math and Spanish. Personally, I am not looking forward to the second day at all. After we found out the schedule, he told us how the times worked. Even though most of us already had the Patriot Transition class that gave us information about it. He said that we have a set hour and a half to take the exam. We can not leave before this time is up. Then we can have an extended fifteen minutes to work if we still have the extra time. After this, then Mr. Schick went on and talked about the format of his test. He said that there will be 100 multiple choice questions, and then two essays. He said that he would give us the prompts to the essays so we are prepared for them. I think we all appreciated that. He said that the multiple choice questions are all worth one point and then the...
