Weekly Memo: Superbowl Aftermath

Congratulations to the Baltimore Ravens for winning the Superbowl yesterday. It was a great game and a lot of fun to watch, even with the 30 minute delay due to a power outage. My team didn't win, but that's mainly because the Falcons didn't make it to the Superbowl, but  at this point, I was interested in a good game, and that's exactly what I got.

Tomorrow, the Lady Cougars basketball team have their own championship to worry about as they face Carver for the championship at 5PM. Make sure you're there to support our Lady Cougars as they bring home the championship.

On Wednesday, we will participate in the state-wide tornado drill.

On Thursday, the school will issue progress reports for all classes, so be on the look-out for those. They all will need to be signed and returned the next day.

Both classes have their Book Report Project quickly approaching, and at this point, most students should be finishing their books and moving into working on their projects. It is due on Wednesday, February 27, 2013, the week we come back from Mid-Winter Break.

In 1st and 6th Period Literature, today we finished up our Student Reading Inventories to see where all the students' reading levels are. Tomorrow, we will begin work on our new short story, from Immigrant Kids by Russell Freedman.

In 2nd and 3rd Period Read 180, today we began a brand new workshop, Workshop 3 - Identity Crisis. We watched the preview video of this workshop that helps answer the question "Who are you?" We will continue the prereading for the workshop before starting up our first story from the unit, "Louisa, Please Come Home" by Shirley Jackson.

Hope everyone has a great week!
