Today in Human Geography we had a pop quiz. I didn't know we were going to have one because I didn't look at Mr. Schick's blog the night before. Mr. Schick then gave us ten minutes to study for the quiz.... what a nice guy. After we study for 10 minutes, we started to take the quiz. Mr. Schick told us that we were aloud to use our blogs for the quiz. I was so relieved because I had put all of my notes on my blog. After the quiz was over, everyone brought their quizzes up to Mr Schick. He couldn't read any of the peoples quizzes because they have really bad handwriting. After everyone was finished with their quizzes, we went over the questions to the back of the quiz.

Today in Human Geography we had two shadows. The first shadow was Alice’s shadow. Her name was Abby. She played many sports together such as soccer, lacrosse, and basketball I think. The other shadow was named Zack. He played baseball, wrestling, and football. He also learned to tie his shoe when he was three years old. After Mr. Schick messed with the shadows for about twenty minutes, then we started talking about the world leaders and what’s special about them. We first went over Barack Obama. He worked as a civil rights attorney in Chicago and taught constitutional law at the University of Chicago Law School from 1992 to 2004.  Obama is a graduate of Columbia University and Harvard Law School, where he was president of the Harvard Law Review. In his first term as president, Obama signed economic stimulus legislation in the form of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 and the Tax Relief, Unemployment Insurance Reauthorization, and Job Creation Act of 2010 in response to the 2007–2009 recession in the United States. After that we had a 3 minutes break and then I started writing this blog

Another Sub

Today in Human Geography we had to go to room 104 because Mr. Schick wasn't here today. I don't know who the lady, who our sub was, but she went gave back our test from Friday. We went over the test and she gave us the correct answers. Some people in the class were talking to much so they had to move. After our sub went over the test, Mr. Schick assigned us to do our Political Geography assignment. I don't know why he assigned it to us if we had all of our, 5 day weekend, to get that done. Instead of doing that i started to type this blog. I don't really know how to make this any longer because we didn't really do anything in class today. When I got my grade back from the test, I was really excited because it was a good grade. I checked my grades in power school and I guess it lowered my grade somehow. It is confusing that it went down.
