January 21, 2016



Welp, we are almost through with this very brief week, time does indeed soar when some goal (end of first semester in this case) is nearing...enjoy this fast-moving kind of time while it lasts, and anticipate enjoying your weekends!

As a reminder, this week starts off the Pusong Pinoy Book Drive, hosted jointly by Diversity Club, HOPE Club, and START (art) Club...bring in young-adult new/used books to your house's labeled box (design them if you care to make the boxes more visible/awesomely-aesthetic), cause the senior house that wins will win a HOUSE POINT and if that house wins the school wide competition, it shall win a choice of either a PIZZA OR ICE CREAM PARTY!

Newsroll #3:

HOMEWORK (second rotation)
  • Ortega: finish the second section of "1984" by next Monday and fill out the worksheet with second section questions in your notebooks (you have much less than a week of reading and writing)
  • Piggott: review review packet, and study for the test
    • Rivas: take home test on our thoughts regarding voting in the U.S. (and how this concept applied to what we experienced during our very dramatic/eventful Model Assembly campaign trail) and what grade we think we deserve for work logged into Model Assembly due TOMORROW (follow the directions carefully in how he wants it turned in...); two Source Analyses per person due TODAY by THREE PM (3:00 PM) - share the doc you wrote them on with him, or email them to him!
    --> format of each Source Analysis should look as follows:



    --> schedule of events in the coming weeks:



    • Holt: keep up to date with the material in your textbook readings as we enter a new lesson in the coming weeks, and don't forget to retake your Motion Quiz if you need to and have not done so already (each is out of 28 points, and every point counts in Holt's class as he enters final grades into the grade book this weekend)
    --> study the following pictured vocabulary and where they appear in context...please don't mind the sliver of Holt (haha)


    • Senior Project: Research Check TOMORROW; fill out your second lesson worksheets handed out in advisory house (they help you organize your lesson plan and such)...lessons will be taught by us (who else?) in less than two weeks (first week of February)!

    SCHEDULE OF EVENTS (second rotation)

    - Ortega: Today's class was another light one in that we met in the computer lab and took a NWEA test on language.  Our leftover free time was spent in hopes of being productive (i.e. senior project browsing, dystopian novel reading, etc.).

    - Pigott: We reviewed our review sheet guiding us through solving techniques for matrices in anticipation for our upcoming test (happy studying), then partook in a review competition after choosing groups "middle school PE style".
      - Rivas: Rivas gave us the whole block to work on our source analyses (for upcoming college affordability/value debates) or on our take home test essays (our choosing).

      - Holt: We tested the remaining Angry Bird's rocket flights, while the rest of us tested our projectiles for fun again, worked on extra credit from an advanced Physics textbook, and reviewed for retakes

      Some ASB Announcements...
      --> Keep checking your emails for updates (especially if you are a PowderpPuff player, coach, or cheerleader!
      --> HOPE Club will be selling waffles next Thursday at lunch in front of Pellegrini's Room in support of the Red Bucket Equine Rescue Center for abandoned horses!
      --> Bring books for the Pusong Pinoy Book Drive and support less fortunate children in the Philippines who entertain/educate themselves with the power of reading/literacy!
      --> HOPE Club's continuation of its toy drive for the homeless (from December) will be taking place SOON (I shall keep you posted one way or another)...
