Paperwork, etc.

Parents:  The following items were sent out for your review over the past four days:
---My curriculum paper (please sign and send back with your student)
---Important Information (a white piece of paper)
---The Million Word essay

Please make sure you read over all of those items to ensure that your child has the correct supplies and knows the procedures.  Please email me the million word essay whenever you get a chance.  These are very helpful for me while getting to know the students.

All classes except my 7th period have also received the Reading Logs and should start working on those this weekend to get a head start on the thousand page requirement.

Summer reading assignments, if they have not been turned in already, are due the Tuesday (A day) and Wednesday (B day) after Labor Day.

Tomorrow and Monday, we will take the first baseline assessment of the year for Unit 1.

Summer Reading Assignment and Books

All students should have been working on their summer reading assignments over the summer break.  The requirements are on the JLCP website if you have not seen them yet.  The summer reading assignment may be turned in on the first day of school (A and B days). There may be a bit of a reward for turning the assignment in on the first two days because that shows that you were proactive!  However, it is officially due no later than September 4th (A day) and September 5th (B day).  I will NOT take any after those days.

On another note, I have a class set of Literature books this year, so you do not need to bring the copy you received at orientation back to school.  If you left the book in your locker, you may go ahead and take it home after the first day.

Please see the previous post to ensure you have all of the necessary supplies!  I look forward to seeing everyone bright and early on Monday!
