Weekly Update!

After last week's hectic schedule, I'm sure we were all thankful for that small break the weekend offers. Congratulations to members of the Latin Forum for placing 2nd overall at the competition on Saturday! On February 9th, members of our Mu Alpha Theta team will also be going to a competition. This week, Ms. Smart's English classes will begin narrowing down topics for their research paper.

This week's agenda:

Monday -

• Biology (Ms. Bidwell) - We are having a test on Chapters 15 and 17 - Be sure to review the study guides as well as look over the chapters.
• English (Ms. Smart) - Julius Caesar essays are due today. Remember to bring a pack of index cards as well as a folder for research purposes.

Middle of Week -

• APWH (Mr. Rose) - We will be having a DBQ sometime in the middle of the week. Look over periods of history we have studied if you would like to be ready.

Weekly Update!

I hope everyone enjoyed their Martin Luther King, Jr. holiday. This week is History Fair week - good luck to all those participating! Judging is expected to last until 4th Period on both Tuesday and Wednesday. Participants have been informed of the particular day that their category will be presenting. When you enter, you should report to the auditorium and register there. The historical paper category does not have interviews at school level this year.

This week's agenda:

Tuesday -

• English (Ms. Smart) - We are having a quiz on Act IV of Julius Caesar. Our weekly vocabulary list is also included on this quiz.

Organization

As you may have noticed, we announced our index of documents last December. However, we haven't really been able to complete this index. As you can imagine, it is very tedious to link an upwards of fifty documents individually. However, as things slow down a bit at the start of a new semester, we hope to have our index up soon. Thanks so much for your patience!

Weekly Update!

So the exams are finally over, and it's now time to start a new semester! Report cards will be going out on January 28 (dun dun duuuuun). This is a chance for everyone to just start over and leave the first semester of IB behind us.

I hope everyone has had success in going through their midterms! On Wednesday, January 16, the 2nd Semester will have officially begun. This week is basically a recovery period from the hectic midterm schedule; our teachers won't schedule anything in unless they want us to revolt or something...lol.

Important News!

2008: A new year!!!

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.
