***PLEASE NOTE THAT I BELIEVE THE PROBLEM WITH MY TEACHERWEB EMAIL LINK IS
NOW CORRECTED. I WAS PREVIOUSLY UNABLE TO RECEIVE EMAIL VIA THE WEB LINK, BUT
NOW BELIEVE I AM. IF THE LINK FAILS TO GET A RESPONSE, PLEASE EMAIL ME

HAS WRITTEN WITHOUT A RESPONSE! I DID NOT RECEIVE YOUR NOTE!
BIOGRAPHY PROJECT: All students should now have chosen a biography or
autobiography book. Students will be reading independently and should finish
the first quarter of the book and related activity sheet by Wed. Feb 3rd.
BOOKS SHOULD COME TO CLASS DAILY AS READING WILL BE ALLOWED WHEN TIME ALLOWS
IN ALL TEAM CLASSES!!! Do not procrastinate--START NOW! A
district writing assessment will follow the reading of the books.
FEBRUARY 8-12:
MOnday-we'll wrap up folktales with "Anansi" (p.804). Packets are due today!
Tuesday- Review of mythology and folktales for test
Wednesday- Test on mythology (if snow, test is Thursday!)
Thursday-Friday- Myth writing project begins
**PLEASE NOTE THAT LATE PACKETS WILL RECEIVE A GRADE NO HIGHER
THAN A 65. MY GOAL IS TO TEACH RESPONSIBILITY AND MEETING DUE DATES IS A
LARGE PART OF ACADEMIC SUCCESS. STUDENTS THAT STRUGGLE OFTEN DO SO BECAUSE
OF LATE OR MISSING WORK. I'D LIKE TO ENSURE THAT STUDENTS TURN WORK IN ON
TIME, UNLESS IN CASE OF ABSENCE OR OTHER EXTENUATING CIRCUMSTANCE. I SHOOT
FOR 100% COMPLIANCE WITH DUE DATES...AND THE STUDENTS OFTEN MEET THAT
EXPECTATION.
REMEMBER PARENTS: YOU ARE A PART OF THIS PROCESS. EACH PACKET SHOULD BE
SIGNED BY A
PARENT OR GUARDIAN. THAT WAY YOU KNOW IF IT IS COMPLETE, AND YOU SEE THE
QUALITY OF WORK YOUR CHILD IS DOING.
*******WE ARE SUCCESSFULLY TURNING IN PACKET WORK. Keep it up!
