  • The term ends on this Friday, October 25.  Teachers turn in grades THAT DAY!
  • Book orders are due by October 25.
Party time!  Next time, you may bring treats!  We will watch the rest of the video.  

Have you handed in your Character Cube yet?
Carefully check the instructions on the first page of your blue packet, and the grading on the last page.
If you handed in your rough draft VERY LATE, and haven't received it back yet, pick it up immediately from the bottom wire basket for your class.  You don't have to wait for class time to pick it up.
Your cubes must come in immediately so the teacher has time to grade them and enter the grades on Skyward before the cut-off for term grades.
