I want to thank you all for helping to make my first week at Campbell such a positive one. I am so happy to have all of you in my class! Yes, even you. Especially you. It's been a joy to begin to get to know you.
This week we did a lot of getting ready for the year--what standards are expected, assignments to give me a baseline of your abilities. If you have not turned in the Letter to the Future, a copy of the instructions are on the Resources page. Please get that to me by Monday so I can grade it. Because it is the first assignment, I will take it late, on Monday. After this, everything is due when it is due and the late policy applies.
Speaking of policies, make sure you turn in the Student Survey and your parents/guardians complete the Parent/Guardian Survey (both linked on the Resources page). Those policies do go into effect on Monday and I'll be distributing Errand Passes to students who have both surveys completed.
You have 3 big assignments coming up, don't forget to complete your reading of the Alchemist to be ready for these assignments and ready for Monday. (Honors students, remember to bring a copy (digital or physical) of the Kite Runner to class.)
- The Precourse Reading Assignment
- The Personal Legend Narrative Essay
- The Where I'm From Poem
I encourage you to show your parents my blog, and the instructions for the assignments you have to complete. They might be able to help you remember some things from your childhood that you may have forgotten.
I hope you have a fantastic weekend. I look forward to seeing you on Monday (and testing how well I can remember your names after the weekend).
Happy Friday!
