Today's Quote:

'What shape waits in the seed of you to grow and spread its branches against a future sky.'
~ David Whyte



RECAP:


Parents, OneNote has a parent link as well. If you want to know if your child is doing their work, email me, and I will give you your link. To reiterate, in my class, students will have homework 2 to 3 nights each week. If you are not seeing them do homework, then they are not doing well in my class.For this week, students are being graded on the pages we create in OneNote as practice use of the tools and activities.

Intensive reading classes are shifting this week! 


Students who correct ALL the mistakes on their returned papers will receive 10 points more. Make your corrections on a separate piece of paper and staple it to the actual paper, turn it in. Example: If you scored a 60 on an assignment and you correct ALL of the mistakes, I will add 10 points to make it a 70.

Entry Task/ Brain Bender:

What five letter word becomes shorter when you add two letters to it?
