YES!

hey all,

So I just checked the website for my online class to see if the feedback for the final project had been posted, and it had.

I somehow managed to get 70/70. Not a single point was deducted. So, to use one of the vocabulary words I've recently taught to one of my classes, I am beside myself with joy. It's a really nice close to a difficult project. I'll remind everyone that this is the same instructor who gave me half credit on one of my previous assignments because of various formatting issues.

In related news, the biomes packet that we'll be using at school is basically finished. The final text has been set, and I have already done a recording for it. On advice from one of the other teachers, I went back and tweaked the charts a little bit. The questions have been more or less set as well. I'd still like to go back and add some more about the plants and animals, but that will have to wait. I'm also working on a teacher's version which has all the questions answered, and all the graphic organizers completed, just in case some other teachers have no clue what to do (Believe me, we need this).

In less than a week, Michi should be on her way back to Japan.

Thankfully, only two more days left this week. I kinda feel sorry for my students, because they had a vocabulary test today, they have bones test tomorrow, and a really tough matter/atoms test on Thursday (yes, Thanksgivings Day). But they actually seem to enjoy them, for some strange reason.

Cheers,
