It's a new week, a big week of presentations in ninth grade. After reading The Last Lecture, interviewing a graduating senior and reflecting on our own important lessons, the students are ready to present. They will present this week on Wednesday or Thursday, during their class time (9 Blue - 810 - 9:20, 9 White - 1:10 - 2:20) in the Hangout room. Your student knows which day he or she will present, so check to make sure you arrive on the right day for your child. Please join us and bring any family members who might like to see these presentations. Each one contains brilliance and I have loved watching them develop from an idea from a book into their presentations.
Tenth graders completed their revolution project, and after some discussion on elements of a revolution and some literary terms, they are ready to start reading Animal Farm this week. This is a quick read and we will pair it with some other texts before we finish this reading unit. Tenth graders will have a vocabulary quiz on Tuesday and should read so that they are ready for a comprehension quiz on any day. They also have four IXL standards that are due next Monday. No late work is accepted on IXL.
Thank you 10th grade parents for coming to conferences last week. Your involvement is influential for your student. It was a pleasure meeting with you and sharing what your child has been doing this quarter. Have a great week!
