5th week

Although this is a short week, I wanted to make sure all students knew where they stood on their grades at the moment. I printed out progress reports on Friday.
The students were told they have until Wednesday, February 16th, to turn in any missing work and do tests that they had missed class during.
We normally do progress reports during week 6 and I have decided that Wednesday is the cut off day for make up work. Doing the school progress reports is very difficult and it is impossible to take last minute work and do all the grades.

ENGLISH - I have sent home questions for the weekend on "THE TRUTH." We are to the end of this novel and the students are being asked to answer questions on the last section of the book. I would prefer them to bring them to school typed on Tuesday the 22nd. This way they will not have the opportunity to get in trouble for not having the work, or copying the work when they get to school.

DEBATE - We are learning the types of arguments. Students are to work out arguments based on "Teen being sent to adult prisons". This is something that is easily searchable and they should have their own opinions to work from.

Have a great Break. See you on the 22nd.
Mrs. Frederick
