Happy New Year !!! It is time for a new start. Welcome back! You were missed. You and I have something in common. I am now a student at GCU. I am continuing my education and obtaining my Masters in Secondary Education with a STEM influence. My goal is to work at a high school where the class I teach is an elective.

“If confusion is the first step to knowledge, I must be a genius" ~ Larry Leissner

7th and 8th grade, you will be working on projects with the MIT App Inventor. It will take 2 classes to complete 1 project. Once project 1 is done you may continue onto project 2. There are 5 projects in all. These projects will cover the 3rd quarter. If a person is absent, more time will be allowed to finish the projects. I wish all of you the best.

Pie In The Face

This video is in the raw. At this moment of time I have not viewed all of the content.

A student asked me why I did not do join the coaches. I asked him why he wanted me to join the festivities?

He said, "It is because you are so nice. I want to see how you would respond to a pie thrown in your face."

I just smiled.

I passed a previous student the other day in town. I asked him how he liked High School. He said it was good. I then asked what was most difficult about High School. He said it was the reading. I then asked him to please continue to do the exercise we are doing in class today.

I am sorry to say that I only have you guys for about 45 minutes once a week. We only do this exercise once a month. If you see a benefit in this exercise, then please practice on your own. This exercise will help you.

Welcome back everyone from Fall Break.

I enjoy coding. The best part is having an idea. Then coding all the steps in the IDE. Lastly clicking a button and watching what was once in my head come alive!

If you enjoy coding also, follow this link to Code Wizards HD Blog and challenge yourself.

Please share with us what you create

Best,

Mrs. D

Often students will get flustered with me and will fuss. My reply is, "I love you too". As a Christian the following is what I mean by this. As my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ Loves me, I Love you too.

1 Corinthians 13

Love is patient, love is kind.

It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.

It does not dishonour others, it is not self-seeking,

it is not easily angered,

and it keeps no record of wrongs.

Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.

It always protects, always trusts, always hopes,

and always perseveres.

Love never fails.
