Weekly Memo - Back to Normal

Good morning!

We have finished up the last of our benchmark tests and are back to a normal schedule this week. Due to the fact that last week's schedule was so crazy, I've extended last week's CRCT Practice #6's deadline until tomorrow, so if you didn't get it done last week, you have two more days to do so.

This week we are picking up where we left off last week.

In 1st and 6th Period, we continue reading Ann McCaffrey's "The Smallest Dragonboy," and in 2nd and 3rd Period, we finish up "Lousia, Please Come Home" by Shirley Jackson and read a couple of poems that deal with the theme of identity.

CRCT Practice #7 is already online and the due date for that will be this Friday. Also, students need to log on to Study Island (instructions are posted in the last two memos) for additional assignments. Any practice tests that are assigned to the class are in areas of weakness heading into the CRCT. The first practice test is due by this Saturday and it covers Conflict. Both of these assignments are for all of my classes.

Starting Wednesday, the Media Center will hold their second Book Fair, so make sure you check that out. This also means that we will not have our regularly scheduled library day. With books being due on Wednesday, make sure you drop them off on the way to connections. If you are interested in renewing your books, let me know, so I can make arrangements to send you to the library to get it renewed before Wednesday.

Alright, that's it from me. Everyone have a good week.
