We've made it through the first week! I've looked forward to meeting those students who will be with me for the next nine months. Today, students received their first essay assignment. The students will write about 3 goals they hope to achieve by May 2008. They will select one personal, academic and extracurricular goal to achieve and explain the steps they will take to complete the goals. This is a great way for students to have a positive outlook on the school year and have something to achieve. In the month of May we will revisit these essays and see how close we got to our goals. The first draft of the paper is due September 4th.
In reading classes, students received the assignment for their first book report of the year. This book report is called "Character Significance." Students will select 4-5 pictures and explain in 5-6 sentences (per each picture) how the picture is significant to the main character(s) in the book.
Students were given a handout that lists all requirements. Book reports are due on September 21st.
Have a safe and fun 3 day weekend!
