Today is the start of our third marking period. We still have half of the school year left. If your grades weren't as high as you would have like them to be in MP1 and MP2 this is a great chance to tun them around. At the beginning of a marking period, everybody has an "A+". It is your job to keep it! |
We now have a reading schedule for our literature circle books. Click here to see what chapter you are supposed to read up to and by what date! |
Thanks to everyone who brought in food, drinks, or supplies for our publishing party! It was a tremendous success and I am very proud of all of you who turned in polished essays and also those who were brave enough to read their essays out loud to the class. Amazing job everybody! |
TeenBiz3000 multiple choice activity completion is now a part of your 2nd marking period grade. Be sure to keep up with all TeenBiz3000 assignments so your grade doesn't get hurt. Parents and families - if your child is working on TeenBiz at home, please do not help your child with the answers as this makes it difficult to figure out what skills your child needs additional practice with. All TeenBiz3000 multiple choice activities are graded for completion only. (Students get a 100% if they complete the activity on time regardless of their score on the exercise). |
Look in the "class files" section for each day's powerpoint and class handout! |
Would you like to receive nightly text messages telling you your child's English homework for that night? If so, email me your cell phone number as well as the carrier you use. (Verizon, AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile, etc.) Please note that unless you have a texting plan, your carrier will charge you for every text received. Your number will only be used for this purpose. |
UASCJ will be holding parent-teacher conferences Tuesday afternoon and evening on November 18th from 1:00-3:30 and 5:30-8:00pm. When you come to the school, pick up your child's report card and sign up for a slot to speak with me about your child's grade. I will be in room 427. |
