1. Students used their composition books for writing a rough draft for their forgiveness essay.
2. Students received their (yellow) packet for writing their essay about forgiveness. See the instructions, prompt, and rubric.
3. Students went to the computer lab to type their essays into GoMYAccess. You have unlimited submissions, so revise from home all you want.
*** Wednesday, September 17 at 3:30 p.m. will be the cut off for midterm grades and qualifying for our Making the Grade activity. If the student has a D or lower as of Sept. 17, it means the student will not be permitted to attend the making the grade activity on Friday, September 26. All students who make the grade this quarter will get an ice cream sandwich during advisory.
** We have a student who read his Book-of-the-Month at home, then came into Cave Time to do the project. He completely finished the project during a few days of Cave Time. You, too, can take advantage of this great opportunity to avoid homework!
Today (February 13) is Ouida Sebestyen's Birthday! Here are some more books she has written. Ms. Dorsey has read Out of Nowhere, and highly recommends it.
