Baking Fun!

Last week I made a challenge/deal with both of my Algbera classes. If the class earned a B- average on Chapter 4.1-4.3 Test, which was on Friday (10/24) then I would bake cookies for the class for Halloween. And the results are...5B was able to reach that goal (and went above and beyond a B-). So here are some hard evidence that Mr. Schreder actually did bake the cookies and not go out and buy them at the store!

Whole-Wheat Oatmeal Peanut Butter and Chocalate Chip Cookies (Halloween Theme)!

Enjoy the 3.5 Day Weekend! I look forward to meeting parents at Parent-Teacher Conferences and don't eat too much Candy on Halloween! Happy All Saint's Day!

End of Quarter is Near!

I hope homecoming weekend was fun and that everyone enjoyed the extra day-off with Columbus Day on Monday! This week is busy, busy with tests and quizzes ending with the final day of the quarter on Friday.

In Algebra I we are beginning a project where students will be in groups where they will develop the lesson for a section from Chapter Four and they will have the chance to be the teacher. They will start teaching this Friday culminating with a test next Friday!

Intermediate Algebra there is a test tomorrow over Chapter 2!

Statistics will be having a test on Friday over Probability!

In other news, the last Obama/McCain debate is tonight and the election is 3 weeks away!

The Tampa Bay Rays are only 1 game away from going to the World Series-literally from last place last year!

Holy Father Pope Benedict VXI's Prayer Intentions for the Month of October:

"That the Synod of Bishops may help bishops and theologians as well as catechists and pastoral workers engaged in the service of the Word of God transmit with courage the truth of the faith in communion with the entire Church."

"That in this month dedicated to the missions, through the promotional activities of the Pontifical Missionary Works and other organizations, the Christian may feel the need to participate in the Church’s universal mission with prayer, sacrifice and concrete help.”
