Fish Tank in the Works.
This past Sunday the 9th grade class and myself went on a little field trip to PetCo to see what we could find to put in the fish tank in the classroom.
They came up with a list of fish that they liked. Now we just need to test the tank to make sure that it survived the trip from Idaho to Alaska. Next we will work on decorating the tank and stabilizing it and go get some fish for the tank.

Classroom Computers
As I teach it is my desire that students be able to transfer there knowledge from one area of study to another. For example when a student learns arithmatic they should be able to apply that to science problems.
With that philosophy in mind many students learn how to use computers by being told to simply by clicking here than here then here and never understand the basics of what is going on inside the computer. This is one of the main reasons that I have setup a Linux based terminals server my classroom. Of course there are other reasons such as easy to maintain, manage, and the low cost because student computers are old used computers that have been donated. Currently another donated computer is acting as the server (2 Ghz P4, 1GB Ram, 20GB HD IDE). I have two clients ready to go, I simply need to run the networking wire and they will be up and running. The next step is to upgrade the Server to the latest version of K12LTSP and we will be ready to roll.
My goal is to have about 4-6 computers available for students to use in the classroom. Because space is limited it would be nice if the student computers could be small thin clients with LCD monitors but I would settle for donated computers, which we have, and some LCD monitors. It would also be great if we could upgrade the server to be an actual server class computer or at least a dual core processor with more ram.
If you are interested in helping with this project or have hardware to donate please contact me by posting a note on this blog entry.
Thanks,
Mr. W.

MÖLKKY
My parents were recently at a church social where they were playing MÖLKKY and suggested that this may be a game my students would be interested in playing. It appears easy enough to make from using a few round sticks 55mm in diameter.
RULES OF MÖLKKY (http://kojootti.net/molkky/molkky_rules.html)
Math assignment convert each of the dimensions from metric to standard (ft/inches) dimensions. Remember that 1 inch is 2.54 cm and 1 cm = 100 mm.
If there is a parent that would like to help me by donating the material and/or providing a place to cut and prepare the pieces of wood, it would be greatly appreciated. Simply call me at the school ore see me when you pick up your child.
