Popular Websites      

Popular websites in the U.S. are probably … Myspace.com ( website allows you to talk to others online and watch video clips.) Aol.com ( can be used to send emails and instant messages to friends and more.) Youtube.com ( can be used to watch numerous amounts of clips consisting of music, comedy, sports, and by far more.) We also have some of the websites you have like google.com and Ask.com Overall I think my favorite website is Youtube.com because I am a sports fan and can watch funny clips and sports clips. P.S. a clip is a short video and if at Youtube.com go to penguin fight or top 10 soccer goals.

Rewards and punishments Punishments in our school are not as harsh as you think. If you don’t finish your homework It’s a late assignment and It’s worth half the points it was originally assigned. To get a detention you don’t have to do much. If you sass off to the teacher that’s a easy detention. If you are late to class that’s a detention. Minutes can be added on to a detention if you skip one. You can also get ISS’s (in school suspension). That’s if you get in a fight or something worse than being late like ditching school. If you push the limits to far you will end up with a OSS (out of school suspension). If you actually hurt someone in a fight or steal something from someone. The rewards are cool. If you do something good in class we get thing called Lottery tickets. You can put the Lottery tickets in the Lottery Box. At the end of each quarter we get a time to draw the Lottery tickets out of the Lottery Box and someone draws the tickets out of the box. Whoever's name gets called, gets to pick a prize out of all the prizes provided. Once or twice a year you can build a team up and combine your teams Lottery tickets and you can bid. The Items would be in bags that are big and small. In the bags you bid for are really good prizes, but sometimes you can be tricked by the teachers and get a bunch of toothpicks. Most of the time it ends up to be a good bag.

Grading System Amount of homework How do you earn your grades

. 



The teachers grade you by how well you do on the homework they give you. During our ITBS tests, ITBS stands for Iowa Tests of Basic Skills, ( 3rd grade and up) is the biggest test in school and so how well we do on it, it shows up on our grades.





A lot of kids in my grade don’t like homework especially the amount that some of the teachers give us. It sometimes depends on what sort of teachers we have here, like sometimes the teachers give us constant homework especially Mr. Maurer, then if we forget about some homework we have, it shows up on report cards as a late assignment which brings our grades down.
