Writing Celebration entries are due to me in class on Thursday. Students need to attach the completed entry form (signed by you) to the typed copy of prose or poetry. I will pass it on to the judges after I receive Mr. Sindelar's signature.
Student-led Portfolio Conferences are approaching. Please make sure that you contact the conferencing teacher or your student's adviser if you have not already. If you have not received a form in the mail, please list 3-4 time slots that are good for you between 1 PM and 7 PM on Thursday, February 3, and pass that on to your student's adviser. Please remember that your student is leading the conference, and you need to arrive 15 minutes prior to the start of the conference appointment.
The "Kindness and Justice Challenge" rough drafts are due at the beginning of class on Thursday. The typed, final version will be due next Wednesday, with all outlines and drafts attached. Students are encouraged to type the rough draft, if at all possible. Encourage your student to share this activity with you and remind them to add specific details.
Last week students turned in a revised, creative story, which you will be able to view during conferences.
Thanks for continuing to check the teachers' blogs and gradebook to help your student stay up to date. Your support is really important to your student and to me.
