Notes With the Sub

  • Geographers can describe the location by site, which is the physical character of a place. Important site characteristics include, climate, water sources, topography, soil, vegetation, latitude and elevation.
  • Situation- the location of a place relative to other places
Situation is a valuable way to indicate location, for two reasons:
1. Situation helps us to find an unfamiliar place by comparing its location with a familiar one
2. Situation helps us understand the importance of a location. For example, some places are important because they are accessible to other places due to their location.

Pop Quiz. ITS THURSDAY!

        Its Thursday, the second best day of the week. Today the its Thursday song was played with a harmonica. It was pretty cool to hear a new instrument in the mix. Mr. Schick wasn't playing in the its Thursday group today which is unfortunate. Lately my baseball schedule has been very busy and its not even baseball season yet. On Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays I have weight training. On Wednesdays I have two baseball practices; one with the school and a pitching lesson later in the evening. On Fridays I have a Chalk Talk with the school baseball team where we learn about the mental part of baseball. I've been getting the know the baseball players better and get along with them.          Honors Human Geography was pretty cool today. First we had a pop quiz that wasn't very cool and then we did something that was cool.  Mr. Schick showed us a website where we can see anything about any country and its amazing how much information it has. Aiden shared a game called Geog

Slacking

        Alright so today I had a great day. But lately Ive been slacking on the blogs and its just because I keep forgetting about them because of there homework. Im going to start consistently doing them again. But today I woke up and ate a piece of cake for breakfast and went to school just like any other day except for the fact that it was out of uniform. I love out of uniform days because they are just so comfortable. I still love JC and it is going good. I'm getting closer with the baseball coaches and I'm getting to know them better.         I'm pretty upset because I found out that in the second semester I will no longer have Mr. Schick and all of my classmates. Mr. Schick is my favorite teacher and it sucks that I have to leave his class. Currently we are talking about population pyramids in class and its kind of scary to look into the future of the graphs. Its just really weird to see your generation go up and up and up and then gone. Today was a good day.

Jason is Crazy

        Today was really funny to say the least. One of the exchange students (Jason) was spinning his MacBook on his finger like a basketball. I was just sitting at my lunch table and I turned around I saw him spinning it on his finger. I couldn't believe and everyone was recording it. The funniest thing, is that he was so proud of himself and his amazing trick. Thees was another thing that was funny that happened to me today. There is a kid named Luis at my weight training thing and is hilarious. When I'm doing a workout he makes this hilarious laugh and it makes me crack up every time. I told him he should go to John Carroll next year because he is currently in 8th grade and he said' "John who?" I don't know why but it was hilarious. Luis is one of the funniest kids I've ever met.         In Honors Human Geography we talked about how areas are different in ways of weather, culture, and land. Mr. Schick told us about how it looked weird to him when we e
