After much anticipation, our 16-day long vacation is finally here! Happy holidays, all -- have a good time with your friends and family over the winter break. Halie and I would like to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!! :D

School begins January 7, 2008 and exams will start on January 10, 2008. Remember to start getting ready for them a few days after the new year begins. History Fair participants, here's your chance to get most of your work done.

Weekly Update!

This week's agenda:

Tuesday -

• English (Ms. Smart) - We are having our quiz on Act I of Julius Caesar. Remember to read over Act I and take note of any important quotes.

Thursday -

• Biology (Ms. Bidwell) - Quiz on Chapter 10!

Under Construction!

So, a couple of days ago, Julie and I received an interesting email. The contents of the email are immaterial right now, but the point is, we realized how long it's been since we have updated or even paid attention to the blog. We have a few things in the works, including a few changes.

One, we will be changing up our system of indexing. Look for updates on that in the next week.

Two, I am now in charge of the Algebra Two guides. However, since Ms. Paedae is being rather haphazard about what we're studying in terms of the book, Algebra Two is on an official hiatus. We hope, at least, to have an entire set done by next year, when most of you will be taking it.

Three, we are also making a few changes on Scribd. We want to make it clear that no offensive language will be allowed on any of the discussion boards or comments. Also, there should be no breaking of the honor code, which can include telling others about upcoming tests, etc. Julie also deleted her Integrated Science Outlines, as technically, those are homework assignments that will be assigned next term.

All in all, we are very busy, what with homework and Julie's Study Guides and all. Any questions? Contact us at guidesbyjulie@gmail.com. Message us on Scribd. You can even leave a comment on this post. Have a good weekend!

Index of Documents (Updated!)

We figured that we need a sort of index of all of the documents on Scribd, with links to each one. This will be organized by subject. Also included is the name of the person who creates them. You should contact them if you have any problems or suggestions.

Weekly Update!

I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving break -- it was definitely nice while it lasted! :D

This week, I do not know of any tests scheduled as of yet. Today, Robo's class had a Chapter 6 quiz, and Mrs. Chrisco's class took an open-outline quiz on Chapter 10.

In Mr. Rose's APWH class, a test is loosely scheduled for next Friday on Chapter 10 - Mediterranean Society: The Greek Phase. Tomorrow, his classes will review the China test. Progress reports will be handed out on Friday.

Weekly Update!

I hope everyone enjoys their Veteran's Day holiday!
This week there are three tests planned. Thankfully, they are not all on the same day...

On Tuesday -

• Geometry - Mr. Naes is giving a test on Chapter 6. Prepare yourself by doing the chapter review and test in the book.

On Thursday -

• English - Ms. Smart's classes are having a mythology test on Chapters 7 - 15, excluding 8. She also expects highlights of each chapter. Review your notes. EDIT: Ms. Smart's test has been moved to Friday!

On Friday -

• AP World History - Mr. Rose is giving a "quest" (quiz/test) on Chapter 8. If your grade is high, it will be weighted as a test, and if it is not, it will be weighted as a quiz. He is going to begin to collect binders this week as well.
• Reading - The David Copperfield quiz on this week's chapters will be on Friday, instead of the Monday after Thanksgiving.
  
• Geometry - There is a quiz on the first half of Chapter Seven, probably sections 1-3. Also, if you plan on doing the extra credit, you should bring in a floppy disk or flash drive to copy the assignment onto.

APWH Addition

As I'm sure you all know by now, we previously did not post APWH definitions because it is extremely beneficial to define them yourself. However, since anyone who does definitions does them for their own benefit, we will trust them to define them on their own and THEN look at the information presented on Scribd. Since this isn't an official assignment, it will do you no good to just print it out and never look at it. We will now be publishing helpful information on Scribd regarding the present chapter Mr. Rose's class is learning about in APWH.

The chapter we're on at present is Chapter 7: Empires of Persia
