Week of September 1-5
*This week I will NOT be sending out reminders for students who did not complete their Quill assignments. It is now left up to the student and their parents to traverse PowerSchool to check for grades & assignments that need completion.
I spent most of last Sunday going through emails updating assignments, and this should be the student’s responsibility. I hope you understand. Students need to take ownership of their work and advocate for themselves as this year progresses. They are young men and women, and will learn responsibility through this trend.
Upcoming, we will be reading a short story entitled “The Landlady.” There is a tea party in the story, and generally, I share graham crackers with students as we read the story to mimic a tea party. I need your help in making this successful.
Donations of graham crackers and mini water bottles would be appreciated. I have 142 students currently in classes.
Monday-Labor Day Holiday-No School
Tuesday-A Monster Calls, Daily Writing, MUGshot
Wednesday-Performance Matters Mid-Test (no studying), Complete Project on Short Story

IMPORTANT: Essay #1 is due September 19th. It is to be done in class.
Book Report #1 is due September 22nd. This will also be done in class.

QUILL is due Friday of every week.
Have a great weekend!
