LPSCS and Law Enf I

We are working on the definitions and the TEKS.  We are grading ourselves on the TEKS to see where we are at now and it will help us get them all down and ready for the next steps.  Law Enf I please keep up with the readings we are going to work on the Essays at the end of the week. 

Any questions, just ask.

DIMM Class Heads up

In DIMM class we will be working on the Powerpoint projects for colleges that I am handing out on the 31st.  We will also discuss the rules of the classroom and get a copy of the technology handout for signatures.  You guys did great on the All about me's and some of them were awesome.  Keep up the good work.

Homework for LPSCS

Everyone did a great job on the homework and even the new students managed to pull it out.  Good job one and all.  LPSCS needs to be working on definitions like we discussed on the board, ie. felony, double jeopardy, due process.  We will be working more with that this week.

DIMM Students, we will begin working with Powerpoint and reviews of the Internet Policy for RRISD.  Any help that you need can be gotten at MS Office Help or email me at lynne_albright@roundrockisd.org and we will make a plan to meet and work on it.  You may want to start looking at colleges as we will probably be using them for power point projects that are upcoming.

Enjoy your weekends and see you Monday or Tuesday....(A day Monday and B Day Tues)

We will be reading a book each six weeks per student and I will have a selection of books that they must choose from or get prior approval before reading it for the assignment. I will have some copies in my room and some in the library for check out. Each student will be writing a one page essay on the book for a class grade. If your student likes to read a specific genre of books, please have them let me know so we can find one in that area. They will have some homework and I will post a blog prior to giving the students the assignment so you can keep track of what is due but the majority of the class work will be in the classroom or on the campus grounds.
