Week 4

Hello all!

Yearbook:  I'm really excited about the first ever Yearbook Field Trip on Friday.  Remember to get your permission forms signed, your teacher forms signed, and bring in your $9 tomorrow!  On Friday morning we'll meet right before the bell in front of the school to be picked up.  Don't go to 1st period!  Come right outside!

Deadlines are coming up!  On Monday, you'll get your first grade to make sure you're working effectively on what you need to have done.  Everybody's layouts are due soon!  Our push for the week will be Senior Ads and Book Sales.  We need to think of targeted ideas for the last week of September for sales.

World Lit:  We had our first major vocabulary quiz on Monday and I was shocked with the results.  The class averages for 1st, 3rd, and 4th period were in the 80s (woo hoo!), while the class average for 5th period was in the 60s!  What happened!?!?!  Make sure, no matter what, you're studying those unit 2 words and getting your workbook done!  If you want extra practice, go to the Resource page of the blog for online quizzes and games.

This week our push is Persuasive Writing in practice for the GHSWT.  This will be your first BIG writing grade, so try your best!

The first 6 weeks grade reports are coming up quickly!  They'll go home on 9/25.  Make sure you're keeping up with your work.  Many students have been out sick and have missed quizzes and assignements.  I'm available before school from 8-8:20.  Make sure you make an appointment.  You have earned a 0 until you make it up!

Have a great week!
