Thank you for taking the time to read this blog. I hope you have some peace this weekend and your student gets a chance to relax.
Today students journeyed into a photograph of another place and took a “Seven Minute Vacation”. Please ask your student about this experience, as students seemed to really like writing about it.
I passed out progress reports for many students today and/or told them what was missing lately. Students were directed to check their notebooks, the “no name board”, and the collected activities folder for any work they might have or thought they turned in. I gave extra copies of assignments again to those who asked for them. Please check my blog under class activities for specific info about the activities. Please remind your student to check his/her locker and have your student speak to me directly about any concerns.
We are finishing The Outsiders next week, and students are working on a creative “Extension” project. They are required to do at least one, and may do more for extra credit. They will have had over a week to work on it by the time it is due, so they need to show evidence of their work. They also are turning in a “Character Advice poem” on Tuesday. One copy needs to be handed in to me during class with the poetic devices labeled. It also needs to be emailed to me at school.
Thank you for continuing to check teachers‘ blogs and the online gradebook to stay up to date with your student’s activities. Thank you also for helping your student turn in any overdue library books.
