Digital Learning Assignment 6: Blowin in the Wind

OK this is the last assignment of the year.  It is due next Wednesday.  That way I will have time to grade it before this all ends on Friday.

This is a shorter assignment that focuses on only one song.  So since it's shorter, it will only take you about 1 hour.  Thus, it is only worth 100 points.

Here is the link:

Take care people.  Warren

Lessons Start Monday to Improve Your Grade

I am not sure if anyone is looking at this, but if you want to improve your grade, I will start posting district made lesson and assignments on Monday.

Again, you don't have to do them.  If you are happy with the grade that you have in Aeries now, then if you don't do them, it will not affect your grade.

Your grade is only allowed to go UP!

Miss you guys.  Saw one of you working at Staters today.  Nice!!

Sring Break Update

Hello everyone,

Just checking in.  After this week (our scheduled break), teachers will be trained how to use the distance learning program called Oddesy Ware.  Then after that, I guess we have a week to plan how to use it. 

Then I will assign some work that can be done (your choice) to improve your grade.  If you don't so it, it will NOT affect your grade.

Stay safe everyone. 

Mr. Warren
