2-29-2008 (A Day) Happenings

I will not be in class today. Please follow the blog closely and be respectful to the substitute teacher. If you have any questions, post a comment to this entry and I will try to respond quickly. Thanks.--Mr. Buckley

I welcomed students and took attendance. I collected any outstanding Dead Poets' Society Permission Slips. We visited the Media Center and went on a Library Tour with the VVMS Librarian, Mrs. Elliott. Students had the opportunity to learn about many different books available from the surveys the class took a couple weeks ago. Time was provided for students to search for and check out RIF material. Students read and responded to the blog entry Fear Case Studies Concepts. Students then filled out the Personal Fear Inventory from the Fear Module Packet. They also read the Stage Fright article from the Fear Module Packet.
