Title: September weather word Post by: schlaf374 on 13-Sep-10, 07:40:16 AM The new school year has started, and Thomas Marks school is in the running again. Please vote as often as you can. Spread the word to family and friends Thanks
Good Morning We've started our quest to participate in the Weather Machine Contest! We were going to start in October, but I had discovered last week that our community began voting, so why not start now!!. On Thursday we were in 10th place and on Friday we moved up to 6th place. Andy is going to bring the Weather Machine to two schools each month this year. The top voting school will win the program automatically. Schools who came in 2nd -20th for the month will have a second chance to win via drawing of Ping Pong Balls. The schools are awarded Ping Pong balls by their placement. The higher you are in the ranking for the month the more ping pong balls you receive. So if you are in 2nd place you receive 19 ping pong balls, 3rd place 18 ping pong balls down to 20th place you will receive 1 ping pong ball. Also if the school does a little extra credit you can be awarded up to 3 ping pong balls by sending in video of a classroom at work on a weather lesson, pictures of student work, bulletin boards in school and throughout our community. So please join us in our quest to bring the Weather Machine to our school! We are currently in still 6th place. Today's weather word is: "Thunder" http://www.wgrz.com/weather/andyswxmachine/ County: Niagara School: Thomas Mark's Weather Word:Thunder Submit: Thunder Thank you for your votes!!!

We are stuck in 4th place! Colonial Village is on our tails and could easily take over 4th place. We need your votes to extend our lead in 4th place and move up! We have submitted and earned all three extra credit project entries (ping pong balls). The photo was a picture of student work which reflected a first grade book call "Rain". The project was from the classroom I work in of a crate of apples. Each apple had one of this month's weather words and their definition. The video was the Village of Wilson's electronic sign, showing information about our quest for the Weather Machine. Funny thing about the video, Andy Parker was in Wilson over the weekend, saw the sign and took his own video of the sign. He took our submission since I had taken the video last Friday. The Weather Word for September 23nd is: Fall http://www.wgrz.com/weather/andyswxmachine/ County: Niagara School: Thomas Marks Weather Word: Fall Security Code: Submit!

We are in 4th place going into the weekend and are tied with Colonial Village from Niagara Wheatfield! This is the last weekend for voting for the month of Sept. We are entering the home stretch. The last day of voting will be on Monday, September 27th until 8 p.m. Please vote as much as you can these last few days to keep our 4th place position. Mrs. Wheeler's (the class I work in) class project "Weather Word Farm" a bunch of apples in a crate with weather word and its definition on them was shown today. You can see it on the Video section on the website. I'm surprised that more schools didn't do the extra credit work. The Weather Word for September 24th, 25th, and 26th (the weekend) is: Gust http://www.wgrz.com/weather/andyswxmachine/ County: Niagara School: Thomas Marks Weather Word: Gust Security Code: Submit!

Title: Re: September weather word Post by: Shaky on 27-Sep-10, 10:05:41 AM I voted today even though I had to look at the ad for that awful Chase show.
While at Universal Studios Florida this Summer, my family was asked if we would review a pilot for a new series in exchange for $15. We agreed, and it turned out to be this Chase series. We were given two hand controllers, one for each hand, with a button on top to press with the thumb. (They reminded me of those old slot car controllers I had when I was a kid.) The rules were simple: press the right button if you like what you see on the tv screen, and press the left one if you don't. Well, I held down the left button for nearly 40 minutes straight. My thumb got so tied that I had to switch hands. Then I squeezed the controller between my knees. The show was so bad that I contemplated paying $15 just to let me leave early.
