We've made it through the first week of the new school year (hooray!) and I am finally updating my blog for the first time since last year. My apologies for the lack of information!
Parents, if you have not done so already, please send your contact information (names, phone numbers, and email addresses) with your child so that we may more easily stay connected with everyone. Hopefully, we can put together a newsletter and an email list so that everyone can stay updated on awesome team 8A. Also, we thank you for the supplies that have so far been donated! We still could use some more copy paper (colors are fine), hand sanitizer, tissues, and art supplies (colored pencils and markers, especially).
Students, don't forget to be working on your 30 minutes of Compass Odyssey and reading journals each week. The first day I check Odyssey will be Friday, September 3rd, and reading journals will be checked on September 9th and 10th. The absolute last day to turn in summer reading will be September 7th.
Finally, make sure you bring your literature books to class EVERY DAY, unless otherwise stated. It wastes valuable class time when I have to place students with the more responsible students that did bring their books. Be warned...there may be days when I count having books as a grade!
Here's hoping for a wonderful Week 2!
