End of First Quarter

And just like that, the first quarter is coming to an end!  For students that means many assignments as we finish the quarter strong.  Tenth graders have three IXL standards due Tuesday by midnight.  They also have a restaurant review due in class Wednesday morning.  Students need a printed hard copy and their highlighters because they will go through their writing with the rubric to assess themselves before they turn their paper in.  Many students come to class without their work ready to go.  All classes have been warned, their work will be counted late if they are not prepared with their assignment printed when they walk into class.

Ninth graders are completing their Great Little Madison creative writing this week.  Their writing is due when they walk into class on Tuesday.  We will make a study guide for the test in class to prepare.  Ninth graders will take their test on this biography on Wednesday, using the notes they took as they read.  Thursday we will have a chance to share our writing with each other in class.  This will be a good chance for all students to get ideas from their classmates and to see ways they can improve and to celebrate the good things they are doing as writers.  Any ninth grader who wants to bring a snack for the class to enjoy as we share our writing may do so.  I'll provide plates and napkins.  

This week will be busy getting everything finished,  but after this week, students (and parents) can relax and enjoy their Fall Break!  Have a good week and encourage your student to finish the quarter strong!
