Albuquerque:Lego writing class
Tabbi, please post this for me. Thanks, Rebecca
Hi everybody
I am offering another writing class for boys. This class will be structured around creations the boys make with various building sets. Lego, Bionicle, K'nex, or similar sets are acceptable. The boys will create something at home with their own set, bring it to class to "Show-n-Tell" with classmates and then we will implement various techniques to write about their creation.
There will be an emphasis on basic writing skills, beginning with good sentence structure, paragraphs and idea expansion. We will talk about use of adjectives and adverbs to make the writing more interesting.
This class is designed for reluctant writers that struggle with handwriting, spelling, expression and other issues. The emphasis will be on the creative process and not the mechanics of handwriting or spelling. The idea is for the boys to have fun and discover that writing as a means of communication is rewarding. IT WILL BE EXPECTED THAT THEY WORK ON THEIR WRITING OUTSIDE OF CLASS TIME. Dictating to an adult or sibling, using the computer or other means of getting their thoughts on paper is acceptable and encouraged. But it will be imperative to the success of the class that they come the next week with something to read and share with the class as this is a highly interactive setting.
This class would be suitable for boys ages 10 and up with a focus on midschool-aged boys.
The class will be at my NE Height home near Juan Tabo and Comanche on Wed mornings from 10:30 to 12:00 on Oct 10, 17, 24 ,& 31. Cost for the 4 classes is $12.

-Glorieta: Supercomputing Challenge MMM, Oct. 1, 2007
Supercomputing Challenge Monday Morning Message, October 1, 2007
Happy October!
Can you believe that is it already October and time to get ready for our time together at Glorieta?
HOUSING AT GLORIETA
We must know by tomorrow if you are spending an evening with us at Glorieta so that we let the housing department at Glorieta know how many rooms to prepare for us. So, if you haven't registered yet or signed up for a room, do so today!
Please register your teams if you are one of the 100 folks who haven't already.
Tuesday afternoon please check out our housing lists at
http://challenge.nm.org/kickoff/housing_session1.html
http://challenge.nm.org/kickoff/housing_session2.html
to see if there are any changes at this time.
STANDARDS AT GLORIETA
We are guests at the Glorieta Conference Center for the kickoff and we need to adhere to their rules. The rules are common sense that you should follow as representatives of your school and the Challenge. They are attached here and each teacher sponsor should go over these policies.
TEAFs TEAM ENTRY AUTHORIZATION FORM and REGISTRATION Fees
Congratulations to Sandia Prep in Albuquerque for being the first team to send in their registration fee and to Rio Rancho for getting us their TEAFs for the Challenge year. Please get your information into us asap http://challenge.nm.org/registration.shtml
HIGH SCHOOL PROPOSALS
Each high school team needs to bring a proposal to the kickoff. The supporting link for the proposals is
http://www.challenge.nm.org/proposals/
Three Jackson Mid School and one Las Cruces High team have already submitted a proposal.
MIDDLE SCHOOL SCIENTIST QUESTIONS
Middle school teams can chose to submit a proposal, as Jackson Mid has done or they can bring five questions to ask a scientist about his or her work. Questions should help you learn not only about their field of science but about what a scientists work and life is like.
EXPERIENCED PROGRAMMERS
27 students have classified themselves as experienced programmers and they will be receiving a web form to fill out from Mathematica, and then will receive download links for version 6. Wolfram will then review the licenses at interim reports and renew those licenses for teams using Mathematica. Mathematica is an "automation in algorithmic computation, interactive manipulation and dynamic presentationas well as a whole new way of interacting with the world of data."
This group of students will work on parallel programming hints with scientists from LANL and also MATLAB with Cleve Moler while at Glorieta. Other classes will include teamwork, programming in Java and Python and a Meet the Scientist session to clarify their project proposals.
MATHEMATICS
Supercomputing Challenge sponsor Wolfram Research, makers of Mathematica, is now the official math brain trust for the hit CBS series NUMB3RS. The show airs at 10pm U.S. ET on Fridays. Visit their website, "The Math behind NUMB3RS," for an in-depth look at each episode. http://numb3rs.wolfram.com/wolfram.html.
PBS WIRED SCIENCE
http://www.pbs.org/kcet/wiredscience/ This is the link to a new series on Wednesday nights at 7PM on KNME. In the premiere episode of PBS' newest weekly series, Josh Davis of Wired magazine investigates an Internet botnet attack of Estonia's banks and newspapers; WIRED SCIENCE reports on cardiac surgery performed by a "robo-doc"; Adam Rogers explores the disappearance of home chemistry sets; and Ziya Tong delves into technology that is helping children with Asperger's Syndrome by translating facial expressions into emotions.
Sincerely yours,
Betsy, Celia and David,

CITY of ALBUQUERQUE
SEVENTEENTH COUNCIL
Establishing A Policy That Homeschooled Children Shall Be Given Equal Access To City
Sponsored Educational Programs
CITY of ALBUQUERQUE
SEVENTEENTH COUNCIL
WHEREAS, there are reportedly over 7,185 homeschooling families in the state of
New Mexico; and
WHEREAS, the number of New Mexico children who receive their education through
homeschooling is growing every year; and
WHEREAS, the City of Albuquerque supports education for all of the children who
reside in the City; and

WHEREAS, the City policy is to not treat homeschooled children with the same
courtesy and respect as that provided to children in public and private schools and the
City requires as a condition of these children attending reduced rate educational
programs that they provide written individual verification that they are participants in a

WHEREAS, this dual standard of treatment is considered by many homeschooled
children and their parents and guardians to be both demeaning and invasive and
contrary to the City's goal of providing educational benefits to all of its children.
