I'm so sorry to be late with this BLOG entry. I took a photo of the Homework Hotline board yesterday and printed it for students who tape it into their planners, but then forgot to post a BLOG entry. OOPS.

I have asked students to be more prompt with math and reading assignments. I am correcting them each night, putting them in the SIS gradebook, and giving them back to students the next day. That is a big effort and I want you to know the gradebook is absolutely current in math and reading. If you see a missing assignment there - it's because it has not been turned in.

Students are creating string, line designs in math to practice graphing skills. They are hanging in the hall at the top of the stairs. Students have worked hard and these designs look great! Some students are still stitching. The designs are due by Friday.

Your students have probably mentioned we will be making plaster bandage masks next week. look for a note tomorrow.

Students have constructed a magnetized pocket viewer for the front of their lockers. These are designed to show off their "best work." Right now, students are displaying a WORDLE poem, which they wrote to describe themselves. At a later time they may display artwork or their best math paper.
