About the Syllabus

    Today we learned where Mr Schick is located outside of the classroom, what materials we need, and some rules in class. We also checked to make sure our blogs were posted and watched how Vlad was struggling with getting his blog up and sending an email..... but the email worked! Mr Schick is usually in room 121, the TV Studio in the Fine Arts Wing otherwise he is teaching a class in room 114. Some materials we need to bring includes our personal computer which should be fully charged in class, a composition book that we write in everyday, a pen or pencil, and a positive attitude that shows us willing to learn. We should never ask for extra credit because we will not receive any. But if we work hard in class we won't need any. Some other important notes I wrote down were about the final exam in December that I need to prepare for and just the grading list for quizzes, tests, projects, etc. We must turn everything in and everyday it's late we lose 10% which drops a whole letter grade!

First Day of School

       The first day of school was a little wild. I got to my locker without being trampled and pushed around and it only took two tries to open my locker. Walking to first period wasn't bad either but I felt like a tiny fish surrounded by big sharks. But once I entered the classroom with other freshmen, I felt safer. The only thing that bothers me is that my locker is on the third floor and is all the way at the end on the opposite side of my classes. I end up running to my locker and then running back to the class just to be on time. Besides the running, everything is great. All my teachers are really nice and I know mostly everyone in my classes. The only classes that confuses me is German because I have never learned German in my life and the only word I know is Guten Tag. However, I am loving high school so far and I hope I have a great year.
