| Good weather for outdoor academics. Sheldon participates in an activity for team building. |
We have a lot of rules in our class. That is good and bad. It's good because we know what to do. It's bad because sometimes we forget to be "on-time, on-task, on-target" and then we get a reminder.
If we still do not choose to learn, we might get asked to go out in the hall to explain to Sister Patrice what the problem is, and how we will fix the problem. If that does not help us choose to be on-task, then she will give us a clear warning. After that, it is time for a letter home or a phone call home.
"It's all about being a problem-solver. That's what adults do- they solve problems. We will work together to find a good solution so that the student can be back in class learning, on-time, on-task, and on-target," explains Sister Patrice

We got into working right away this first week. Here you can see us preparing our "Passport to Employment." That will be the book we write this year. It will include tips, ideas, and plans for success when we graduate and have a job.

This week we also received our own Google Apps login and began to work on our first project, a slide show. We also started working on "Moby Math," a challenging computer program that will help us with learning and practicing math skills.
The Seventh Hour class, all sophomores, is called Math Skillz 4Life Success. We are already reviewing old skills and learning new math skills.
