MARCH QUESTION

• The March Miracle event at Norup helps to raise money for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society.  The money raised helps fund cancer research for a cure. This is only one of many great causes. Your assignment for this month is to write a 50 word paper on an organization ( other than our March Miracle event) that uses physical activity to help fund-raise.  Include: the name of the organization; the activity participants do and why the money is raised. 

Paper is due on or before APRIL 11TH.  Paper should be of high quality, informative, neat and completed on time.

**Parents please remind your child to bring gym clothes to school on Monday and keep in their hall locker until needed for class.  This habit will help to alleviate the mark downs in gym class for not dressing out.

Students started class completing any missing assignments or turning in Keyboarding 17 (due today).  We then took 15 minutes for our first Typing Test!  Using typingtest.com students took multiple 3 minute tests on the topic of their choice.  We then took the best score.  Grades are awarded according to accuracy and speed.

 

We then moved on to our Online Research Lesson "Making Search Decisions and Identifying High Quality Sites".  There are many misleading and incorrect "facts" on the web and we need to be able to decipher the truth.

 

Our next meeting is a half day so I will only see hours 1,2, & 3.  I hope to see you all at Parent Teacher Conferences.
