Today we worked on station tasks; everyone started with Station 1 since revision or submissions are due tonight at 11:59 PM. This work was assigned over a week ago, and I will grade all work on Saturday.
- Students may work on the stations this weekend, Monday, and/or Tuesday. All station work must be finished by the end of class Tuesday; students will turn in the checklists with my stamps or stickers and should not misplace them. Students should also keep up with all hard copy work for stations, especially Station 3 work that will be part of our “speed dating” discussions about the short story “The Black Cat” on Wednesday, 11/11.
- Keep in mind that Monday is also a day students may work on 2nd quarter book projects; these projects (will be a test grade) are due 11/13 and have been available to students for a month. Students may also work on the project Thursday in class (November 12) if needed.
- Tuesday students may finish stations if needed; we also have a Canvas writing and reflection assignment over “The Black Cat” that day as well.
- I have several students, including most students in Period 8-6, who have not completed any minutes in Membean since October 20. Starting next week, we’ll be transitioning to Membean practice counting as a grade; students will need to complete two (2) 15 minutes sessions each week. I usually provide one day of class, but students will need to do the other day at home. Your child can show you his/her dashboard, and it will clearly state if they’ve met the time goal or not.
- Progress reports go home on Thursday, November 12 for all students in all classes.
Below is a summary of important upcoming dates and assignments as well as preview of next week in class. If you have questions, please email me at buffy.hamilton@hallco.org.
