03-10-15 Intro to navigation. If a student still has not turned in their map from last Friday they will need to come in for 10 min at the beginning of lunch. If it is still not in by tomorrow, they must stay after school and finish it. Use your handout on vocabulary of navigation to study their meanings tonight.
03-11-15 Check how you did on your quiz, share it with your parents. We will practice bearings and reciprocals tomorrow and have Summative test on Friday on the navigation vocabulary. I will be out Thursday and Friday, see you Monday.

03-18-15 Be sure you have 4 sets of sentences about really neat things that you would like to see or that I should see on one of the three Islands on the smart board posting today. Put those sentences on the back of the green handout. They are due tomorrow or you can do the 5 paragraph research paper on the island instead of working with a team finding some points on the map along with a heading based on your triangulation skills.

04-23-15 Finish lander balcony drop and do all calculations on "Speed lander document". These will be graded tomorow and the grade you get is the grade you keep. If your paper is incomplete, not finished or demonstrates poor understanding, you will still need to finish/fix the paper and demonstrate you know the materiall.
