Flashdrive- 6-8th grade for technology/science class

Students are  to bring a usb flashdrive to school. We will be working on different projects on the computer over the school year.  I am realizing how much easier it would be if each student had his/her own flashdrive.  They will be able to transfer projects from computers as well as be able to work on any  unfinished work at home.  We will be working on projects that include pictures, videos, podcasts, powerpoints etc.

It will be nice to have a portfolio of your childs projects on one drive at the end of the year.

ShakeOut!

At 10:15 a.m. on October 15, 2009, over 6.9 million Californians participated in the largest earthquake drill ever!

The purpose of the ShakeOut is to practice how to protect ourselves during earthquakes, and to get prepared at work, school, and home.
