As we approach the holidays, we are now at the point where "band aids" need to be removed and a full embrace of what is there is now needed. With everyone starting at the same two week rush, work seems to be inevitable:
8th Grade
Students should finish their reading in Howard Zinn's "Robber Barons and Rebels" by Wednesday or Thursday of this week. Students will receive their Assessments for the Howard Zinn Unit on Wednesday. Students will need to complete an Enrichment sheet on a portion of the reading. Both the completed Enrichment Sheet and the Assessments are due on Friday, December 17 or before students leave for Winter Break. All stakeholders should strongly encourage students to keep up with the reading and make sure that nightly progress is made to ensure timely completion of tasks.
7th Grade
Students should be working on their Chapter 6 Assessments. Rough drafts can be submitted by Friday of this week. Students must ensure that they have a completed writing task as well as two sets of Check Your Progress Questions from Chapter 6 to be submitted on Friday, December 17 or before students leave for Winter Break. All stakeholders should strongly encourage students to keep up with the reading and make sure that nightly progress is made to ensure timely completion of tasks.
As report cards are sent home with students on Friday of this week, all students are reminded that the past is prologue and that what is done in the next two weeks can have a profound impact on is to lie ahead.
All best and happy hunting.
