DogBlog QOTD

Title your post:(Your Name) Smoking

A big health issue across the world is smoking. I assume that some of you have parents that smoke. Despite numerous studies that show smoking has many ill effects, people still smoke claiming it’s their right to do what they want with their bodies.

If you didn’t find out, why do you not want to know?

Last Day of Quarter 3

March 12th, 2010 · Comments Off

Thanks for making the third quarter pretty good. I’ve enjoyed my time with you guys!

Today we will be graphing your typing results, cleaning up your computers, and selecting the pictures you want to print off. If you don’t want a picture printed, that’s cool. Ink is expensive anyway.

You need to fill out the survey located on your DogBlogs as well.
