Don't forget guys when you are studying for the northeast test that a urban + suburban= metropolis. think do you live downtown in an apartment or do you live a little away from downtown and work downtown. That is just a helpful reminder.
Abigail

Also, metropolis+metropolis=megalopolis. Abbie- On the map Mr. Buxton gave us if there is no lake on it you do not need to worry about it.
~Juliana

Sabrina, Adam, Hannah, and Camille-
The grammar story is on google docs.
Eliza, Ryan, and Jackson,
I finished the powerpoint, and if there is anything you would like me to add to the short paragraphs we each wrote, the explanation of what a noun is, and the CPAC slide, then post a comment and I will add it
Maddie
Don't we have to post our powerpoint to Mr. Buxton's slide or something??
-M.G.
nada
forrester i went ahead and printed out the paper thanks!
I am having the hardest time trying to upload the powerpoint onto my thumb drive. Does anybody know how to do that?
Maddie
Maddie- I would just e-mail it to Mr. Buxton or put it on google docs.
Maddie,
(this is for mac i don't know windows)
First save it to desktop in the finder
Then put your thumbdrive in
Next click on desktop and then drag your powerpoint to your USB key or whatever.
Your USB key sould show up under idisk or your printer name like mine is "Machintosh HD" or really under "Devices" then it sould be on there.
I have another way to do it if that dosn't work :-)
hey maddie sorry u had 2 go thru all that and if u havent already, add explanations of the Northeast facts and the noun uses

RyAn S.
maddie- did u get the skattegories game all set up and is there anything else we need 2 do
hayden- nice use of spanish
RyAn S.
yes Ryan, thnx for asking, but what do mean by explanations, and when you said noun uses, you meant examples, right?
Sarah,

-M.G.
Thnx Sarah, I'll try it!
Maddie

Sarah,
