Tech: Our 8th Grade Video is on its way, we are hoping to have any information gathered by next Friday, May 4th so we can move on to create the time lines in Windows Movie Maker (the program we have access to). I am in contact with Ringside, a local production company I have worked with in the past, to discuss the burning of DVDs.

Algebra (Graham): We had lots of questions on the homework from last night. We spent time answering questions. We started section 10.5 (completing the square). After we did 2 problems, their assignment is to complete the notes for 10.5.
Technology (Graham): The kids did a fabulous job working with the 5th grade classes. I was impressed by their focus, leadership, and compassion.
