OSU/Michigan Video...

Before Thanksgiving Break I posted a video of what was supposed to be a funny video of an Ohio State fan on a blind date with a Michigan fan.  The OSU fan realizes that his date is a Michigan grad and hurls himself out the car.

I just checked it this morning and-- that wasn't the video.  Umm....I fixed it now....sorry.

Both videos (the one before and the one now) were ESPN commercials...its just that...well, one of them I would never put on a school blog.

Sorry

My Thanksgiving Break

Tuesday we finally put ornaments on the tree.

After ornaments, Brooklyn and Tristan made cookies with mom.

"Help me out, bro....Hook me up with something messy and unhealthy...Thanks."

"Look, you may not think so...but my butter knife here thinks that I'm DONE with high chairs....If ya' know what I mean.

Skull Session before the OSU game

At the 'The Game'.

Victory formation.

Scoreboard

Great game!!

This Michigan fan is not very happy.

Taking Notes with Electronic Devices...

I know that many students are taking pictures of notes and storing them in their ipods/ipads/kindles/etc.  

You should know that it is still my expectation that you still either write it down or type it.  The reason:  by going through the process of journaling the notes down helps in the learning process.  By simply taking a picture I have no idea if you are going back and looking at the picture, or studying it in any capacity.

So, please remember-- you still need to write or type them.

Speaking of notes...

New Tab:  Science Notes...

I have compiled all the notes we have taken thus far in Science Chapter 15:  Forces and Motion.  The notes can be found under the 'Science Notes' tab up near the top of the page.

Geocache...
