Aikido of Cincinnati

from:Meehan-Dorr, Megan

to:Aikido 5-8

During the course of this school year I am making it mandatory for all Aikido students to attend a class at Aikido of Cincinnati free of charge.  I have held off making the announcement of this assignment because I wanted to make sure the students had enough time with me to feel comfortable with the content and etiquette of the dojo to get the most out of the experience.  Over the winter break may be a good opportunity to get this assignment completed if it works with your families schedule.  Some students may be interested in the Monday evening advanced youth class and some of the upper level students would be more comfortable in the adult classes.  I have spoken with the students to let them know which group I feel would best suit them.  A complete list of the class schedule and the location of the school can be found at Aikidocincy.com.  The students need to attend the class and then write a short paper describing the experience and some of the techniques they covered.  This assignment does not need to be done until the end of the school year but it is my hope that they will get this done early and perhaps begin to attend classes regularly at that school.  If it is an impossibility to attend a class there I can make up another assignment but nothing could compare to the experience of using the content of our class in action at the dojo. If you have any questions please contact me through email.

6,7,8 grades : One-page proposal for the 2013 Schilling Science and Invention Fair

from:Stevens, John

to:All Students

Students will need to e-mail their Science Fair proposal to jstevens@schillingschool.org by Friday Sept. 21st. The proposal may be single or double spaced but it must have details about the Science Project, how it will be performed, the items involve, the procedure, the time table for the first attempt, the time tables for multiple adjustments and corrections and the ultimate completion date. A good first deadline for the completion of the first trials/experiments would be just before the Thanksgiving Break. www.sciencebuddies.org is a good site for those who are completely lost for an idea. This is a graded assignment.

Here are some rules/tips ( from my former writing class ) to use to produce your proposal paper;


- Your work should be written in Times New Roman, 12 point font, single or double spaced with standard margins and page numbers unless otherwise noted.
- Periodically save your work by pressing the CTRL key and the “S” key simultaneously.
- The top of the first page of your paper should look like this;


Your Name                   Name of the Report                      Date the paper is due

- You should also save your Word document as reportbyJimmyNeutron.docx. That way, the person who has to grade them knows whose report it is, without even opening it. So will you.
- You should always read your paper aloud and listen for errors in grammar and composition.
- Make sure your writing flows and that you are not just making a two-page list, e.g. “First he said this. Then he said this. Third, he said this. Fourth, he said that. In the end, he said this last.” That is not writing, it is just listing the facts of the story.
- Make sure that you double-check your notes! Many reports have lost points because the character’s names were constantly misspelled or simple facts were noted incorrectly. There is a huge difference between lightning and lightning bugs.
- You should always read your paper to an adult and ask them for suggestions and then make any necessary changes. Let them read your final paper too. NOTE: All changes, writing and typing or anything else regarding the final paper is ultimately the student’s responsibility!
- Watch out for too many pronouns in one sentence. “He went to talk to him but he didn’t want to speak to him.”
- Proper nouns get capitalized. Use Dr. Sandra Schilling, not dr. sandra schilling. Main St. not main st. Uncle Joe, not uncle joe.
- Watch out for homophones. “They went their in the car” should be “They went there in the car.”  This is where an adult set of eyes will be helpful to you.
Lastly, and this is very important, don’t procrastinate writing or turning in your paper. Give yourself a false deadline of the class day before it is due. (e-mail it on Wednesday, not Friday) That way, your teacher can catch any mistakes and suggest improvements in a reply e-mail. You can then make the changes and resubmit it on the due date for a much better grade.

to:Science 7-8

Students have been assigned individual elements -10 per student - to make small, booklet- type sheets to be attached to a poster that will replicate the periodic table of elements, but with more details for each small booklet about each elements.

Practise typing and learning a computer keyboard

from:Stevens, John

to:Computer Science

Students should go to www.powertyping.com , choose qwerty and practise for 20 minutes every evening that they can for the rest of the school year. As they get better, challenge them with a higher WPM count.

For the immediate future, students should start memorizing where the keys are on a keyboard as they will eventually be filling in a blank keyboard page for a grade. They will do this numerous times until the teacher is satisfied that they know which keys are which, without looking. The blank keyboard test will be graded. Blank practise pages can be found by googling "blank keyboard worksheet"
