MATH
- Part 2 (Communication and Application) TEST for 4.6-4.8 Tomorrow (NO JOKE!)
ENGLISH
- Please come to class with 2 printed frameworks - we will be peer-editing in class in order to help prepare for the full in class essay next Friday.
- Those students who have not completed any frameworks must still complete them and know that they are past due.
- Tomorrow I will hand out and go over the Essay rubric
- I will also be using a checklist for each framework as a formative grade (x3)
This blog will be used as a means to maintain contact between school, parents, and students. By subscribing to the class blog ("Follow by Email" on the right side of the page), you will receive an email update every day (I will do my best...).
Mission Statement
My mission as a teacher is to help my students realize that through learning, they can enhance their life in a positive way. I want to help all my students believe in themselves and through that belief, take on the challenges of life and go forward.
