test questions

Today class started when I got to school. WE had a bomb threat today and first period was mostly an evacuation time for the police to search the school again with the dogs. We were supposed to have a test today but i guess because we had shorten classes because of the powder puff game at the end of the day he decided to postpone it until Friday. Mr. Schick asked us if we had questions to put on the test that we are having on Friday. Then we started asking him questions about the test. Since the classes were shorter , time went by really fast and class ended. That is what we did today in Human Geography.

How Can We Help?

Today in class we were in small groups. We were looking for what we could do to help kids in Africa that don't have a lot of money to buy things. One thing we found that helps was the shoe company called TOMS.  They have a program as when you buy a shoe they give one away to a child in need . that is a good program because lots of kids that are poor cant afford shoes and that is a good way of helping our world out today.
