Meteorology vs....

Astrology. They're both kind of the same, aren't they? It is now 7:30 pm and it has just begun to snow. Will it continue? HOw much will fall before 6:00 am tomorrow? Will school be closed? Um, yeah. We all know the answer to that. Let's see here - it's going to dump a lot of snow on the ground, creating some unsafe driving (and walking) conditions. Let's put a bunch of little kids on big buses and a lot of teens behind the wheels of their own cruddy vehicles. That's safe. To read the official policy, go here.

Govt/Econ: Bring your bright yellow budget sheets to class next time. We'll continue the budget-school choice/reparations discussions.

WS: Finish your maps!

AP: Prepare for the Ch. 12 and CH. 13 tests (more like quizzes) that you must prepare for on your own! I also handed out the CH. 14 wksht. Get it done by, oh, let's say...Wednesday. HOWEVER - I will give you some class time to get some stuff done (including some more maps - Americas and Africa this time. While some of you will use the time to do your maps - others may use their time to coordinate History Day preparation/completion (for Percy). Do not waste this final weekend! Boards/Displays will take a lot longer than you believe.

To all - If I have to go to school tomorrow, I expect everyone there to suffer with me! If, by some miracle of all miracles, school is closed, Enjoy a free day, but then make sure you complete your classwork and don't come back to class behind the eight ball. EC - what's the origin of that last phrase? Include your findings in your notebooks.

Ooh - last bit. Remind me to distirbute a reading about the story behind the new movie, "300." Adios...
