Just testing this blog out. Trying to figure how to post to it

Leaving Kingsville

Well I'll be leaving in the morning back to Paradise to work my last week before I move to Bruni. You would be amazed at this little town in South Texas, nobody hardly lives there just a bunch of ranches, but yet a 2 million dollar turf field for a high school of 160 students. Totally amazing. Well see yous soon Paradise.

Trip to Bruni

Well, I'm down here in Kingsville visiting Kaeli and the family so I ran over to Bruni and met my new boss. Thats right my new boss. I'm going to work for Bruni ISD on the 21st of July. Special Ed teacher at the middle school, coaching varsity football, JH Basketball, and Head Baseball. I'm really looking forward to a great school year. Only tough thing is that my wife is gonna stay in Paradise. I don't blame her and I wouldn't force her to move even if I am gonna see the grand-baby more often than her. It's late folks and I'm going to bed. See you later from South Texas.

Hands on Measurement

Welcome Class---Today we will build our own paper airplane. We will then fly our planes and measure the distances of each flight. Record the distance of each flight in feet and inches. Please record a minimum of at least 15 flights. Once you have recorded all of your flights compute the mean, mode, median, and range. Good luck and happy flying.

Chapter 5-Measurement

Hello, hope everyone is prepared to take on our next task. We will be looking at all types of Measurements in Chapter 5. When you finish the chapter, you should be able to:
5.1 Convert from one unit of measure in the English system to another.
5.2 Convert from one unit of measure in the metric syastem to another.
5.3 Find the areas of common geometric figures.
5.4 Find the volumes of common gemotric figures.
Lets begin with Unit 5.1 "The English System of Weights and Measures". This section is divided into four parts---length, capacity, weight, and time. Begin by reading pages 143-148 and then explore the following web sites to expand your knowledge of measuremant.

Statistics: Mean Mode, Median, and Range

This week you will find the mean, mode, median, and range of a set of data. As you find the mean, or average, of sets of data, observe that the mean may not be a member of the set. The mode is not a very useful measure since many sets of data have several modes. A set of data with two modes is called bimodal. The median is the middle point of a group of numbers. The range is the differance between the greatest and least numbers in a set of numbers.

Todays assignment:
1) Read Section 4.2 Statistics: Mean, Mode, Median, and Range
2) Complete Discussions Questions on page 121
3) Locate some real world examples of Statistics and report your findings
in a 2 page report.
