Whadya mean I got homework?

Students getting into the swing of things. So far, the kids have been turning in their homework. There are still some exceptions. They know who they are!

The seventh and eighth grades classes are gearing up for an excercise that may last all year. The students will have jobs assigned and receive "Diaz Dollars." They may purchase perks such as use of the computers, switching desks, and using a reading area. They may also be penalized for infractions. I hope this will accustom them to the world of money including some accounting.

The students may, as they did last year, conduct an experiment for extra credit in Science. Several have completed some simple experiments.
